Better chaser than hurdler with 2m4f handicap wins last season at Punchestown and Gowran (soft); below best this term over both hurdles and fences, mildly more encouraging run in first-time cheekpieces at Gowran last time; headgear retained for return to fences but others preferred at this trip. |

Belatedly off the mark last month in 3m1f Roscommon handicap chase (good) in first-time tongue-tie, her first attempt at the trip; has to be of interest back hurdling at the same distance, though tongue-tie left off today. |

Three-time hurdles winner in 2023, showing a liking for a test of stamina in testing conditions; now 3kb below his last winning mark; Bbest run for Sam Curling last season was over fences; may find the ground too lively; first outing for this stable. |

Heavy-ground specialist; in fine form last season over hurdles with four wins in handicaps at 2m4f-3m1f; has blotted her copybook in recent months with an unseat and two refusals, the most recent three in a Grade 3 mares hurdle at Punchestown. |

Heavy-ground specialist in fine form last season over hurdles with four wins in handicaps at 2m4f-3m1f; looked likely to take advantage of 35lb lower chase mark at Tramore when last seen but refused to jump the last; tough task on these terms but market will be the best guide; blinkered. |
