Fair hurdles form in 2022; has done most of his racing on the Flat in recent years; second at Clonmel last September has been the only bright spot in that sphere since a 2024 Chester win; found his level when winning in this category at Wexford 13 days ago; should be the mix again. |

Best hurdles form was in 2022, and he has done most of his racing on the Flat in recent years; second at Clonmel last September has been the only bright spot since a 2024 Chester win; no merit in his recent Navan run; may struggle to run up to an official rating of 117. |

Low-rated Flat maiden with minor placed form over hurdles; lacks a recent run and is not well suited by the race conditions; others much preferred. |

Dual-purpose maiden has shown ability over hurdles but hasn't really been threatening in recent starts; however, he drops into 0-100 company for the first time so a big run would not surprise. |

Two of her three wins over hurdles have come at Tramore; a long way below her best in a similar race to this at that course in April; hard to fancy following remote seventh behind Rich Belief at Wexford. |

Two of her three wins over hurdles have come at Tramore; however, she was a long way below her best in a similar race to this at that course last month; that run was prefaced by weak form at Dundalk during the winter. |

Decent form near the end of the season before last, winning a maiden hurdle at Clonmel and placed in a handicap at the Punchestown festival; fair form in handicaps last summer; subsequent form raises doubts. |

Three-time hurdles winner, including on both Sligo visits; has been chasing and went close at Tramore on his penultimate start; strong contender here on the form that brought handicap wins over C&D and at Galway in the first half of last season; rider's 7lb claim an asset. |

Hasn't built on the promise he showed in bumpers in early 2022; no improvement in handicaps but it was a step back in the right direction at Galway 19 days ago when beaten 8l on his yard debut; might have finished closer without a mistake at the last and entitled to come on for that first run of the campaign; could go well. |
