Fairly useful sort ran a cracker when third in listed handicap at Limerick in December. Back on song to smoothly open his account in a Kilbeggan maiden on return and looks to have a solid chance at the weights back in handicap company.

Impressive when following up his Limerick victory at the Punchestown Festival. Too keen behind Mino Des Mottes prior to getting back on track when 4 lengths fifth (short of room briefly) in the Galway Hurdle last time. Expected to go well for last year's winning connections.

Doubled her tally when quickening clear to land a listed mares novice at Punchestown on final start last season. Has more on her plate back in handicap company, though, for all she shouldn't lack for sharpness following a recent pipe-opener on the Flat.

Fairly useful maiden at his best on the Flat. Underlined a bright start over hurdles when easily landing the odds in Wexford maiden last time. This is much tougher, however, his opening mark doesn't look insurmountable on the best of his form on the level.

Second on 3 consecutive starts, including a fairly useful Leopardstown maiden, before falling in the Fred Winter. Subsequently made the most of a good opportunity in first-time hood at Bellewstown in April. Needs to build on that now pitched into another very competitive handicap.

Fairly useful type. Opened his account at the second attempt over hurdles at Fairyhouse last winter. Bit better than the result when behind Adrienne in a Grade 2 subsequently and form on the Flat this summer looks solid. Opening mark a potentially lenient one on return to hurdling.

Fairly useful hurdler. Beat Beauvallon on yard debut at Bellewstown in July and has backed it up with creditable seconds at Galway/Kilbeggan. Opening mark perhaps on the stiff side, though does get the nod from Jack Kennedy.

Steadily improving filly. Raced more efficiently when justifying strong support in a Down Royal novice last time. Something to find at the weights on handicap debut, even with capable 3-lb claimer booked.

Fairly useful sort. Settled better than previously in this sphere when beaten 15 lengths in the Galway Hurdle before finding a Premier Handicap too competitive on the Flat last time. Paul Townend prefers Beauvallon.

Showed much-improved form to get off the mark in a Limerick maiden in March. Backed that up with a career-best second on the Flat at Gowran the following month. Daniel King takes over from out of the weights on handicap bow, and he could hit the frame if resuming progress back hurdling.

Proved a different proposition with dominant victories at Kilbeggan/Cork this summer. Ran too badly to be true in his attempt to complete a quick hat-trick at Ballinrobe (2¼m) since. Worth another chance given how impressive he was at Cork, with a strongly-run 2m unlikely to be an issue here.

All-or-nothing sort who caused a massive shock in an academy hurdle (250/1) at Naas for Richard Morrissey in 2025/26. Jumped sketchily when down the field on handicap/stable debut at Wexford (2½m) latest. Plenty on at the weights, even if on a going day.

Solid effort to get off the mark in a Down Royal maiden in May. No impact in big-field handicap hurdle at Galway last month. Hasn't pulled up any trees on the Flat since, either, and a 2 lb reprieve unlikely to be enough back hurdling.
