Flat winner is 0-11 hurdling but runner-up no less than five times (all at 2m), including seasonal return at Punchestown in June; Roscommon run since was below par but overall profile gives him claims. |

His sole Flat win came at this track in 2024 and is now rated 71 in that sphere; lots of good efforts in 10 maiden hurdle runs including on comeback at Punchestown last time; penalised 8lb makes it difficult for him but should run well. |

11st 9lb |
Recorded a third AW win in July; didn't run badly at Galway over 1m4f (yielding to soft) and his lesser effort there next time is likely explained by the fact it came a day later; hood on for hurdling debut and not ruled out. |

11st 8lb |
Won a 1m4f Flat handicap last year; plenty of solid efforts over hurdles but ran out twice too; fine efforts last twice, notably when second in a 2m Galway handicap; not bred for this trip but a big player if staying; penalised 8lb. |

13-race maiden over hurdles; easily held by a couple of these in maiden hurdles; unseated when still with a chance at Ballinrobe last week; Darragh O'Keeffe booked ,but needs to find a bit more to land this. |

11st 4lb |
Touched off in a Down Royal Flat maiden last year (1m3f, good); made a mistake at two out when a 6.5l fourth at Ballinrobe last month (2m2f, good); runner-up over C&D last time when hampered by a faller at the last but it likely would merely have reduced the 14l winning margin; needs to progress. |

Touched off in a Down Royal Flat maiden last year; might have been a bit closer at Ballinrobe last time but for a mistake two out; should not be too far away. |

11st 4lb |
Didn't trouble the judge in either bumper start; took fourth of 17 on hurdles debut at Clonmel (2m4f, good to yielding) in May; another decent effort over 2m4f here last time when a distant third; thereabouts again. |

Failed to trouble the judge in both starts in bumpers; 5.5l behind Captain Hanley when fourth of 17 on hurdles debut at Clonmel (19.5f, gd-yld) in May; sharper for that and could get closer to that rival now; preferred by Darragh O'Keeffe. |

Best effort yet when finishing ahead of Aodha's Arrow and Back In Favour at Roscommon on latest; should strip fitter for that run and holds an each way chance. |

Betting Forcast
15/2 Firebrand, 13/2 Baila Conmigo, 9/2 Whats New, 7/2 First Ascent, 40/1 Geashill Poet, 66/1 Man Down, 12/1 Midfield Magic, 50/1 Scotty Joe, 11/2 Tomthescaffolder, 100/1 Blue Johnl, 14/1 Down After Dark, 11/4 Power Of Knowledge, 16/1 Bayswater Bloom
Verdict
The most interesting one in here is Willie Mullins’ 4yo Camelot colt POWER OF KNOWLEDGE. Out of the top-class hurdler Annie Power, he did plenty wrong but showed definite ability in a Galway Festival bumper and he is taken to make a winning start over timber. First Ascent holds solid form claims but the forecast rain is a big concern for him. Whats New is a danger, as is Baila Conmigo. Midfield Magic needs checking in the market. [Dave Stephens]
