Hold up sort; 3-21 over hurdles; latest win at Gowran in November over 2m4f off 88; won over this C&D off 81 earlier that month; okay efforts the last thrice but may be in handicapper's grip for now. |

Flat winner is 0-26 over hurdles; off since heavy defeat in handicap chase at Thurles in October; has run well here on the Flat in the past but overall record fresh suggests he might need this after 194 days off. |

Inconsistent this year; fine run when third at this venue in April; pulled up at Kilbeggan, then beaten a head at Limerick before pulling up at Bellewstown; never in the hunt over C&D on latest. |

Maiden was third at Ballinrobe over 2m5f before pulled-up over 3m at Kilbeggan when raced too keenly; bounced back to be just denied over 2m3f at Limerick last time; up 3lb but a big player if repeating that. |

12st 0lb |
Has been running over fences, exploiting an initially favourable mark (84); handed an 11lb rise for Killarney win in August, when he beat subsequent Listowel winner Pride Of Place; faded after a mistake at the last at Listowel; won again at Galway, scoring by 5l to earn promotion to 104; sound prospects now off just 5lb higher than winning 2m5f event here 12 months ago. |

Hit by an 11lb rise for Killarney win in August, when he beat subsequent Listowel winner Pride Of Place; faded into after a mistake at the last at Listowel, not beaten far in fifth, so should not be ruled out. |

Lost her maiden tag over timber at Downpatrick in July; tailed off in two beginners' either side of that run and this mark demands more but may do better now handicapping; suspicion she wants quicker ground though. |

Standout effort a 4.75l second of 20 at Punchestown last October off 80 (2m4f, good to yielding); pulled up on return at Down Royal but much-improved fourth of 21 at Cork (24.5f, good) this month when making good headway from rear; shortlisted. |

Took a big step forward off reduced mark in first-time cheekpieces at Punchestown in October when second to a clear winner (2m4f, good to yielding); respectable enough effort on soft ground at Tramore last time when fifth (2m5f); trainer in better form now, so not discounted. |
