Sole win over hurdles came at Downpatrick (2m7f) last year and went close to another success when just denied over a bit shorter there last time; up 3lb but this trip might be a bit sharp. |

Won over 2m7f here last year; poor in two runs (one hurdle, one chase) this year so has to firmly put those behind him. |

Belated first win under rules in today's headgear combination in 2m7f Downpatrick handicap over a year ago (good) off 98; off for a year until well held over shorter trip over fences at Bangor last month; better for that comeback run and trip-ground to suit back hurdling. |

Not the most consistent sort but enters calculations on last month's second over 2m at this venue, when those behind included King Kali (fourth) who was returning after a lengthy absence; three seconds from his last five starts, but lesser displays in between; blinkered first time. |

Dual-purpose; sole success over hurdles came off 3lb lower at Bellewstown (2m1f, gd-yld) in April 2024 for Gavin Cromwell; yet to really hit form for this stable, though did run ok over 2m4f here in August; drops in trip and place chance if repeats that off 3lb lower. |

Didn't last long with Nicky Henderson but showed a good bit of ability; comfortably held in three runs for an Irish yard, including 2m4f/2m6f handicaps; now with Tom Lacey and if he can get him back to the form he was showing for Henderson, then a race of this nature should be within his capabilities. |
