Rated 17lb inferior to Open Secret over hurdles; however, under a positive ride, he won narrowly over 1m4f at Tramore last month; just 4lb higher. |

Fairly useful hurdler last season, winning a Roscommon maiden; well held in handicaps, however; standout Flat run for Alan King when touched off in 1m6f Sandown handicap two years ago off 3lb higher; didn't appear to stay the extended 2m trip at Galway on his return to this discipline last time; opposable. |

Fairly useful hurdler last season, winning Roscommon maiden; well held in handicaps however, latest at same venue last month; standout flat run for Alan King when touched off in 1m6f Sandown handicap two years ago (Cock And Bull third); noteworthy jockey booking for flat return. |

Two wins and a second in 1m4f/1m5f handicaps this year and continued the good work with a second success over hurdles last month; still on a workable mark. |

Has shown improved form on the Flat lately, winning handicaps at Ballinrobe and Tramore before runner-up at the latter track; now rated 81; was a 2m maiden hurdle winner at Thurles last November; can be competitive. |

Up a total of 13lb for back-to-back wins at Ballinrobe (1m5f, yielding) and over C&D (good) when 2.75l ahead of Marmeladova (that rival 3lb better off now); finished last at Gowran last time (1m5f, good to firm), which is not fully explained by her new rating; can do better back here. |

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. |

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. |

15-race maiden on Flat, fair hurdles form; never in the hunt when taking on older rivals on handicap debut in a valuable race at Galway. |

Won a maiden hurdle here in May but now 0-14 on the Flat, pick of recent form being Galway fourth (1m4f, soft); needs to settle better than at Tramore on latest, drops in trip. |

Yet to win after eight Flat starts but took a Down Royal maiden hurdle in May; solid effort over 1m4f at Galway last month (yielding to soft); two-day break possibly to blame when disappointed over hurdles back there last time; others appeal more. |

Three wins in Britain in 2023 at up to 1m; second over 1m here in March; took advantage of a drop in grade when winning a claimer over this trip at Limerick in June and followed up in a Ballinrobe handicap; held since, but back on a fair mark. |

Three wins in Britain in 2023 at up to 1m; regressive in 2024 and 2025 seasons; took advantage of a drop in grade when winning a claimer at Limerick and backed that up in a Ballinrobe handicap; two fair runs at the Galway festival; moderate display at Tramore; cheekpieces on now. |

Three wins in Britain in 2023 at up to 1m; regressive in 2024 and 2025 seasons; took advantage of a drop in grade and forceful tactics when winning a claimer over this trip at Limerick and backed that up in a Ballinrobe handicap off 72 (1m2f, yielding); not too bad in two runs at the Galway festival; good claimer takes off weight and this track may suit. |

Both wins (maiden/handicap) were over slightly longer distances but she kept on for a close fifth over this far at Leopardstown two weeks ago; in the mix. |

Added to her Ballinrobe maiden win when landing a 1m2f handicap here last month off 75; both runs since have been disappointing however, getting worked up beforehand at the Curragh and never landing a blow upped to 1m4f at Tramore five days ago; back down in trip here. |

Five-time winner, below best this season; fourth of nine at Ballinrobe in May; disappointed in his nest two races, over hurdles at Clonmel in May and back on the Flat at Tramore last month; dropped away tamely in fourth at Clonmel last week; needs to raise his game. |
