11st 1lb |
Sole success over hurdles a Fairyhouse maiden (2m, heavy) in February 2024; beaten a head off 3lb lower at the Galway Festival last August (2m1f, good); shaped like this trip might suit when remote third behind Jacovec Tavern at Punchestown (19.5f, yielding) in sole start since; could go well. |

Won over 1m6f on the Flat at the 2024 Galway festival; never landed a blow when 6-1 for the big amateur handicap at the same fixture last July; different proposition later that week, only just denied in a valuable 2m1f handicap hurdle; could be a big player if fit and ready. |

Won over 1m6f on the Flat at this meeting last year; never landed a blow when 6-1 for the Q.R. Flat race earlier this week; best form is on testing ground so rain would enhance his chance. |

10st 3lb |
Dual-purpose; 1-10 over hurdles; good effort at big odds when a 4.5l fourth of 18 in the Imperial Cup at Sandown in March; didn't back that up at Fairyhouse on latest; would have a place chance with a repeat of that Sandown run. |

Hasn't added to Galway 3yo maiden win although last month's return from winter break was encouraging, not fluent last when fourth of 18 behind Mondo Man in Imperial Cup at Sandown; runs off same mark here, rider's claim a positive. |

Irish-trained 5yo who failed to threaten on his last two hurdle starts last autumn; however, a break may have helped and he was a close third of 15 at Galway (2m1f, good) last August; his maiden hurdle win came on yielding to soft; has an each-way shout if back on song; tongue-tie is left off. |

Hurdle winner is a maiden on the Flat but has posted some fine runs; however, has been poor in both codes last two starts so needs a return to form. |

Clonmel maiden hurdle winner in April last year (2m1f, good to yielding); ran solid races in handicap hurdles over the summer without winning; made no impact on the Flat at Leopardstown when last seen in October (1m2f, heavy); probably prefers better ground than this. |

Won a mares' chase at Thurles (2m2f, good to yielding) in March; nothing in three subsequent starts over fences but ran a good race in the Galway Tribes back over hurdles in August; ultimately finished tailed off when stepped up in trip at Listowel last time (2m4f, good to yielding); drops another 1lb now. |

Hard to fancy on the evidence of his four runs over fences this year; however, he's well handicapped on last summer's hurdle form and he's from a respected Irish stable; one to watch in the betting. |

One of two for trainer; point-to-point winner added his second hurdles win at Listowel in June off 116 (2m, good); poor form shown in three recent beginners' chases but this is his first handicap chase and the fact Donoghue chooses him over Kazakh d'Arthel looks significant. |

8st 13lb |
Just five Flat races, faring easily best when he won a handicap at Bellewstown (1m3f, soft) last month; returned to hurdling for a respectable show at Punchestown festival 19 days ago; his trainer's three runners at Chester last week were all well held, albeit with two in the Chester Cup, but this one should have more to offer in this sphere and goes on the shortlist. |

Out of form this year but his run at Downpatrick in June was a positive when a 1.25l second of nine (2m2f, yielding to soft); didn't build on that at Galway last time when well beaten (2m1f, good); different headgear combination tried but needs to bounce back. |

Got back on track with a 1.25l second of 9 at Downpatrick (2m2f, yld-sft) last time out off 119; raised 1lb for that but rider's 5lb claim negates that; well beaten in this last year but claims if backing up that last run. |

Won at this meeting last year after a break and has generally held form well since, adding wins over hurdles at Listowel and on the Flat at Thurles; went close at Galway in October on last run over timber and just 2lb higher here; pleasing return on the Flat at Navan last week; interesting. |
