Dual hurdles winner; gained first chase success at Killarney (20.5f, good to yielding) when keeping on well to score by 0.5l; now 7lb higher but this represents an ease in grade and he's ground versatile.

SR 99 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
Sole win came in a maiden hurdle in late 2023; fell mid-race on chase debut in this race 12 months ago and was pulled up on last month's return over hurdles.

SR 72 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 20/1.
Maiden hurdle winner over 2m4f on good; 0-6 as a chaser but has placed form and might strip fitter for his recent stable debut at Kilbeggan (2m4f) where he faded late on.

SR 110 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
Bit to prove over fences (0-3) but well handicapped on hurdling exploits and forget his last run at Christmas (over hurdles) when heavy ground was no good to him.

SR 99 suggests ability but 10/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Ran some okay races for Gordon Elliott but yet to fire since joining this stable; back from lengthy break when unseated rider at the last (sixth at the time) on Killarney chase debut.

Wexford handicap hurdle winner (2m1f, soft) for Brendan Walsh in 2024 off 87; beaten a short head in a five-runner contest at Catterick (2m, good to soft) on final start for Gavin Cromwell in December; creditable runs in defeat in both starts for new yard, distant third at Killarney last time; not ruled out.

Lightly raced 9yo; best effort in course handicap hurdle on latest when fourth of 13 (19.5f, soft to heavy; the third has won since); won a point so could make a chaser; market can guide.

Goes chasing off the back of a handicap hurdle win here last month off 80 (2m, soft to heavy; fine on good), keeping on well to lead at the death; should make a chaser; interesting contender.

Favourable weight of 10-3 gives a real edge in this handicap.
Dual hurdle winner; in first-time cheekpieces when winning comfortably from the front at Wexford (2m3f, yielding) and coped with sort of mark over hurdles; respected.

SR 113 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
Maiden's best efforts have come at this track over hurdles, headed on the run-in when third here last month (2m); pulled up sole point outing; stamina to prove on chase debut.

SR 105 suggests ability but 10/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Two-time chase winner hasn't got his head in front since November 2023; hasn't looked like ending the dry spell in two starts for this stable; beaten 54l at Killarney latest; cheekpieces tried.
