Has placed form at this track; won a 1m4f handicap off 75 at Fairyhouse when last sighted in June; off since and has had a gelding operation; got a 6lb hike for that last win and this drop back to 10.5f not certain to suit on the evidence of his last couple of runs. |

9st 9lb |
29-race maiden who has struggled back over hurdles in his last two runs; finished second in a classified event at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in January but was beaten 6l and that took his AW record to 0-12; down the list. |

Runner-up in basement-grade AW race in January but pulled up over C&D (good to soft) when back over hurdles last month and now 0-28 overall; stable has much more obvious chance with Captain Cool. |

Runner-up on AW last month and now has first hurdle start for current yard; however, that recent Flat form is very modest, he's achieved little in this code, and he's yet to win after 27 attempts (seven over hurdles). |

Both wins came at this trip, most recently at Down Royal in 2024 off 64 under today's rider; absent since moderate second in 2m Tramore handicap hurdle a year ago so may need this. |

First foal out of a 1m2f Group 3 winner and half-sister to the top-class Midday; down the field on debut at Dundalk but made eyecatching late headway when third here over 1m2f this month; had Get and Self Interest behind on the day and there should be more to come up in trip. |

Only 1-23, the win coming over 1m6f at Wolverhampton; did go off favourite here two weeks ago and a lack of pace after starting slowly wasn't ideal (behind Desert Friend); had previously hinted at a return to form. |
