Dual chase winner has run well in defeat at this track; however, was pulled-up on his last chase run and below form over hurdles since so others preferred. |

Two wins over fences; just 1-34 over hurdles, but placed many times; touched off over 2m4f at Killarney this time last year; quiet so far this season and would prefer farther. |

12st 0lb |
Both wins of 20-race career came over fences back-to-back 18 months ago when landing competitive handicaps at Leopardstown over 2m1f; largely struggled since, pulled up on last two starts; last run over hurdles in October when beaten 16l in novice; up in trip and rated 10lb lower over hurdles; questions attached and yard perhaps holds better claims with Sean Mc. |

11st 12lb |
One of two runners for these connections; best run when winning a valuable 2m1f Leopardstown handicap chase in 2025; hasn't been as good since, with best runs coming back at that track; questions after pulled-up over C&D last time. |

Both chase wins have been in 2m1f handicaps at Leopardstown; sights are lowered here after running in stronger company at that venue during the winter. |

In good form mostly over hurdles during winter, winning at Navan and a decent effort last time; was pulled-up on last chase start in the Cork National, though, and this trip looks on the sharp side. |

Chase winner bagged his second hurdling success over C&D in December off 109 at 40-1 (2m4f, soft to heavy); decent showing at Limerick next time when seventh, but his latest Gowran run was poor (2m4f, heavy). |

Chase winner over 3m2f on good ground at Down Royal in May; Kilbeggan run six days later may have come too soon for him; should be sharper as a result of recent hurdles run at Punchestown. |

Maiden in all spheres after 34 starts, but was second at Downpatrick in June off 1lb higher (3m, good); sent off favourite up in grade at Wexford next time (2m7f, good), but was a modest third; well beaten over C&D latest; others preferred. |
