18th Oct 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 92y |
11st 7lb |
Placed in a pair of handicap hurdles in the spring, notably second over 2m5f at this venue in April; returned from a spell on the Flat to win at Tramore 10 days ago; task was eased by a rival's fall two out, even so a 6lb rise could prove lenient. |

Point/hurdle/chase winner; only raced five times on the Flat and kept on for a closing fourth at Down Royal last time; that was over 2m2f and this shorter trip perhaps not ideal. |

Point-to-point winner; improved for the step up in trip on handicap debut when a never-nearer third behind Aleish Lass at Limerick three weeks ago; he's 12lb better off with that rival and may well reverse the form. |

Won a beginners chase at Roscommon in good style last summer (16.5f, yielding); hasn't fired since and unseated at the first on seasonal return here in June; others make more appeal. |

Off the mark in a Clonmel handicap chase (2m7f, soft) when last seen in April; rated 7lb lower over hurdles but lacks a recent run and this trip looks too sharp; could do with some rain too. |

Maiden hurdler with uneven form; definite player judged on runner-up finishes at Limerick and Punchestown this season; the form of the latter has worked out well as the third Live To Laugh has won twice since; ran below market expectations at Limerick three weeks ago but big player if he takes to fences. |

Winning hurdler is 0-2 over fences but shaped like his turn was near here on penultimate when chasing home Rockonliam (19.5f, good); hampered and unseated at the first on latest at Galway; chance, but might prefer more of a stamina test. |

1-12 over hurdles; posted a solid effort on chase debut in a beginners' at Wexford (19.5f, good) last month, keeping on from the back for a 4.5l second of 14; not obviously well treated for handicap chase bow but not written off. |

Left his previous maiden hurdle form behind when runner-up at Fairyhouse last month (beaten roughly 1l) and the third went close at Clonmel since; handicapper has revised his mark and may need further progress to win on handicap debut but longer trip may suit. |

Soundly beaten in three Irish maiden hurdles (2m-2m4f) for Edward O'Grady in 2024 and makes stable/handicap debut after a 425-day absence; however, he's hugely unexposed and will need to be taken very seriously if strong in the betting; tongue-tie added. |
