Showed precious little in maidens before winning on handicap debut at Limerick in May 2025 off 92 (2m3f, good); badly hampered when pulled up at Killarney last time; long-absent and may need this. |

Won a 2m1f handicap hurdle at Clonmel almost a year ago; only five runs since; faded behind Mother Ship at Navan last month; should strip fitter but has a bit to find. |

11st 9lb |
Won at Limerick (2m3f, good) last year; consistent sort finished third on first two runs for this yard, at Clonmel and Wexford, but ran no sort of race at Kilbeggan last time; has to be considered on balance of recent form. |
8/1 |

Won at Limerick (2m3f, good) off 5lb higher last year; consistent sort has finished third in both runs for new yard; this is a higher grade compared to those outings but he's shortlisted. |

Brother to useful hurdler/chaser Donnacha (best at 2m4f); improved for cheekpieces when second in pair of 2m4f handicaps on good ground; bad early mistake when unable to land a blow on chase debut over 2m7f last time. |

Maiden hurdler has shown improvement upped in trip last twice in 2m4f handicaps, runner-up at Sligo and Wexford on good ground; brother Donnacha is a better chaser, so could improve for this switch in codes. |

Placed in a bumper for Nicky Henderson; nothing in four runs for Noel Kelly; has shown improvement in recent starts and continues to slide down the weights; each-way contender. |

33-race maiden but his recent second in a Punchestown handicap hurdle is a level none of these have reached in handicaps; might be his best chance yet of landing a handicap. |

Sole hurdles win came at Bellewstown (20.5f) last year; well below form over hurdles this year before good chase third at Wexford in July (15.5f); poor effort at Tramore; carried out by loose horse before the second in Bellewstown hurdle latest. |

Beaten 21l on handicap debut at Downpatrick earlier this month (2m2f, good), staying on late; this step up in trip looks like the right move; not ruled out. |

Dual-purpose maiden has yet to make an impact in handicap hurdles, hanging badly right on home turn at Wexford last time; hard to be confident in, although Danny Mullins booking a positive. |

Sole win in 26 starts came at Cork last year; pulled up in a handicap chase at this venue in July; much better when close up in fifth in 2m4f handicap hurdle here in August. |

Sole win in 25 starts came at Cork (2m1f, good) a year ago; back on that mark but poor on last hurdles run at Punchestown and pulled up over fences here last month; capable but needs to shrug off latest effort. |
