11st 7lb |
Returns to chasing here after failing to exploit his lower hurdles mark in handicaps at Punchestown and Fairyhouse, warm favourite on the second occasion; winner and twice runner-up in a three-race campaign over fences last season; trip-versatile, but probably best over further than this. |

Useful handicap chaser, beaten a neck off a mark of 130 here last April; returned last month off 21lb lower hurdles mark when staying on late to chase home ready winner Lough Nigara over 2m6f at Punchestown on soft-to-heavy; 6lb better off with that rival here. |

11st 0lb |
In top form this season; won a Fairyhouse handicap hurdle off 108 before following up in a Listed handicap chase there next time (3m6f, yielding to soft); looked in command when leader departed at final flight in Thyestes before being nabbed by Now Is The Hour (3m1f, heavy); holds a chase mark now of 136 so obvious chance off this hurdles rating. |

Runner-up in two handicap chases at around 3m in the spring of 2024; below that level over fences in three chase starts last season; exploited a 14lb lower hurdle mark to win over 3m at Fairyhouse on seasonal debut; made sustained headway from well off the pace to touch off Will Do in the Porterstown at the same venue; 9lb higher, still on a handy weight. |

Maiden went close to landing breakthrough win at Leopardstown (3m1f, yielding) in December but hasn't backed that up, most recently never counting when modest enough fourth at Fairyhouse; remains opposable. |

Maiden went close to landing breakthrough win at Leopardstown (24.5f, yielding) in December off 3lb lower; unseated over 2m in a beginners' here, then finished a modest fourth over 3m6f at Cheltenham; 6lb lower here but needs to find extra to shed the maiden tag. |

Maiden; 0-8 in chases; runner-up in the Dublin National over 3m4f at Leopardstown last March and over 3m at the same track in December, both on yielding ground; 2m in cheekpieces did not work out last time; right back up in trip today but needs a big career best. |

Very useful chaser at his peak (last win was in 2021); not the force he was, but handicapped accordingly; fair fourth at Ffos Las in October (3m1f, soft; cheekpieces on for first time); not so good since (pulled up in Welsh National last time); blinkers now tried. |

Very useful in his prime and has conditions to suit here but returned from long absence with three disappointing runs (albeit in good-quality races) towards end of last season; eased in grade and sports first-time cheekpieces for this reappearance run; revival needed. |
