11st 12lb |
One-time smart hurdler is yet to win over fences in 11 starts but some decent efforts, notably C&D second at Christmas off 1lb lower (soft-to-heavy); none too fluent and faded tamely over 3m latest; can't rule out back at this track and ground okay (cheekpieces back on for blinkers). |

One-time smart hurdler is yet to win over fences in ten starts but some decent efforts; took third here in November (3m, heavy) and went one place better at Limerick when last seen over Christmas with first-time blinkers (retained); up 2lb but his mark is low compared to what it was over hurdles; in the mix. |

Three-time chase winner is 2-24 over timber, including a win here on heavy over 2m4f; rated 22lb higher over fences but has been out of sorts since winning a handicap chase at Kilbeggan in June; first time cheekpieces and tongue tie combination needs to spark a revival. |

Returned to some sort of form on her debut for this trainer when a solid fourth in a 2m2f handicap hurdle at Downpatrick last month; more needed but well-handicapped if coming back to form. |

Two wins over hurdles, the most recent over 3m at Thurles nearly two years ago; seasonal best on return to his original trainer when second over 3m at this venue after Christmas; unplaced in a handicap of a higher standard at Fairyhouse last time; stablemate Bal De Rio is marginally better suited by the race conditions but lacks a recent run. |
