Ballinrobe maiden win last summer sandwiched by two hurdle sucesses, all on good ground; form this spring below-best under both codes however and others hold stronger claims. |

Grade 2 juvenile hurdle winner last year but has disappointed over hurdles and on the Flat since; pulled-up over 2m4f here last time but can do better back to 2m. |

9st 4lb |
Won the first of seven Flat races for Richard Hannon, last seen in this sphere when among the backmarkers in the 1m Britannia here (33-1; sole start on good to firm) 12 months ago; very hit and miss in his four hurdle races for the champion jumps trainer, albeit in top races when he failed to fire; connections are enough to earn him respect but Ethical Diamond is presumably their principal hope. |

Added a third Flat win at Navan last time (1m5f, good) in a big field by a neck; had Trubshaw 5.5l behind that day; up 5lb but should remain competitive; has never raced at this track. |

C&D (yielding) winner in October 2024 off 11lb lower; won again over 1m4f at Roscommon (good) last August and added a Wexford maiden hurdle (good) 10 days later; out of sorts in four runs in both codes since then and ground probably not ideal here. |

Won on handicap debut here (2m, heavy) in November; won again off his revised mark of 120 here in January (2m5f, sft-hvy); drop back to 2m didn't suit at Fairyhouse latest; better expected over this longer trip; chance. |

Ten-race maiden over hurdles; runner up in five of his last six starts, including in handicaps here at 2m3f and 2m5f; beaten 9.5l in maidens the last twice at Navan and Clonmel; place shout returned to handicap company. |

Nine-race maiden over hurdles, runner-up four times, including the last three times; latest when 9.5l behind Hens Tooth at Navan over 2m6f when trip may have stretched him; runner-up in handicap off 118 prior to that so he sets a decent standard back down in trip. |

Maiden has been knocking on the door of late around this trip in handicap hurdles, most recently when taking the runner-up spot at Punchestown (2m5f, soft to heavy) despite hanging right throughout; has been the beaten favourite in his last three starts, but should be thereabouts back in maiden company. |

0-14 on the Flat and 0-6 over hurdles when based in Ireland but was close third in 13-runner Cork handicap hurdle (2m4f, good) in May and will be hard to beat if somewhere near that form here; recently changed hands for 20,000euros; drops back in trip for stable debut. |
