9st 6lb |
Was gaining a 12th win (five in claimers) on the Flat when taking Ballinrobe handicap last month in some style under today's rider; two days later folded quite tamely once headed over shorter trip at Naas, that race may have come too soon; veteran respected. |

11 time winner on the Flat; some good runs for Rebecca Menzies, highlighted by a selling handicap hurdle win last December and two placed efforts over 1m4f at Catterick in April; his stable debut 12 days ago at Limerick was okay when seventh of 12 (1m3f, good); declared to run in 7.50 Ballinrobe on Monday. |

Dual-purpose; 1-17 over hurdles and rated 117; heavy defeat on debut for this yard in Punchestown handicap hurdle 24 days ago; unproven at this trip; best watched in first chase. |

Flat winner got off the mark immediately over hurdles when winning a Navan maiden hurdle last year (2m, heavy); well beaten in a Naas novice contest next time before some consistent Flat efforts; unseen since tailed off at Naas back over hurdles on final start for Michael O'Callaghan in November; needs to bring his best. |

Maiden hurdle winner; won over this trip in a Bellewstown handicap in October 2024 off 64; cut out most of the running when fourth over 10.5f in November on second AW start; prominent over C&D last time before gradually weakening into seventh; down 3lb now. |

Veteran has done a bit of everything and recorded his eighth win when scoring over 2m on AW in March; poor run at Bellewstown last time but that was only a day after being placed at Dundalk; goes well at Ballinrobe and this track isn't dissimilar. |

Front-runner loves it here; won this last year and caught late when second over C&D in August; lack of a prep run is the concern, because his record fresh is not good. |

20th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 1f 100y |

Bagged eighth career win at Roscommon in May (1m4f, good); back down to winning mark when a neck second back at that track on his penultimate run; underwhelming at Galway most recently when well behind (1m4f, soft); three of his wins have come at this distance but he may not appreciate the ground. |

Modest on the Flat; 1-6 over hurdles, the win coming in a Kilbeggan maiden in April 2025 (15.5f, gd-yld); heavy ground not ideal the last twice; could improve for this sounder surface. |
