10st 7lb |
Fair form in the first half of 2024, completely out of form in three outing this term; 3lb out of the handicap, that offset by rider's valuable 7lb claim. |

Improved for switch to handicap company over hurdles when third at Cork (3m, yielding) before scoring at Kilbeggan (3m1f, good) off 87; creditable return to chasing at Punchestown last time when sixth; winning rider back aboard and not dismissed. |

Improved for switch to handicap company last twice over hurdles, finishing third at Cork before scoring at Kilbeggan (3m, good) 43 days ago, beating Plain Or Battered by 1.25l; races off a 3lb higher chase mark here and a contender for last year's winning yard. |

11st 7lb |
C&D winner in September 2022; last success was at Listowel the following year; at the veteran stage now; returned to form when second at Clonmel in April; flopped at Sligo in May, raising a doubt. |

12th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 172y |
10st 10lb |
C&D winner; last scored in September 2023 but back to form with a 1.25l second at Clonmel on latest; raised 3lb for that but is still 10lb below his last success; C&D form figures read 41343; leading claims. |

One of two for yard; last of three wins came at Listowel in 2023; fourth on both starts for this stable at this venue over 3m but beaten 31l (on heavy) and 52l (on yielding); on a dangerous mark now, however, and cheekpieces might provide a spark. |

Reeled off a four-timer (three chases and one handicap hurdle) early last year; began 2026 with an encouraging second over C&D but soon beaten at Cork last month (3m); more needed but goes well here. |

Reeled off a four-timer (three chases and one handicap hurdle) early last year; second in two of his three hurdle starts this season; began 2026 with an encouraging second at Tramore; raised 4lb for that but still 8lb lower than his chase mark; strong chance. |

Has generally struggled since winning at Galway (22.5f, good) last September; a bit better when a plugging-on third of 16 at Tramore (2m5f, gd-yld) on latest but was 16l behind the winner; longer trip here a plus. |

Point winner who was struggling over hurdles when returning from a long absence but has fared much better in two starts in handicap chases, beaten 10l into fourth over 3m2f at Down Royal 55 days ago; drop in trip sure to suit and chance. |
