Some promise in maidens; first four handicap runs have revealed limitations; visored now and dropped in class after contesting a strong contest at the Curragh.
Bumper winner in 2020; best known as a three-time chase scorer, runner-up five times on the Flat (three times at Killarney, twice at this venue); probably ran close to his handicap mark when third in a 1m7f maiden at Leopardstown last month.
Dual-purpose performer; has won three of his last five races, two over hurdles and on the Flat at Gowran before finishing in mid-division in a handicap hurdle at the Punchestown festival; best Flat form at around 1m2f.
Beat today's rival The Banger Doyle in a 1m6f maiden at Killarney in 2023; a long time since his last Flat outing; however, he comes here in good shape after an emphatic win in a 2m handicap hurdle at this venue in May.
Sole success achieved at odds-on in a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan last autumn; placed twice from ten starts on the Flat; could feature if reacting well to blinkers.
Three-time winner at 1m2f on soft or heavy, latest over two years ago; fair form this season and proved he can stay when second at 33-1 over 2m1f at Limerick last month.
Gained the most recent of two 2m AW wins in February; turf credentials are relatively weak, placed only once from ten attempts; however, suited by a sound surface.
Won a mares' bumper at Roscommon last July (good); fair effort on Flat handicap debut at Down Royal (1m5f, yielding); 1m2f too sharp on seasonal return; Roscommon sixth was satisfactory; had a valid excuse (almost slipped up) when fancied at Gowran on latest.
Both Flat wins last season were gained on soft ground; tailed off at the Curragh in May; no impression over hurdles last time; not one of the stronger contenders.
