A heavy ground chase winner last winter ran one of his best hurdle races at this track in 2024; not a bad run in a claimer last time and could go well. |

Long-standing maiden over hurdles but numerous placings, including good second in 2m3f Punchestown lady riders' contest last month; has his chance again, encouraging jockey booking. |

Point-to-point winner; a staying-on third at Navan last September (2m3f, yielding) was her best run for Matt Daly; failed to build on that on her last two starts before a break; down the field at Clonmel last month; an intriguing amateur-ridden Closutton runner now. |

Point-to-point winner; her staying-on third at Navan last September (2m3f, yielding) was encouraging; failed to build on that on her last two starts before a break; needs to find extra now. |

Won a 3m4f handicap chase at Leopardstown in March of last year (yielding); this season hasn't gone so well but it wasn't too bad a run on his return to fences at Downpatrick last time (3m4f; yielding to soft) and unwise to put a line through him. |

Maiden in all spheres after 34 starts, but was second at Downpatrick in June off 1lb higher (3m, good); sent off favourite up in grade at Wexford next time (2m7f, good), but was a modest third; well beaten over C&D latest; others preferred. |

Standout effort a 4.75l second of 20 at Punchestown last October off 80 (2m4f, good to yielding); pulled up on return at Down Royal but much-improved fourth of 21 at Cork (24.5f, good) this month when making good headway from rear; shortlisted. |

Standout effort a 4.75l second of 20 off this mark at Punchestown last October (2m4f, gd-yld); pulled up on return from a 138-day break at Down Royal latest (3m, good); may have needed that and not discounted. |

Took a big step forward off reduced mark in first-time cheekpieces at Punchestown in October when second to a clear winner (2m4f, good to yielding); respectable enough effort on soft ground at Tramore last time when fifth (2m5f); trainer in better form now, so not discounted. |

21-race maiden has generally middling form but strung two good performances together towards the backend of last year when a 1l third here (2m4f, yielding) and a 3l third at Fairyhouse (2m4f, yielding); well beaten in four starts this year but perhaps return to this track can bring out her best; previously worn tongue-tie now left off. |
