11st 8lb |
One of eight for trainer; dual bumper and maiden hurdle winner in 2024; runner-up on chase debut at this venue (2m7f, heavy) before falling four out back here next time; failed to justify 5-6 favouritism at Naas (2m4f, soft to heavy) last time when a 0.5l second behind Spread Boss Ted; now enters handicap chase company. |

11st 12lb |
One of three for trainer; rated 134 over hurdles; completed a hat-trick (two bumpers/maiden hurdle) in 2024; finished second/third in Graded races over 3m/2m4f; good effort on chasing debut at Punchestown (2m7f, heavy) to take the runner-up spot despite market weakness; fell at four out back at that venue last time; Townend sticks with him and this looks easier than his previous starts. |

Maiden hurdle winner; good second here last August off this mark (20.5f, good); poor form in three points since and jumped poorly when pulled up on return to hurdling at Kilbeggan latest; blinkers reached for. |

Maiden hurdle winner here in 2024 (2m4f, good); good second at Sligo when last seen under rules' in August last year off 97 (2m5f, good) in final start for Adrian Murray; point-to-point form since then raises questions |

Career has been punctuated by long absences; decent effort at Clonmel last time (2m4f, yielding) when left in fourth; this trip could bring improvement. |

Career has been punctuated by long breaks; coped better than most with very testing conditions when third of four finishers at Thurles (2m7f, heavy) last month on stable debut; two less encouraging runs since then; hard to assess, makes handicap debut. |

Career has been punctuated by long breaks; coped better than most with very testing conditions when third of four finishers at Thurles (2m7f, heavy) last month on stable debut; tailed off here 15 days ago (2m3f, soft to heavy); others bring more pressing claims. |
