Four-time chase winner; scored at Wexford last summer off 85; well beaten off much lower hurdles mark at Tipperary in October; veteran returns from 227-day absence; may need the run. |

Goes well at about this trip around here, as he reminded us when getting up on the line last month; it's been a while since he was this high in the weights but has to be considered. |

All three wins over fences, including this race in 2023 and here again last summer off 83 (good-to-yielding); recent comeback run over hurdles should have him straighter and has to be respected given his record here. |

23rd Sep 2025 Good 3m 2f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
0-12 under all codes when based in Ireland and ran very poorly in a chase on last month's stable debut; reverts to hurdling with first-time visor fitted; will be suited by the trip/ground here but has more to prove than all his rivals. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |

0-12 under all codes when based in Ireland; battled on well to snatch modest third of 15 at Wexford (3m1f, good) last month and is still unexposed over fences but others have more pressing claims here; blinkers removed for this stable debut. |

Maiden's best run came when second in 3m2f Sligo handicap hurdle (good) last summer; back from 198-day absence when well held twice in recent handicap chases and needs to improve loads to feature although yard back in form so don't rule out. |

Third of five finishers in a similar race to this her last May; modest form in handicap chases last summer; has won both starts since returning to points (overall record, 4-11); in between, not disgraced when around 20l fourth behind the smart Cons Roc in a hunter chase at Fairyhouse. |

Had a below-par Defence Witness behind when a C&D third off today's mark last June, and belatedly off the mark next time out back in Ireland; can go well after a break without necessarily being able to threaten a win. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Belatedly opened account with hard-fought success at Downpatrick (2m7f, good) in July, his 17th start over fences, but was just a respectable sixth over C&D (good) last month and needs to up his game today. |

Three-time chase winner is rated 15lb lower in this sphere; won over fences at Ayr in February (3m, soft), his second win at that venue; 2lb wrong here though and all four wins on soft and heavy ground. |
14/1 |

12th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 50y |
11st 12lb |
Has a liking for Ayr with two of his three chase wins coming there, including in February (3m, soft); that win came after a moderate season; lacked the pace at an important stage at Sedgefield last time (3m3f, good); needs to do it away from Ayr. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |

3-29 over fences; very inconsistent nowadays but won readily at Ayr (3m, soft) last month and a subsequent 4lb rise is manageable if he's in the right mood again here. |

Eleven-race maiden is 0-4 in chases; his 3.25l third at Sligo (3m2f, good) won by Ballagh Star in October is a standout effort; 3lb lower now but he finished a long way behind at Wexford last time. |
