Hunter chase winner 12 months ago but fairly slim pickings since then and cheekpieces now go on. |

Hunter chase winner at Tipperary last year has been soundly beaten over hurdles and fences lately and has lots to find in this company. |

Winner of a novice hunter chase at Tipperary last spring (23.5f, good to yielding) on yard debut; 0-6 over hurdles for Noel Meade prior to that; midfield in Clonmel handicap chase two weeks ago (23.5f); others preferred. |

12st 0lb |
Point winner was just denied by stablemate Asphalt Cowboy in this race last year when favourite; won a maiden hunter chase here over 3m in March but couldn't cope with the rise in class at Punchestown since; this is easier and stable selected. |

Twice runner-up in hunter chases last season; beaten favourite both times; beat a subsequent winner handily in a maiden point in February; had little trouble justifying favouritism in a maiden hunter chase at Downpatrick; smart long-term prospect, this may come a year too soon. |

Twice runner-up in hunter chases last season; beaten favourite both times; solid form behind his useful stablemate Asphalt Cowboy in this race 12 months ago before a less inspiring effort at Tipperary; beat a subsequent winner handily in a maiden point at Punchestown early last month; this looks like a suitable opportunity. |

11st 7lb |
Shaped well at Tipperary last May in his first hunter chase; failed to match that form in races at Limerick and Thurles during the winter; form of his point-to-point wins does not amount to much; however, he is sure to know his job coming from this source. |

29th Jan 2026 Soft To Heavy 3m 0f 184y |
12st 0lb |
Decent pedigree and represents top connections; second in a point last March; made the running before weakening to finish well-beaten third in a novice hunter chase on rules debut at Tipperary last May; Limerick run at Christmas was too bad to be true, unplaced favourite for the race in which Nibbles was third; seems risky but could feature. |

Homebred out of the useful Nadiya De La Vega who has produced two winners, including Norwigi for this stable; in the frame in three outings in points since January; just missed cut for last week's Ladies' Cup when Derek O'Connor was lined up for the ride; hooded; stable selected. |

Point-to-point winner got off the mark under rules last month in 2m7f Limerick handicap chase despite hanging left late on; 6lb rise probably workable although different ground conditions now. |

Point-to-point winner remains a maiden under rules but best run yet on latest when chasing home 3.75l winner Rideau Canal in 2m6f Thurles amateur handicap chase last month (soft-to-heavy); 9lb better off with that rival here with talented rider's claim taken into account. |

Consecutive unseats in maiden hunter chases but got round to finish third in Thurles handicap (21.5f, soft) last month, albeit 15l behind the winner; given a forceful ride when fourth at Wexford (19.5f, soft) 12 days later; each-way claims. |

Came good at fourth attempt when taking Kildorrery maiden in March under a positive ride (second and third have won since); failed to make much impact at Cork in his first hunters' chase; probably capable of better. |
