Dual hurdle winner got off the mark over fences at Kilbeggan over 2m4f and ran a similar race in defeat in a Galway Grade 3 since; the cheekpieces worn then are replaced by blinkers; is clear of these rivals on ratings and should take beating. |

Dual hurdle winner over shorter and has already had eight chase runs; beaten 12l by Shadow Paddy on return at Limerick but went one better at Kilbeggan since; cheekpieces added and needs more. |

Two hurdle wins came on good in 2024 and he's 0-7 since switching to chasing but has been placed five times, best effort coming over this course and distance a year ago when second in competitive handicap off 133; bit disappointing as odds-on fav when beaten 12l 25 days ago but should come on for that and has an experience edge. |

10st 13lb |
Now 7lb lower than when 40-1 third in quite valuable Kelso handicap (2m5f, good to soft) in March but this season's C&D form has been underwhelming; needs to up his game. |

10st 2lb |
Belied 40-1 odds when creditable third at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft; wore cheekpieces) in March but weakened quickly after making a lot of the running over C&D (good; visored, as today) three weeks ago and is now 0-9 for stable; needs recent wind op to have made a big difference. |

11st 1lb |
Two placings this spring give him a chance but they were followed by two lesser efforts and latest was C&D when tongue tied first time since 2024; visor (used twice in 2025) returns instead of usual cheekpieces; stable runs two. |

Quirky customer won over fences at Wexford last summer; ran okay in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter but well beaten over fences at Galway since; others preferred. |

Quirky customer won over fences at Wexford last summer and is unexposed as a chaser; okay run over hurdles last time, and small chance if they've got his confidence back (didn't want to know about jumping on his last run over fences). |

One of eight for trainer; made all to win 2m4f Wexford novice chase last summer but hit and miss since, best effort when a 2.75l runner-up behind Ol Man Dingle in a Cork Grade 3 novice in November; bounced back from two poor runs in big-field handicaps when second of four runners in a Limerick Grade 3 novice last time; big fields may not be his thing. |

Made all to win 2m4f Wexford novice' last summer but has been hit and miss since, best effort when runner-up in a Cork Grade 3 novice; poor runs in very competitive Leopardstown handicaps last twice but drop in class makes her a leading player. |
