Yet to win over fences; not easy to fancy after being pulled-up at Tramore last week when jumped poorly. |

Better than ever last year, winning over hurdles twice, including here (2m6f, yielding); 0-12 chasing but stayed on for third over C&D in May after racing wide; and would have got closer at Wexford last time but for repeated jumping errors; place chance if jumps better. |

Winless from 15 tries over hurdles; respectable efforts without threatening the last twice at Wexford; related to winning chaser O'Faolains Lad so perhaps this discipline can unlock more from him. |

Over three years since he won a hurdle and chase for Gigginstown and Henry de Bromhead; placed in both disciplines in June so there's still a bit of life in him and new headgear tried; likes decent ground. |

Now 0-14 over hurdles but several solid runs in handicaps over this trip; well below best back in maiden company at Sligo last time but on best form holds every chance here in a weak enough maiden. |

Sole success came in a maiden hurdle in 2023; has run well in handicaps off higher marks than this; stayed on late for fifth over 2m6f (good) at Ballinrobe last time out in first-time cheekpieces (retained); dropped 2lb and could go well stepped back up to 3m. |

Maiden hurdle winner at Thurles also ran well in 2m7f handicaps at Punchestown off 100 mark early last year (soft); lightly raced and well below best this past winter but entitled to come on from recent Cork comeback run and is down to a dangerous-looking mark. |

Sole win from 28 hurdling attempts in 2m Cork handicap nearly three years ago; pick of recent form when second there over 2m4f (good) in October, heavy ground probably didn't suit here on latest; on a fair mark and better ground to suit so don't rule out. |

1-27 over hurdles, the win coming over 2m on soft to heavy at Cork in April 2022; back to back decent runs in October-November, including over this C&D but both runs came on good ground; not as good in two runs since but he handles testing ground; not discounted. |

Conditions are fine for this veteran; has gone well here before and he's well handicapped but hasn't won since October 2024 and his recent efforts have been well below par; revival needed. |

Had struggled for form before winning his second start over fences quite convincingly at Wexford (2m3f) last month and easily followed up off 5lb higher at this course; returns to hurdling off 19lb lower mark compared to chase rating; must have a big chance. |

Beaten a head in this race last year off 129 on preferred soft ground; pulled up final two outings last term and didn't count (blood in nostrils) on last month's comeback run over hurdles; entitled to come on for that but legitimate questions to answer at this stage and ideally wants softer ground. |
