12st 0lb |
Won a bumper and two hurdle races, including a C&D maiden last year; the best of four chase runs this year came at Wexford last time; has a fair bit to do off topweight back to hurdles today. |

Bumper and hurdles winner is 0-3 over fences and hasn't troubled the judge; soundly beaten over C&D the last twice; new cheekpieces need to eke out more. |

A record of 1-19 over hurdles; best recent run was when fourth to Oh So Charming in a 2m2f Sligo claiming hurdle last time; ran well over 3m here last year and has to return to that form. |

Did well in handicaps last summer, winning over 2m6f and placed three times; had a couple of spins over fences in early summer; going okay when departing four out in 3m claimer at Roscommon, poor run since; no weight and big chance on paper, but would prefer farther. |

Two wins in 2023 for Gordon Elliott on soft and heavy ground; has run four times since joining Arthur Moore; has made the frame in two starts over fences; concerning that his two runs over hurdles have not been of similar standard. |

Two wins in 2023 for Gordon Elliott on soft and heavy ground; no joy since but step in the right direction in a handicap chase here on latest (19.5f, good); needs to back that up now back over hurdles. |

Failed to build on her win in a mares' beginners' at Ballinrobe (2m7f, soft) last September; beaten 56l over hurdles at Sligo latest; pulled up on last start over fences at Thurles in January; others make more appeal. |

Off the mark over fences in a C&D beginners' in May; unseated two out in a handicap chase back here next time when still in contention; never involved at the Galway festival when tailed off (2m2f, good); capable of better back here. |

Won a 2m2f maiden hurdle here in 2024 (good); was chasing last season and finally got a win in that sphere at Kilbeggan in April (2m4f, good to yielding) off 96 but pulled up at Wexford last time; Mickey Cohen appears to be the stable's best chance. |

12st 0lb |
Irish raider; without a win since 2023 and far too inconsistent to rely upon heavily but gave a good account when third off today's mark at Cartmel (3m1f, good) two starts ago and the booking of Sean Bowen catches the eye; reserve (non-runner) in the 5.40 at Tramore on Friday. |

0-20 at the age of nine, but broke a poor run of form back from a break when runner-up over 3m at Bellewstown in April (yielding); pulled up next time and was beaten 24l on his chasing debut at Downpatrick in a beginners' last time; others make more appeal. |
