Won a maiden hurdle here in 2024; went close to adding to his tally in a Tipperary handicap chase in July last year off 3lb lower (2m1f, yielding); well beaten over hurdles at Cork on return, but has tended to improve with runs in the past. |

Won a Killarney maiden hurdle in July 2024; went close to adding to his tally in a handicap chase at Tipperary when last seen over a year ago, beaten 1.75l into second of 16; rated 9lb higher over timber so place shout if ready to rock after break. |

Point-to-point (3m) and Killarney maiden hurdle (20.5f) winner; may have needed the run on handicap chase debut when beaten 19.5l at Tramore (2m6f, gd-yld) a month ago but suspicion this trip may be on the sharp side. |

Potentially well handicapped relative to her best chase form; good form in that sphere last October when backing up a Sligo win with seconds at Tramore and Down Royal; might need the run, her first since out of her depth in a Grade 2 mares' chase at Cork last December; 13lb lower than her chase mark |

Won a novice handicap chase at Sligo (17.5f, gd-yld) early this month from 5lb out of the handicap; narrowly denied in follow up bid at Tramore (15.5f, yielding) off 3lb higher; up another 2lb and this is a deeper race but she's in form and this trip suits; go well again. |

11st 13lb |
Is 1-13 over fences with the win coming over C&D last summer off 91 (yielding to soft); hard to predict this term with some okay runs in defeat interspersed with poor efforts; his run at Galway was one of the latter when tailed off over fences but not a bad effort over hurdles here on penultimate; others preferred. |

Mixes it between chasing and hurdling; consistent last year including C&D second over fences; a little less predictable lately, but couple of good runs at Limerick and jockey booking is noted. |

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. |
