11st 6lb |
Has been mostly chasing in the last year, winning a Kilbeggan beginners' over 2m5f; mightn't have lasted 3m2f last time and this trip back off a lower hurdles mark can suit; chance. |

Beginners' chase winner last year for Declan Queally but hasn't been as good since for different yards; has to return to best on second start for this stable; better ground a help. |

A win apiece over hurdles and fences, both at Kilbeggan on good ground; soundly beaten since his last win in August; this better ground will suit her but others make more appeal. |

A winner of a Cork handicap hurdle in May (2m4f, good); okay fourth when switched to chasing on his final start for Gavin Cromwell; now tries the Flat for the first time on stable debut but his jump form doesn't give much encouragement. |

Killarney beginners' chase winner (23.5f, yielding); 100-30 favourite on handicap chase debut at Down Royal in November (3m, gd-yld) and was under pressure but in contention when falling two out (Battle Of Mirbat won); off since and returns with yard in hot form; ground versatile and could go well. |

Back-to-back wins over similar trips to this last September and on good or yielding ground that he's not had in his last four races; however, current wellbeing is an issue and so too the blinkers in which he was tailed off last time when first fitted. |
