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. |

Dual hurdles winner was poor at Wexford in April off 4lb higher (2m4f, good to yielding) but rebounded over fences back there last time when a distant second of 11 (3m2f, good to yielding); can't be ruled out but others are more appealing. |

Modest 2-29 jumps strike rate (hurdles and fences combined), placed nine times; produced a fair effort over fences at Wexford last month; below that level over hurdles at Ballinrobe last week. |

Won this race in 2024 off this rating and fourth off 5lb higher last year; hinted that he may be returning to form in a handicap chase at Wexford on latest; could go well. |

11st 2lb |
Got off the mark over fences when taking this race last year but hasn't repeated that form since between hurdles and fences; however, is 1lb lower than a year ago so has to be respected. |

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. |

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. |

Killarney beginners' chase winner (23.5f, yielding); 100-30 favourite on handicap chase debut at Down Royal in November (3m, gd-yld) and was under pressure but in contention when falling two out (Battle Of Mirbat won); off since and returns with yard in hot form; ground versatile and could go well. |

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). |
