Showed much improved form when winning 16-runner handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan 10 days ago by 12 lengths from Thirsty Work. Up 10 lb for that success but such was his authority that day that it shouldn't be enough to stop him following up here if handling the quick turnaround.

Headstrong sort but settling better of late and came very close to snapping a lengthy losing run when beaten a nose by improving Arcland in handicap at Killarney 18 days ago. Obvious claims if backing that up. RESERVE.

Inconsistent maiden but one of his better efforts when 7¼ lengths third of 12 to Esticky End in handicap at Wexford 11 days ago. Same mark and now wears first-time cheekpieces.

Likeable sort who won 3 times over fences last year and kicked off this season in much the same headspace when landing a 10-runner handicap at Wexford in May by 2¼ lengths from Kilbrin Rocco. Potentially thrown in back over hurdles. Respected.

Winner on the Flat who has shaped well on several occasions over hurdles but has been proving much more miss than hit of late.

Fairly useful Flat winner who has been no better than mid-division in a trio of maiden hurdles. Needs to have sharpened up his jumping technique but very much the type to do better now tackling handicaps in this sphere.

Consistent overall and impressive when winning over fences at Galway last season. Good second over hurdles next time highlighted he was on a workable mark in this sphere and no surprise to see him bounce back with June return under his belt.

Surpassed bumper form at the first time of asking over hurdles when successful at Downpatrick last summer. Mixed bag in handicaps, with her last 3 efforts, including both starts for current yard, leaving plenty to be desired.

Has never stood much racing and didn't show anything to make him of interest in a pair of handicaps in May.

All-or-nothing sort that has gone with no encouragement on either start since returning from a lengthy absence. Has been given a chance by the handicapper, but difficult to recommend. Tongue tie back on.

Fair maiden on Flat. Well held at long odds all 3 starts in maiden hurdles. Makes handicap hurdle debut.

Runner-up on hurdles bow at this course last season but well held in similar events on both outings this term. Type to get back on track now handicapping and any market support will be well worth noting.

Did well on all-weather Flat for Ralph Smith in winter 2023/24 but off for 19 months prior to finishing well held at Wolverhampton in December (only start for Barry Brennan). Went with no encouragement returned to this sphere on debut for yet another new yard in April. Wears first-time blinkers.

Has shown ability in a variety of events though he'll need to step up significantly to defy his opening mark back over hurdles. Wears first-time tongue strap.

Failed to complete both starts in points. Hinted at more ability at times when well held in a trio of maiden hurdles. Open to improvement in handicaps. RESERVE.

Shaped with a bit more promise when third in an admittedly weak mares maiden at Sligo in June but failed to build on that from a stiff-looking mark on handicap bow last time. RESERVE.

A 3-time winner over hurdles but fast approaching 2 years without success and little encouragement to be gleaned from latest efforts. Looks opposable.

Fair winner who has gone the wrong way over hurdles, showing a tendency to finish weakly on several occasions. Has gone well fresh before but a huge leap of faith required.

Offered first signs of encouragement over hurdles when sixth of 15 in a mares maiden at this course in May, but she's failed to build on it both outings since, running no sort of race on handicap debut back here last time.
