12st 0lb |
Hurdle/chase winner in Ireland but on a losing run now and, although he ran better when third of four finishers at Exeter recently than he had on his yard debut there, a few more pounds off his back wouldn't go amiss. |

11st 0lb |
Highly progressive for new yard this season and has won handicaps on her last four hurdle starts (2m7f-3m1f, good-soft), most recently in comfortable fashion at Ludlow last month; this is a much tougher test of her credentials but it remains to be seen where her limitations now lie. |

Won on yielding ground in Ireland but her two hurdle wins (2m7f and 3m) in October were both on good ground and good to soft is probably as slow as she wants it; fell on her return to fences before Christmas and needs to justify a career-high mark, 7lb higher than her latest win. |

Won a beginners' at Tramore on chase debut on his penultimate start but it was a low-key run when sent off favourite for a handicap hurdle at Wexford last week; workable mark if he can bounce back (went close off mark of 100 last summer) and return to this sort of trip will probably help. |

Smart hurdler who has taken really well to chasing, winning last two starts; 2m4f Fairyhouse beginners (heavy) and relished step up in trip over C&D 16 days ago when outstaying an odds-on shot on soft; set for another big run with conditions to suit. |

Was the 1-8 favourite when winning a mares' maiden hurdle at Cork (2m1f, good to yielding) last year; behind Killinure Lass on return from a break at Galway in a handicap hurdle last time but should improve for the run; now makes chase debut for top yard and always dangerous to discount horses from this stable, but she does have plenty to prove. |
