11st 5lb |
Useful hurdler, latest win came off 124 in handicap at Downpatrick in June; nothing of real note in five chase starts since, well beaten over 3m at Down Royal 195 days ago; needs a lot more after break, but hasn't been out of the first three in as many starts here. |

129 rated hurdler has not pulled up any trees in a trio of beginners' chases at 2m1f-2m2f on decent ground; needs to jump better and stamina to prove upped markedly in trip for handicap chase debut. |

11st 12lb |
Won consecutive handicap hurdles in 2024; hit and miss since and one of his best efforts was runner-up at Downpatrick in June; below that twice since and needs a repeat. |

11st 12lb |
Out of form this year but his run at Downpatrick in June was a positive when a 1.25l second of nine (2m2f, yielding to soft); didn't build on that at Galway last time when well beaten (2m1f, good); different headgear combination tried but needs to bounce back. |

Got back on track with a 1.25l second of 9 at Downpatrick (2m2f, yld-sft) last time out off 119; raised 1lb for that but rider's 5lb claim negates that; well beaten in this last year but claims if backing up that last run. |

11st 3lb |
Admirably consistent handicapper who didn't run too badly when midfield in the County Hurdle last month; however, this is a step up the ladder for him and regular rider Jack Kennedy evidently prefers the chances of The Yellow Clay. |

11st 11lb |
Big improver in recent months, winning strong 2m Leopardstown handicaps at the Christmas meeting (yielding) and at the Dublin Racing Festival (heavy); will need to improve again to complete a hat-trick of big-field successes but that can't be ruled out in his current mood. |

Steady improver put up his best effort when winning over C&D last time; is 8lb higher in a tougher race so will have to progress again, but is possible he could do so. |

Prolific winner under both codes, last two hurdle wins were in claimers at Roscommon and Sligo last summer; fourth to Ahead Of The Posse when attempting repeat Roscommon win on latest but enjoys a big turn around in the weights with that rival here so has to be considered a major player. |

Comfortable winner of this race 12 months ago (on good ground) and ran okay in a handicap 22 days ago when returning from a lengthy break; likely to go well. |

Ran well over hurdles in July but well behind last time at Navan, that after a pull-up over fences; only 4-41 overall and opposable in a race of this nature. |

20th Sep 2025 Yielding 1m 7f 165y |

Two disappointing runs over fences since placed in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan in July; probably vulnerable to younger and less exposed rivals. |

Not at his best since second to the high-class Saint Roi at Galway last season; was promoted to 133 as a result of that display; now 15lb lower, showed signs of a return to form when third over hurdles at Kilbeggan last month; slightly disappointing at Galway this year but is dropped in grade now and is a course winner. |

11st 9lb |
Ex-Henry de Bromhead; won a Warwick handicap hurdle on second start for Adrian Keatley in March (2m, good to soft; cheekpieces tried and retained) but pulled up on soft ground at Ayr last time; had four runs over fences in Ireland, best two runs when fourth in a couple of 2m3f handicaps at Wexford in August (good); interesting. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Maiden winner in Ireland and later placed in handicaps over fences; only his second run for this yard when dropped back to 2m in this new headgear combination at Warwick (good to soft) and he made pretty much every yard; it will be tougher dominating this stronger field on this more galloping track, and he's 6lb higher. |

Maiden winner in Ireland and later placed in handicaps over fences; strong in the betting on last month's stable debut (2m4f; back hurdling) and weakened after getting taken on a good way out; new headgear combination tried and he's of interest. |

Won a bumper at this venue and only narrowly denied a third success over timber at Ballinrobe two runs ago; subsequent Flat run worth ignoring and he's feasibly treated; versatile with regards to conditions. |

Dual Flat winner gained both of his hurdle wins consecutively on better ground at this track last season, including in this race; just 3lb above winning mark and his seasonal return here (2m1f, good to yielding) when an 11l third was encouraging. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 110y |
11st 10lb |
Won this race last year and followed up in May; course form is an important asset, so worth considering despite having finished out of the money on his final two starts in 2025; 10lb higher now than when winning snugly 12 months ago on similar ground. |

Won twice at Kilbeggan earlier this year and raised a cumulative 13lb; got 1lb back after a midfield finish at Fairyhouse 16 days ago and may have needed that run; not discounted. |
