Had struggled for form before winning his second start over fences quite convincingly over 2m3f at Wexford three weeks ago; likes good ground or a slight ease and only 5lb higher; on the shortlist. |

1-9 over fences; hasn't really fired in 2026 and failed to exploit lower hurdles mark at Galway on latest when 28-1; needs to rediscover best. |

Both wins have been at around 2m5f, including Kilbeggan beginners' chase last year; just okay run on latest in Wexford handicap hurdle over this trip in May; stamina remains a possible issue. |

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. |

11st 2lb |
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. |

Respectable form in maiden hurdles; fell when favourite on handicap debut at Fairyhouse; beaten 40l next time at Clonmel; raced keenly when third at Bellewstown; winning favourite at Cork last week; trip and ground should suit for this switch to chasing. |

Hurdle winner has taken well to chasing, winning two of her five starts; won a Killarney beginners' last October and a Limerick handicap on return, both over approx' 3m; fell at Down Royal in between; up 4lb but should go well again. |

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. |

Best of three chase runs was the first at Kilbeggan last year, when sixth of 13; beaten 24l at Clonmel in October off 1lb higher on handicap chase debut; two starts over hurdles since not too encouraging. |

Won second race over hurdles when landing a handicap at Listowel (2m2f, gd-yld) in September; below best twice since, in a handicap chase at Clonmel and a handicap hurdle on heavy at Limerick in December; off since and record fresh suggests he might need this run. |

Won three races last year, including handicap chases at Tipperary (2m7f, yielding) and Market Rasen (3m, good); is 6lb higher than for that latter win; shaped nicely on return from a break over hurdles at Wexford 23 days ago but soft ground would be a big concern for her. |

11st 10lb |
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. |

Off the mark at the eighth attempt over fences over this C&D 17 days ago, beating Lady Doyanne by 2.25l; 6lb higher now but some of that is negated by his rider's claim; should be on the premises again. |
