Form & Verdict
Landed a gamble over hurdles at Kilbeggan (2m3f, good to yielding) in April following a 458-day absence and ran well when third off 14lb higher mark there last month; showed little in three runs over fences in 2024 for previous trainer but may be a different proposition these days; market watch advised.

In excellent form since return from long layoff; won over hurdles at Kilbeggan in April; added a Cartmel handicap chase (17.5f, good) last month; this is tougher, however, so will need a career best to follow up.

Subject of a gamble here last time (2-1 fav') when gaining first win back from a 458-day absence on second start (2m3f, good to yielding) for this stable; up 14lb but it was an easy win so he might be up to going in again.

Form & Verdict
Irish raider who didn't fare too well in four attempts over fences previously, but got off the mark over hurdles at Kilbeggan (2m3f, good to yielding) last month at the 28th attempt under rules; not an obvious candidate to follow up, over fences.

Won over C&D in May off 87 (good to yielding); bounced back from a poor Killarney run back here over 2m last time when denied by a neck (2m, good); up 3lb more now but the claimer negates that and he likes it around here.

Five-time course winner, most recently in April (2m, good); only fifth of eight over C&D (good to firm) 17 days ago but beaten under 8l, and recent 3lb drop means he's now 3lb below that last winning mark; no surprise if he's in the shake-up.

First ever drop to 2m looks worth a try, having not lasted home in two 3m hunter chases latterly (one here); risks attached, however, having run out twice in points (ahead when exited at the last over 2m4f in March), and may have competition if intent on front-running again.
