Bagged his second hurdles win at Kilbeggan last year off 93 (2m3f, yielding); made satisfactory return to action back at Kilbeggan in June when a distant third (2m4f, good) but never involved there the following month (2m3f, good to yielding); capable on his best day. |

One of three for trainer; off the mark when winning this race last year (good); nearly made it back-to-back C&D victories when beaten a neck on seasonal return in May (good, 11-1); up 2lb but he should come on for that run and O'Keeffe now rides for the first time. |

Belatedly off the mark last month in 3m1f Roscommon handicap chase (good) in first-time tongue-tie, her first attempt at the trip; has to be of interest back hurdling at the same distance, though tongue-tie left off today. |

Won a Punchestown handicap hurdle in May (3m, good) off 84 and placed twice since then; made a positive chase debut at Wexford (2m4f, yielding) in April when third off this mark, but pulled up at Tramore next time after making a bad mistake; could go well. |

Veteran finally made the breakthrough in 2m1 Bellewstown handicap in April and duly followed up at Down Royal early this month off 5lb higher under today's rider, produced late for cosy success; hit with another 8lb rise but in the form of his life and ground remains in his favour. |

Ex-Irish gelding who's looked high enough in the weights since returned to hurdles for his current yard; well held off a 3lb higher mark at Sedgefield last time and needs to improve on that, albeit he's been found a weak-looking race. |
