Twice successful over hurdles; ordinary handicap chase form until second at Down Royal in January; pulled up at Thurles on his final start for the now-retired Des McDonogh; 10lb below hurdles mark; fair chance if replicating his improved display. |

Hurdle winner (1-15) is 0-9 chasing but has run some solid races in defeat; ran well enough at Tramore last time on first run for 285 days; considered with improvement to come. |

Winless in seven starts for Gordon Elliott; sole win for Adrian Murray at Downpatrick (2m3f, good) off 87 around this time last year; fair debut for this yard at Sligo last month after a break; market will reveal expectations. |

Sole win in 19 starts came in handicap chase at Tramore (2m6f, yld) last year; shaped well when staying-on fourth at Sligo last month and backed it up when beaten 2.5l into second by Mickey Hulie at Limerick 18 days ago; shapes as if step up in trip will suit and leading claims off 2lb higher with claimer taking off 7lb. |

Sole hurdles win came here, under regular rider, last summer, and placed three times over flights later in 2025; only had three completed starts over fences, best of them his Downpatrick second to subsequent easy winner Dinoland over nearly 3m; early exit last time; this trip seems closer to his optimum. |

Better hurdler than a chaser, and her last three runs over fences do nothing to dispute that; pulled up at Roscommon on her return. |

Running for the 45th time when opening her account over hurdles at Kilbeggan (3m1f, good to yielding, 100-30 fav) last month; couldn't follow up back there next time (3m1f, good, 12-1) off 5lb higher; regular 7lb claimer has been replaced for this return to fences (0-9), but her overall profile is unappealing. |

0-8 over hurdles but has ability and was a good second in a mares' maiden hurdle over C&D (good) on penultimate; not as good upped to 2m6f on latest; the drop back in trip is a plus here but rated 88 so probably place claims at best. |

Fair form in bumpers early last season; best effort over hurdles yet when runner-up of 12 in course handicap (2m2f, good) two weeks ago, making most of the running; stamina not certain to hold out over this trip. |
