Won a weak maiden hurdle at Naas last December for Ciaran Murphy; struggled in beginners' chases in the spring; 50-1 when unseating rider three out in a handicap hurdle at the Galway festival; has changed stable; plenty of weight, rider's claim a plus.
Two wins over fences, 0-13 over hurdles; most recent win was in a 3m handicap chase at Navan in February 2023 off 112; runs off a modest hurdles rating of 99 here; hard to fancy on this year's moderate chase form; 20-1 at Listowel, fell at the third; only of interest if attracting market support.
14-race maiden; tailed off in a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan in August; pulled up on handicap debut on penultimate start; hard to make a case for her, though perhaps the addition of a tongue-tie will help.
Showed early promise in bumpers for Alan King; poor form over jumps until showing significant improvement when fitted with a tongue-tie for his Irish debut at Wexford in August; finished a game second and should go close with a reproduction.
Sole win over hurdles when making all over 2m3f at Kilbeggan three starts ago; tailed off at Wexford on her next start and struggled again at Listowel; up against it.
Beaten favourite on last three appearances; solid form in taking the runner-up spot in races over shorter distances at Wexford and Cork before finishing fourth over an extended 2m4f at Wexford; has a bit to find with Technology on that running, and that rival may be better suited by this trip
Won a 2m4f handicap hurdle at this venue last season; finished fifth, beaten around 13l, when trying to repeat that success in August; appeared to be labouring when unseating five out at Roscommon on Monday; blinkers tried now.
Disputing the lead when falling at the last in a 2m handicap at Cork last November; decent effort in first-time cheekpieces at Navan (2m6f) on next start when fourth behind a progressive winner; respectable fifth in a 23-runner contest over 3m at Naas in April, despite untidy jumping; potentially interesting if fit and ready after a break
Weak form since finishing second in big-field handicap hurdle at Naas early last year; problems with his jumping over fences, and unseated rider in a handicap hurdle on seasonal debut; some encouragement can be taken from last month's fifth at Galway.
Second at the age of 14 at last year's Listowel festival; trainer has a great record with veterans, but two runs last month suggest the years have caught up with this four-time winner.
