11st 4lb |
Downpatrick hurdle winner in 2024 for Paul Flynn; came back from a long absence for this yard with a close second over hurdles at Wexford; got off the mark over fences since at the same track; should go well. |

Sent off at just 9-2 on return from mammoth absence in a handicap hurdle here 16 days ago (16.5f, good) and denied only by a neck; capable off this mark over fences but the 'bounce' factor has to be a concern and has fallen both previous chase runs at this venue. |

11st 10lb |
Hurdles winner two seasons ago; gained a first Flat win at Tramore in July on his third run for this yard, in first-time blinkers, scoring by 10l; some concern that he has been a beaten favourite in two small-field events (hurdles and Flat) at the same venue since then. |

9st 10lb |
Bounced back to form when gaining a first Flat win on his third run for this yard over C&D last month in first-time blinkers, successful by 10l; hefty 12lb hike for that but interesting if headgear continues to work; just second over hurdles here on Thursday. |

11st 12lb |
Won a Kilbeggan handicap hurdle in 2024 for John McConnell; came back to form in first-time blinkers to easily win on the Flat here over 1m4f last time; has to be respected back hurdling assuming the blinkers have the desired effect again. |

11st 5lb |
Maiden hurdle winner at Kilbeggan in 2024; runner-up in C&D handicap off 2lb lower in March; some fine runs in defeat this year; not seen to best effect over 2m3f at Kilbeggan on latest but player at his best. |

A maiden hurdle winner here over 2m in 2024; no win since but some fine runs in defeat lately; fell at Down Royal six days ago but can be a big player if none the worse for that. |

11st 4lb |
Maiden hurdle winner for Joseph O'Brien last year; mixed handicap form this year and possibly best watched on chase debut straight into handicap company. |

11st 8lb |
Maiden hurdle winner for Joseph O'Brien last year; similar runs in defeat at Killarney and Galway lately so has to find more even dropped 2lb. |

11st 8lb |
Winning hurdler for Joseph O'Brien; took a step forward in his headgear combination when a solid third in a handicap hurdle at Killarney two weeks ago; this is more competitive again but has a squeak if he can improve again. |

Hasn't won over hurdles since 2022; no sign of ending the drought in two runs at Cork and Tramore last month; difficult to make a case for on recent showings. |

One-time useful dual-purpose sort when trained in UK; however, has been poor on his last three runs (two over hurdles) and others preferred. |

Showed little in maidens and similar story in first two handicaps; beaten 25l when last of six at Tramore latest; still early days but others preferred. |
