Won a bumper and maiden hurdle over 2m for Willie Mullins in an interrupted career; form for current yard over hurdles and Flat suggests he needs to find a fair bit of improvement. |

10st 7lb |
Bumper winner; 0-12 over hurdles and rated 112; solid run on the Flat when sixth of 23 at the Curragh in November (1m4f, heavy); this trip may be on the sharp side but each-way possibilities. |

Bumper winner is 0-11 over hurdles but ran well in defeat at times in maidens; solid run on the Flat in November (1m4f, heavy) and was a close fifth at Leopardstown last time (2m4f, good to yielding); not ruled out and this ground may suit better. |

Won a Sligo handicap hurdle last August but was poor twice after; a better effort on return but is rated 111 over hurdles and has a bit to find with some of these on chase debut. |

Bolted up at Sligo on her second start for her current yard in August (2m5f, good) off 107; tailed off at Ballinrobe following that and same story at Punchestown when last seen in October; the break may have done her good but she's hard to trust. |

Sligo maiden hurdle winner in August (2m5f, good); never counted on the Flat following that and tailed off on handicap hurdle debut at Ballinrobe last time (2m6f, soft); this ground can suit better, but a bit to prove now. |

Maiden hurdle winner for Gavin Cromwell in May 2024 (good to yielding); showed nothing for new yard in four chase starts but kept on well to win a Clonmel claiming hurdle six days ago (2m1f, heavy) by 1.75l; entitled to win that day on the weightings and nice weight here as well given his rating of 113. |

First reserve; won this last year off 9lb higher and then went close at Uttoxeter in a handicap chase the following month but has completely lost form since; yard amongst winners recently but he's hard to fancy on recent showings; new headgear combo needs to spark. |

Five-time winner; both his chase wins have come at Thurles on good ground; last two runs have been respectable but looks held by Harbour Highway and Lisleigh Lad on Leopardstown running; rider Phidelma Elvin won this in 2023. |

Three-time winner over timber but no success since September 2023; beaten 7.75l off 2lb higher over C&D on her last start in this sphere in July 2024; below best last three starts in mares' chases; needs to revive on return to hurdling. |

Is 6lb lower than when gaining second win over hurdles at Tipperary in July 2024; soundly beaten off 100 when last seen at Down Royal in December; 1lb lower now and has gone well fresh, so not dismissed in first-time cheekpieces. |

Two-time German winner who is 0-11 for his current trainer and the forecast soft ground may not be ideal; however, after being denied a clear run he kept on well for seventh of 20 at Navan (1m5f, good to yielding) last month, beaten about 5l, and this Irish raider could have a big say back up in trip. |
