17th Aug 2025 Good 2m 6f 0y |
10st 13lb |
Won two staying handicap chases on good ground in the first half of last season; ordinary form in recent months; addition of blinkerss failed to do the trick at Kilbeggan eight days ago; joint-favourite then, faded after making a lot of the running. |

Won two chases last year, including over C&D, but has failed to fire in three starts this year; drops in grade now, rider claims a handy 5lb and blinkers go on; could revive. |

Won two handicap chases at about 3m during the second half of last year (including beating Hascoeur Clermont off 107 at Cork) but needs to improve a fair bit on both runs this term, fading quite tamely at Roscommon last time. |

10st 8lb |
Two-time chase winner hasn't got his head in front since November 2023; hasn't looked like ending the dry spell in two starts for this stable; beaten 54l at Killarney latest; cheekpieces tried. |

Four wins, split evenly between chasing and hurdles; losing run stretches back to November 2023 and debut for this yard was forgettable, as were his final runs for previous one. |

Four wins, split evenly between chasing and hurdles; however, losing run stretches back to November 2023; no sign of a return to the winners' enclosure in 2025 runs; makes stable debut and 1lb wrong. |

12st 0lb |
3-24 over hurdles and 1-8 as a chaser; left Gavin Cromwell after finishing tailed off in a claiming hurdle in early March (tried blinkers); needs a revival and he's got a lot of weight. |

Three-time hurdles winner; last win in that sphere came in a C&D handicap in February 2024 (2m7f, soft); won a Fairyhouse novice chase in January last year (2m6f, soft); poor over fences this term but some okay efforts over timber; beaten 20l in fourth at Fairyhouse last time (3m, yielding); blinkers replace the cheekpieces and decent chance at this level. |

10st 0lb |
Not a great strike rate but on song on latest when readily landing 3m1f Fairyhouse handicap last month in first-time blinkers; raised 12lb for that but still 12lb out of handicap here so plenty on his plate. |

Promise here on seasonal reappearance; failed to build on that on next four starts but signs of a revival when staying on for a 9.5l fourth back here (3m, heavy) on latest; blinkers could eke out more but he's 7lb wrong and looks up against it. |

Veteran gained his second win over fences, and fifth in all, in 2m4f handicap at Down Royal's Christmas meeting and most recently finished a good third in 3m4f Ulster National at Downpatrick; previous two runs over this course have been poor (pulled up in this last year). |

Dual hurdles winner added his second chasing win at Down Royal on St Stephen's Day when taking advantage of lower mark (2m4f, good to yielding); ran well in a Fairyhouse handicap hurdle prior to his win, but his most recent run here over hurdles was underwhelming when he went clear with one other and both weakened. |

Beat Hascoeur Clermont by 5l over 3m1f on good at Roscommon in June on debut for Paul Flynn and only 4lb higher than that day should he rediscover some spark in the new cheekpieces (was behind Bella Bliss the last time). |

Good second at Cartmel (2m5f, good) on latest chase start in June and placed in big-field handicap hurdles on next two outings; below form when tried in cheekpieces (now removed) for latest hurdling start but has a significant role to play if all goes to plan here. |

Wide margin winner over fences at Tipperary in July 2024 and won over timber here in the interim; likely needed his return at Wexford and while he was beaten a long way out, he won second time out when returned to chasing last term; 2m1f is the main concern for this veteran. |

Irish raider; 0-10 over fences and has same strike-rate over hurdles; not favoured by the weights when well-beaten last of three in recent Killarney beginners' chase and has better chance in this handicap but his record over the last year or so is not compelling. |
