Lightly-raced for his age; first past the post in a Ballinrobe bumper a long time ago but was subsequently disqualified and been around the houses in Britain since; creditable effort over 2m1f at Limerick on second start for yard and cheekpieces added. |

Veteran who enhanced his excellent record here with an 11l success over this trip last month, when the return to drier ground made a big difference; raised 8lb but he's historically well handicapped still. |

11st 10lb |
Has run many of his best races at this track, three wins and three seconds from 14 visits; poor run at Wexford last month; the balance of this season's form has been respectable, and his liking for this circuit is a significant positive |

Decent mare over hurdles, though only one win; chase winner in her young days in France; ordinary handicap chase form last season; last month's 2l third at Clonmel was encouraging. |

Flat/hurdles winner on soft; yet to show a great deal over fences; flopped when favourite for Clonmel race won by today's rival Druim Samhraidh; possibly unwise to rule out. |

C&D winner in November and ran well when second at Newcastle (2m, good to soft) 11 days later; looked the likeliest winner before unseating late at Taunton in December and now needs to bounce back from a disappointing run at Fontwell on Boxing Day (jumped right); tough mark but remains of interest with Sean Bowen booked. |

Last won over hurdles here (2m, good) in 2022; rated 23lb higher over fences but hard to fancy on the evidence of his last three runs over hurdles at Clonmel. |

Hurdles win came at Tramore back in 2022, more recently won over fences at Wexford last summer; soft ground not ideal of late so improvement on the cards back on a sound surface. |

Infrequent winner but consistent in the main and deserved his Wexford chase victory a year ago; has failed to take advantage of lower hurdles mark in three outings since then; tailed off here four weeks ago in the race won by Courtbrack Boy. |

Likes a sharp 2m and good ground; first past the post against useful rival at Killarney in October and better for recent comeback; 2lb wrong and ground may not be dry enough. |
