10st 5lb |
Won a valuable staying handicap chase at the 2024 Punchestown festival; ordinary form since then, although did well to maintain contact with top-class performers when 66-1 outsider of four at Down Royal on St Patrick's Day; flattered by proximity but the run implies a return to form; rider doing well in point-to-points, 8-22 this season. |

10st 12lb |
Both career wins at Limerick; went close here over hurdles in February; solid third of 12 in Tramore handicap chase last month (21.5f, good to yielding); in the hunt for the places back at his favourite venue. |

10st 9lb |
Just 1-17 over fences and that 3m1f victory at Kilbeggan was in 2024; beaten a head at Limerick last year and a neck in Listed contest at Leopardstown in March, and has crept up the ratings as a result; another decent effort at Punchestown last time when Cobden got to know him. |

Sole chase win came in 3m1f Kilbeggan handicap in 2024 but career-best on latest when just failing to get up in 2m6f Leopardstown handicap in March (yielding-to-soft), his first run since August; should go well. |

Solee chase win came in 3m1f Kilbeggan handicap in 2024, absent since second in same race last August off 11lb higher; lack of a recent run a concern, so too the ground. |

11st 6lb |
All his form is on soft or heavy ground, including two handicap wins last April and the second of those was this race by a nose from Surrey Quest (always prominent); 5lb higher today but the chief worry is that he's been so horrendously out of form this season. |

Has won three points and a hunter chase; best run since joining this yard when close second in Killarney hunter chase last May; big run after short break when fourth at Limerick last month in the mud; can go well from same mark. |

Second in a Killarney hunter chase in May but was well below that form in a similar race at Listowel since so needs to bounce back in a handicap. |

Back to form when third at Navan in a handicap hurdle he was placed in the previous year; tailed off and pulled up in his last two chases but has won in this discipline and could have a say. |
