10st 5lb |
One of his three hurdle wins came at this track in 2024; dual chase winner afterwards; mostly below form over fences last season, but this ground suits better so could put up an improved show. |

Five-time winner; both his chase wins have come at Thurles on good ground; last two runs have been respectable but looks held by Harbour Highway and Lisleigh Lad on Leopardstown running; rider Phidelma Elvin won this in 2023. |

11st 8lb |
Is 0-17 but comes here in good nick, third of 19 in 3m Down Royal handicap ten days ago; he can make his presence felt once more. |

30th Aug 2024 Good 3m 0f 0y |
11st 1lb |
Remains a maiden but went close at Downpatrick in May (2m6f, good) from 3lb lower; had the race at his mercy when a faller at Perth next time; failed to quicken when fourth at Downpatrick when sent off favourite this month but has a 13lb pull in the weights with the reopposing Mister Vic. |

Remains a maiden but nearly put that right over C&D in May when 4lb lower and had every chance when falling at Perth next time; it wasn't a bad run back there four weeks ago and he's in the mix. |

Won over fences last year at Kilbeggan off 1lb higher; however, has been well beaten over hurdles and fences lately so others preferred. |

10st 9lb |
Some decent placed form over fences last year, most notably when 6.5l second to Kyle Valley at Tramore (2m6f, yld) in handicap chase off 79 in May; proved he's in good heart when runner-up in point-to-point last month so he could figure. |

Yet to score after 34 starts between hurdles and fences but has run well at times, including latest when staying on second (Early Arrival 8.5l away third) to a clear winner in 2m6f Tramore handicap chase in May; place claims again. |
