Dual winner over hurdles last year and has also shown fair form in maiden chases, runner-up in 6-runner event at Wexford (19f) last month. Below-par effort in claiming hurdle at Bellewstown 23 days ago, but he could fare better now handicapping over fences with hood refitted.

Confirmed promise of previous run when landing a Roscommon handicap hurdle in July. Found less than looked likely returned to chasing when fourth of 12 at Killarney last time, but he's on a handy mark over fences (now rated 9 lb higher over hurdles).

Fair form without winning over hurdles but made a successful chasing debut in maiden at this course (2¼m) a year ago. Has run creditably in 3 starts over hurdles since, fifth of 14 in handicap at Ballinrobe (2¾m) 7 days ago, and he merits consideration now handicapping over fences.

Proved a different proposition making his third chase start when winning maiden chase at this course (19f) in May. Lesser effort at Galway, but stayed on well to double his tally in handicap here 18 days ago. Respected back up in trip at this track.

Front runner who took a step back in the right direction when second in handicap at Kilbeggan (3¼m) last month. However, failed to get his own way out in front and failed by a long way to repeat that effort at this course (19f) 18 days ago.

Dual hurdles winner for Gordon Elliott in 2023 but remains a maiden over fences. Best effort for present stable when runner-up in handicap chase at this course (19f) in June, so he could bounce back from a lesser effort over hurdles last time.

Benefited from an enterprising ride when getting off the mark in handicap hurdle at Sligo (3¼m) in July. Lesser efforts the last twice, though, ninth of 16 at Sligo on latest outing. Switches to cheekpieces as she makes chasing debut.

Long-standing maiden but ran better fhan for a while when second over this C&D in June. Not in the same form next 2 starts, though was keeping on in fourth (albeit unlucky to trouble the first 2) when falling 2 out at Killarney last month. Others still preferred. RESERVE.

Gained a first chase success in handicap at Kilbeggan (2½m) in April. However, was pulled up at Wexford (25f) next time, before probably needing the outing after 4 months off in handicap hurdle here (2¾m) 18 days ago. This run should reveal more.

Both wins under Rules in hunter chases and his losing run is mounting up. One of better recent efforts when third at Cartmel (25f) in June, but not in the same form in 2 subsequent outings. Has been given a chance by the handicapper, though.

Went the wrong way over hurdles for J. D. Motherway last season. After 4 months off, looked in need of the experience sent chasing for this yard when seventh of 14 in handicap at Kilbeggan (2½m) in July. Tongue strap back on. RESERVE.

Started off well over fences last season, winning a Ballinrobe maiden (23f) at the third attempt. However, struggled for form afterwards and has gone backwards from a promising return over hurdles, weakening quickly back chasing at Kilbeggan (2½m) 2 weeks ago.

Only win came in handicap hurdle at this venue (2¾m) in April last year. Well held in 2 chase starts to begin the current season and below his best back hurdling since. However, he's worth a market check on handicap chase debut making first run since leaving Gordon Elliott.

Improved form over hurdles when making the frame in handicaps at around 3m on first 2 outings this season. Was strong in the betting but stumbled soon after the start when below-par fourth of 16 at Kilbeggan (19f) in July. Interesting to see if the support returns as he goes chasing.

Sole success came over hurdles at this venue (2¾m) nearly 2 years ago. Form went the wrong way over fences last season and hasn't fared much better in 3 outings during the current campaign, running poorly back hurdling at Hexham in June. Blinkers refitted with tongue strap added. RESERVE.

Fair form over hurdles at best but hasn't matched that level in 4 starts over fences this season, weakening in third when falling at the last in handicap at Wexford (19f) in August. Ran poorly reverted to hurdling at Kilbeggan 15 days ago. Back up in trip.

Maiden hurdler who didn't offer much in 2 starts over fences this summer, fifth of 6 in maiden over this C&D on the first occasion. Fared no better back hurdling when down the field in handicap at Down Royal 3 weeks ago. Now tried in a visor.
