Hurdle winner was 12l behind Irish Panther on chasing debut at Naas; has been hit and miss since but both his wins in that time have been over C&D so his course form can help him back here; has to rebound from a bad mistake at Fairyhouse last time. |

11st 10lb |
Point and maiden hurdle winner; promising chase debut before clear-cut win in a Punchestown rated novice contest in December (2m, heavy), travelling and jumping well; made a mistake three out and dropped in 2m3f Grade 3 event won by Kappa Jy Pyke; got his season back on track with a 2m win at Punchestown; live chance for trainer who this in 2024. |

11st 5lb |
Brother to bumper winner Spider Pig, closely related to 2m3f-3m hurdler/chaser Oscar Robertson; dam unraced sister to useful 2m3f-3m2f hurdler/chaser Ellerslie George; won sole point-to-point and won at second time of asking over hurdles in Cork maidens last term when making virtually all (yielding-to-soft) in January; plenty of potential but lacks a recent run and owner has a stronger candidate in Waterford Whispers. |

A maiden under both codes and now exposed over hurdles, being 0-14; however, he's finished runner-up on seven occasions and, although below his useful best in 2026, he has the strongest form claims in this weak a maiden. |

Flat maiden has run well in defeat lots of times over hurdles (13 starts) including at Limerick last time; ground-versatile and has the highest published rating in the field so should be bang there again. |

Second in seven of his 12 races over hurdles, including when beaten 16l by subsequent Grade 1 winner Zeus Power at Thurles last December; had a Flat run last month; overdue for a win and looks the part here despite his concerning profile. |

Creditable return from over a year off at Cork (2m3f, good) when a 9l fourth of 15, hampered and made a mistake late on; in the mix if backing it up. |

Modest point form, but ran well in opening maiden hurdle here last year when third (2m1f, yielding to soft); couldn't get near that level in three subsequent runs; returns from over a year absence and best watched for handicap bow. |

Won back-to-back handicaps at Cork (2m1f, good) and Tipperary (2m, good to yielding) in August/October; hasn't hit the same heights in three runs since, beaten 16.5l at this track last time (2m1f, good to yielding); unplaced in three points so this switch to chasing may not bring the required improvement. |

Won back-to-back handicaps at Cork (2m1f, good) and Tipperary (2m, good to yielding) in August/October; tailed off in a Punchestown novice handicap next time (2m1f, soft to heavy); not too bad at Cork last month when eighth of 19 (2m3f, yielding); could build on that and this ground is what he wants. |

From a leading stable but needs to produce dramatic improvement from three maiden runs during the winter; dam point winner, closely related to Grand National winner One For Arthur, so may need further than this. |
