11st 2lb |
Seven career wins capped by 2m1f Listed handicap chase win at Fairyhouse last November; recent Kilbeggan runs over longer trips well below best, but yard has returned to form so could improve for this drop in trip, although yard have a more obvious contender in Gaelic Arc. |

Seven career wins but unable to make any impression behind Native Speaker at Ballinrobe or over 2m4f here last time; needs to up his game. |

11st 4lb |
Very capable performer on his day over hurdles and fences; 3-19 in this sphere; soundly beaten in Mayo National latest but this shorter trip should be more his bag and is just 3lb above last win; not discounted but lots of rain would be a worry. |

Only one win from 27 starts over hurdles, at Ballinrobe last year off 9lb higher (2m6f, good); well below his best in three runs this season, including over C&D in May. |

Locally-trained C&D winner off 3lb higher last April; probably needed the run on return from a break at Sligo latest; course form figures over timber on ground with good in description read 55142; big player. |

Won handicaps at Fairyhouse and Naas for Des McDonogh over a similar trip to this; lost his form after that latest score and has to return to best on debut for this yard. |

Won his second hurdle race when scoring at Naas in April over 2m3f but has been below that level thrice since; should improve from Navan run last time but this trip looks a bit sharp. |

Dual-purpose; 1-15 over hurdles and rated 99; not many positives to glean from two starts over fences; others preferred. |

12st 0lb |
4lb lower than for his hurdle win at Thurles but that was in late 2021 and restricted to only five runs in the meantime; one of his four chase runs reads okay but doesn't look straightforward and can be taken on. |

12th Aug 2024 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 165y |
11st 9lb |
Beat 15 rivals in a handicap hurdle at Thurles in late 2021 when 5lb lower; hasn't had much racing since then but was running well over fences when making a bad mistake on his return from an absence in April; poor last time in that same discipline but he's better than that. |

Maiden hurdle winner (soft) spent a period chasing before hurdles return 11 days ago when never sighted at Ballinrobe; entitled to come on for that but others preferred. |

Maiden hurdle winner; last three runs have been over fences and was running well when departing in the latest one at Tipperary that went to Galway Plate winner Pinkerton; now back hurdling and can win races off this mark. |
