Form & Verdict
Two AW wins and successful over hurdles at Clonmel around this time last season; has been running over fences since the start of this year and was rewarded with a convincing 10l success in a 2m1f handicap at Ballinrobe last month; second over hurdles at the same track last time; may find a couple of the geldings too strong.

Five-time winner under all rules, including two chases, the first coming in a handicap over C&D in May; since won a Roscommon novice and second at Killarney; disappointing over hurdles at that track last time but is more effective over fences.

Form & Verdict
Rated 134 over hurdles, though below form when last ran in that sphere, in a Grade 1 novice; won a well-contested Leopardstown novice on chasing debut over 2m1f with Je T'Ai Porte in third; made it two from two when recovering from an error two out to win readily at Clonmel; should extend sequence if handling the ground.

Largely consistent; all wins at up to 2m4f but ran well over 3m in the Kerry National at Listowel (soft) and Munster National at Limerick (good) the last twice, finishing second both times; threatening to land a race of this nature and has possibilities provided he stays the extra 2f.

Form & Verdict
Smart four-time hurdle winner; disappointing at Bellewstown last July on final 2023 start; won with plenty to spare on last month's chasing debut at Ballinrobe, profiting from a below-par run by a stablemate of Horanzau D'Airy; should be able to hold his own.
