10st 12lb |
Gained first chase win over C&D (good) just 17 days ago, bolting up by 11l; on the face of it, a 6lb rise for that looks a shade lenient but it probably wasn't the strongest of races and this is tougher; likes it here but needs to improve again to follow up. |

Dual hurdle winner including once here, is 0-14 over fences but has been placed lots of times including third in this race last year; pulled-up over hurdles last time but a player if rebounding. |

11st 3lb |
Winner over fences; runner-up in a Wexford handicap chase in July; comes here on the back of a fall in a Sligo handicap hurdle and an unseat when hampered two out in a handicap hurdle here on Wednesday; stays well and far from impossible, but preparation has hardly been ideal. |

10st 1lb |
Hurdle/chase winner with a modest strike-rate; going okay when falling three out over hurdles last time (3m2f at Sligo) but others are preferred for win purposes. |

Maiden over hurdles opened her account when winning a Down Royal handicap chase in May; was below that level at Roscommon on soft since but can do better back on lively ground. |

Shed the maiden tag on fourth chase start in a Down Royal handicap last month (3m2f, good); 5lb rise for that seems fair but this is a much tougher race and has to prove effectiveness on softer ground. |

11st 12lb |
Won over 3m at Limerick on return, her second chase win; has put two blots on her record; seems risky at present; cheekpieces now added to usual tongue-tie. |

Won over 3m at Limerick on return, her second chase win, but was poor at Wexford since and has to rebound; was disappointing on her only previous run here. |

Hurdle winner has taken well to chasing, winning two of her five starts; won a Killarney beginners' last October and a Limerick handicap on return, both over approx' 3m; fell at Down Royal in between; up 4lb but should go well again. |

11st 10lb |
Has a poor win record, 1-13 over hurdles and 1-30 over fences; however has been in the frame lots of times including last four chase starts up to 3m2f; should go well again off an unchanged mark. |

10st 5lb |
A record of 1-29 over fences but has been placed lots of times including at Limerick and Wexford the last twice; needs to do more but shouldn't be far away off an unchanged mark. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
10st 0lb |
Veteran with modest strike rate including 2m6f Tramore chase last summer on good; comes here in decent form though, most recently second to Krabat in 2m4f Limerick handicap last month after a break, having every chance; better ground here could see him turn the tables on that rival (1lb wrong). |
