Fair placed form in points last season, though not progressive; hinted at winning potential with a staying-on sixth behind today's rival Sallap at Limerick early last month; came good in emphatic style when running out an 8l winner from Smackwater Jack (second reserve) at Ballinrobe two weeks ago; raised 11lb, may remain competitive. |

Three hurdle wins in Ireland during 2023 but a close second over fences at Catterick (about 1m7f, good) in January came from out of the blue and hasn't been repeated since; returns to hurdles with a cloud hanging over him. |

Seemingly back in good form when close second to short-odds favourite at Catterick (1m7f, good) on New Year's Day, his third start for Joanne Foster, but pulled up there twice since and now has it all to prove again; tongue-tie (worn on penultimate start) refitted. |

10st 11lb |
Two-time chase winner, winless since November 2023; had been running poorly but ran better when beaten 10l into fourth at Limerick 16 days ago in first-time cheekpieces having been hampered two out; they're left on now and he's on a nice mark if he can build on that. |

Dual-purpose sort is 1-10 on Flat turf; won on the AW at Dundalk (1m4f) off 3lb lower in January and ran well at that venue following that; well beaten back on turf at Gowran 11 days ago (1m4f, yielding); suspicion he's not as effective on this surface. |

Just 1-24 over hurdles when based in Ireland and was pulled up (albeit on slow ground) on chasing debut in February; ran well to a point when back over hurdles for new stable ten days ago (first-time cheekpieces) but was well held in the end; others look safer. |

Had modest 2-44 strike-rate under rules when based in Ireland and was pulled up in a chase on latest outing five weeks ago; not an easy one to weigh up but might have been perked up by recent stable switch; wears first-time cheekpieces; well worth a glance in the market. |

Three-time chase winner is 2-24 over timber, including a win here on heavy over 2m4f; rated 22lb higher over fences but has been out of sorts since winning a handicap chase at Kilbeggan in June; first time cheekpieces and tongue tie combination needs to spark a revival. |

Hurdling debutant; classy on the Flat; finished second in the Group 1 Goodwood Cup in 2021 and rated 112 at his peak; failed to beat a rival in a Dundalk claimer on debut for this yard after 648-days off last month; probably best watched with the cheekpieces worn last time left off. |

Runner-up in the Group 1 Goodwood Cup in his pomp and some respectable efforts at Meydan in early 2023 when last seen; however, there has to be some serious doubts about what ability remains after recent sale for just 3,000gns; off 648 days. |
