Dual hurdles winner got off the mark chasing around here at the fifth attempt back from a break on handicap debut over 3m in November (soft); pulled up after a bad mistake at Cork 19 days later but appeared to have few excuses for his 28l seventh at Navan last time (3m, soft to heavy); capable of getting involved on his best day. |

2-10 over hurdles and rated 10lb higher in that sphere; tailed off in all four starts in beginners' chases including two here; likely best watched on return from 264 days off. |

10st 5lb |
Won a handicap hurdle on first start for this yard at Punchestown in February; won a beginners' chase for Liam O'Brien in October 2024; has run well here before but well beaten last twice over timber and this looks too demanding; cheekpieces go on. |

Won Limerick beginners' chase for Liam O'Brien last season; two good runs for Declan Queally this term before breakthrough hurdles win on yard debut at Punchestown on Wednesday, getting the better of the front-running second (pair 17l clear of third-placed Ontheropes) late on over 3m1f (soft); quick return under mandatory 7lb penalty and bold follow-up bid expected. |

11st 7lb |
Winner of Tramore beginners chase (2m5f, soft); bounced back after a couple of underwhelming runs when beaten a neck off 2lb lower mark at Tramore two starts ago; probably did too much too soon at same track lto; one of the more likely contenders; stays this trip. |

11st 13lb |
Ex-Irish 6yo; built upon encouraging stable debut (over hurdles) when winning at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last month and bettered that form when clear second to an improver at Stratford (2m3f, good to firm) a few days later; can cope if there's rain about; good chance. |

Scored over fences for Shark Hanlon in August 2025 but lost his way subsequently; back to his best on his second start for his current yard when winning at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last Tuesday; shouldered with a 7lb penalty but will be suited by the step up in trip and holds claims. |

Won over fences in Ireland last August (2m3f); his respectable stable debut was over hurdles (2m) and he was keeping on at the finish; wants further ideally but one to consider under Harry Cobden. |

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. |

Maiden in all spheres after 33 starts, but was second at Downpatrick on penultimate (3m, good), 0.5l behind Fr Gilligansvoyge; sent off favourite up in grade at Wexford last time (2m7f, good), but was a modest third; in the mix on his Downpatrick run, but his record is a concern. |

On a long losing run and his fourth here when last seen in April was a remote one; blinkers now replace cheekpieces; his record when fresh suggests he'll need this run. |

Veteran produced his best effort for some time when a 9l third at Punchestown (2m7f, gd-yld) last month; career low mark now but hasn't won over fences since 2021 and this ground may be a shade soft for him. |

Tailed off after a break last month but that was over hurdles and chasing is more his game; chance on his competitive form last autumn but wants further ideally. |
