Off the mark when showing improved form to beat a subsequent winner in 2m Punchestown maiden in February (heavy); place prospects when last-flight faller in 2m4f Perth handicap in April (soft) and has since left Willie Mullins; probably needs to improve to play a major role on yard debut. |

11st 12lb |
Winner of a Down Royal maiden hurdle in March 2024; reported coughing after a poor run the following month; off for almost two years before chasing debut at Naas two months ago, jumped untidily and never in contention. |

Rated 125 over hurdles; fell and unseated in his point runs; winner of a Down Royal maiden hurdle in March 2024; coughed following a very poor effort in a novice contest here in April 2024; unseen since then and can only be watched after such a long absence. |

11st 0lb |
Maiden hurdle winner in 2024 has won three chases since and is rated 128 in that sphere; was second in a Bellewstown claimer in August when last over hurdles; a spin in the charity race at Punchestown can have him straight; valuable 5lb claimer a help. |

11st 10lb |
Reversed previous C&D form with King Roly under an aggressive front-running ride from Sean Bowen here 17 days ago (good); that wasn't without the occasional scare over his fences but he's clearly capable of going well again off just 4lb higher. |

Some promise in three maidens, notably when staying on late into fourth of 16 at this venue (16.5f, heavy) in February; looked a potential improver on handicap debut but that didn't come to fruition; the jury is out. |

His four-race Irish career stalled but he made a winning start for new yard by a neck in maiden hurdle at Hereford (2m, good) in April, leading at the final flight; the second, third, sixth and ninth have won over hurdles since; with more still to learn in that Hereford race, he brings potential as well as a leading chance on form. |

Flat winner; took his second hurdle race when scoring at Tipperary in July; not a bad Wexford run after, poor at Killarney on next start; addition of tongue-tie seemed to have a positive effect when second at Fairyhouse just over two weeks ago; 5lb claimer rode last Sunday's Munster National winner. |
