Winner on soft at Sligo in 2023 and added 1m4f Dundalk AW win this time last year; recent runs at latter venue leave him with a fair bit to find however. |

His two wins include a C&D score last October; mixed form on turf this year and beaten nearly 7l over 1m2.5f here last week; this trip suits better but still needs more. |

Dual-purpose; 3-11 over hurdles; solid Flat run at Navan (1m6f, heavy) after 156-day absence in March but has failed to fire in two handicap hurdles since; remains 9lb above last winning mark; may need respite from the handicapper. |

Won at this meeting last year after a break and has generally held form well since, adding wins over hurdles at Listowel and on the Flat at Thurles; went close at Galway in October on last run over timber and just 2lb higher here; pleasing return on the Flat at Navan last week; interesting. |

Second runner for James Nash; dual-purpose mare has won twice over hurdles; maiden in this sphere but her fourth to You Make Me Smile in last year's renewal was one of her best Flat runs and she has a nice pull at the weights; place chance. |
