Won a handicap hurdle over a furlong further here last month, with Le Diablo back in third; last week's Cork run looked too bad to be true. |

Returned from Flat to get off the mark last month when well-supported in 2m2f Ballinrobe handicap hurdle, keen and taking wide course but seeing it out well from the last (Le Diablo third); 8lb rise but 5yo could still have more improvement in him. |

Ended last Flat season with a respectable fifth on handicap debut in a 25-runner 1m2f Curragh race on heavy ground; fit from hurdling before beginning new Flat campaign with an encouraging fifth at Leopardstown; not as good at that venue last time, but may improve on previous hurdling form. |

Won a Ballinrobe maiden hurdle by 16l last summer (2m3f, good); put some underwhelming efforts behind her back at the scene of her win last time when a 3.75l runner-up (2m2f, good); can be hit or miss and up 2lb. |

Won a 2m1f Clonmel handicap in April off 91 back from a break; kept busy since; second over 2m1f at Wexford in July and fair third over 2m2f at Ballinrobe next time; bounced back from a poor Cork effort when a 5.25l seventh of 14 at Ballinrobe last time; could play a role. |

Off the track two years and progressed from Listowel reappearance to make late headway into fourth at Ballinrobe (2m1f, good) last month; unseated at first 15 days ago; chance if building on that Ballinrobe effort. |

Won off 8lb lower at Cork in April (2m, yielding); back to form with solid 2.25l fourth of 14 here over 16.5f (good) on latest; has weakened late on both previous starts at this sort of trip so stamina a concern. |

Showed glimpses of promise in maidens but has been poor in two handicap starts; can't be ruled out from this top yard but a tongue-tie will have to make a significant difference. |

By a top French sire and cost 87,000Euros as a 2yo; some promise in two maiden hurdles last year but was disappointing when favourite on return at Tipperary in May; likely capable of better so not ruled out on handicap bow. |

Has shown his best form at Clonmel but was pulled up there last month (2m1f, good); on the retreat when falling at the last at Ballinrobe last time (2m2f, good); blinkers go on now but recent form just moderate and this comes quick enough after his fall. |

Has shown his best form here; won a C&D maiden hurdle (good to yielding) in 2024; ran respectably here (2m3f, soft) in March when an 8l second of 15; tailed off in two subsequent runs; fourth of nine at Limerick was a bit more encouraging when 2m4f was too far. |
