Fragile 9yo is in a good place at the moment, and this race was mentioned as the plan after his latest win at Sligo; markedly up in grade, but nice racing weight to carry. |

More highly rated over fences than hurdles, winning 2m2f Sligo novice last autumn and touched off in 2m handicaps at Tramore and Down Royal; returned from eight-month absence when never counting in 2m handicap hurdle here last month, expected to come on for that. |

On a decent run at the moment; had Ilbdere and Adaliz close behind him when winning a 3m1f handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan early this month and reverted to flights when a solid fourth in a 3m handicap at Listowel a week ago; back out quickly once again and not hard to see him involved at the death once again. |

Improved dramatically from a low base to record four wins in 2025 including 2m Tramore handicap chase in October; also good second in 2m Navan handicap chase, possibly found 3m4f stamina test too much at Punchestown latest; 4lb wrong here but could go well if she stays. |
