Flat winner is 0-11 hurdling but runner-up no less than five times (all at 2m), including seasonal return at Punchestown in June; Roscommon run since was below par but overall profile gives him claims. |

His sole Flat win came at this track in 2024 and is now rated 71 in that sphere; lots of good efforts in 10 maiden hurdle runs including on comeback at Punchestown last time; penalised 8lb makes it difficult for him but should run well. |

Has made the frame in four of his last six starts but now on a two-year losing sequence; beaten around 8l in fourth at Roscommon; allowance should be made for interference suffered under two furlongs down. |

Three-time AW winner and last of two turf wins came in Roscommon handicap nearly two years ago (off 61); AW form over the winter wasn't bad so can't be ruled out. |

Decent bumper form and improved a bit on hurdles debut after lay-off to be beaten 1l into third by Figero at Kilbeggan 22 days ago for new stable, running on well; form of that can be questioned but he should step forward for that. |

Improving mare seeking to complete a hat-trick, following a Killarney success when overcoming 7lb rise in 1m1f contest here a fortnight ago, having to wait for an opening and getting first run on runner-up when holding on by a head (pair clear); another 8lb rise to overcome but thriving. |

Showed progression in handicap hurdles late last year, finishing the year off with a 2l second at Limerick off 87 (2m, heavy); Flat return at Roscommon was not encouraging but may do better back over hurdles, although may prefer softer; new headgear tried. |

Progressive for new stable since the autumn, collecting four wins (2m-2m1f, good-heavy) along the way; below form when tried over 2m5f last week (no headgear) but was fourth in last month's Summer Hurdle at Market Rasen (2m, good; first-time cheekpieces; refitted today) and is now 2lb lower. |

Interesting he was still staying on into fourth (about 23l ahead of Letterston Lily) at the end of a generously run Summer Hurdle last time, though remains untried beyond a sharp 2m4f; 7lb higher mark than for June's easy 2m1f win here leaves him with almost nothing in hand. |

Comes here on the back of two good runs, getting up late for second behind a clear-cut winner at Roscommon and again very strong at the finish when second at Ballinrobe, having had to come wide; big run likely, especially if she can lie a bit handier. |

Winless from nine but her best effort came in a maiden hurdle here last August when a 3l third (2m, good to yielding); quiet since, including when beaten 17l on handicap debut at Listowel (2m, yielding); needs more but maybe this track can bring it out of her. |
