11st 12lb |
Five-time winning hurdler, including Grade 3, rated 149 in that sphere; latest success in Ballinrobe (2m2f, good) conditions hurdle in May; solid three runs, including second over hurdles at Limerick since; should go close on chase debut. |

11st 12lb |
149-rated hurdler, gaining fifth hurdle success at Ballinrobe in May; beaten by the unconsidered Counting Coup in a Flat maiden at Down Royal before odds-on defeat over hurdles at Limerick; didn't get into valuable amateur handicap here on Monday, potentially big player in maiden company here. |

Eight wins (four on Flat, four over hurdles); ended last season with a Curragh second behind Sirius; confidence dented by recent form over jumps. |

11st 6lb |
Grand sort has won four hurdles, including two small-field contests here last year; returned with a spin over fences in May; 2m3f is the farthest he's gone, so stamina for 3m is the concern. |

11st 12lb |
Classy hurdler 4-11 in that sphere and rated 140; ground versatile; off since decent Flat run at the Curragh in October; returns with yard in form and his half-brother Royal Hollow has won for this stable over fences; could prove hard to beat if fit. |

11st 2lb |
11yo who appeared to be outstayed when fourth, beaten about 8l, in the Grade 1 Champion Stayers Hurdle at Punchestown (extended 2m7f, yielding) in May; however, that was still a good performance in today's context and he's fit from the Flat; possible player for top Irish stable. |

Aged 11 but he's a seriously unexposed, dark horse on Flat; smart hurdles form in Grade 1s in August 2024-May 2025; three Irish maiden races are all he's contested on Flat, when runner-up twice last year (2m/1m6f) and winning by a short head this August (2m) but he's not been hit hard with this opening Flat mark and having Willie Mullins as his trainer demands respect. |

High-class performer, and acts well around here having won over hurdles and a Grade 3 chase over this trip in May; found to have burst after unseating in the Galway Plate; back on comfortable territory here and keeps many of these out of the handicap. |

Rated this high for a reason and was never headed when beating Three Card Brag in a Grade 3 at Killarney when last seen in May; however, he'll do well to repeat those tactics in this race and he was well beaten last year (held up). |

Very smart chaser when at his best but he was well beaten in this 12 months ago and last season's placed efforts were remote ones behind class acts; current wellbeing is a bit of an issue. |

Three-time winning hurdler has clearly had his issues; unseen since tailed off in a Tipperary Grade 3 in October 2024; has the rating to be a big danger but questionable whether he can run to it after such a long time away. |
