Very useful hurdler and last track success came here in 3m beginners chase just over a year ago (yielding) for Gordon Elliott; well held here in 2m6f handicap in November and reported to have bled from the nose when pulled up in 3m2f Cheltenham handicap on New Year's Day, having not jumped well; questions to answer on cross-country debut. |

Bumper winner is 0-10 over hurdles; went close in a Punchestown novice handicap in February 2024 off 114 and 2lb lower now; decent effort in a maiden at Limerick latest (3m, good); testing ground fine and he has place claims at least. |

11st 7lb |
Gained a fifth win over hurdles at Cartmel last June but has lost his way since; heavy defeats the last twice at Naas and Aintree; is at least back down to last winning mark, but needs a revival. |

Irish challenger who has done his winning at about 2m, mostly at Cartmel where he remains unbeaten; far from consistent and can be opposed in this highly competitive scenario back up in distance. |

Absent an improved display that saw him win a 2m6f novice handicap hurdle at Down Royal 17 months ago; the market may shed light on his prospects. |

2nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 3m 4f 61y |
11st 11lb |
Sole win from 21 runs came in a Listed novice handicap chase at Navan last March (2m5f, heavy) off this mark; badly out of form since and now makes stable debut with first-time cheekpieces replacing the blinkers worn the last day. |

26th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 6f 111y |
10st 7lb |
Won a Listed handicap chase at Navan in March (2m4f, heavy) off 7lb lower so can't be entirely dismissed, though he could have shaped a lot better after a break at Gowran (behind some of these). |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 100y |
11st 3lb |
Dual-purpose; 2-14 over hurdles, the latest win coming off 5lb lower at Gowran (2m4f, soft) in October; not a bad run when fading in the closing stages at Punchestown latest (23.5f, yielding) after a break; sharper now, this shorter trip a plus and has run well here on the Flat; in the mix. |

Three-time Flat winner won his second hurdle race at Gowran over 2m4f last October but was pulled-up at this track next time; poor on the Flat latest; others make more appeal |

Three-time Flat winner added his second hurdles win with a hard-fought victory at Gowran (2m4f) in October; makes AW debut now after being pulled up over hurdles at Punchestown when last seen; 4lb above last Flat winning mark but not ruled out. |
