Bounced back to his best on just his second start for the yard when winning 10-runner handicap hurdle over shorter trip at Kilbeggan in July. A 9 lb rise makes like tougher but he must enter calculations.

Found improvement over hurdles this season, opening his account at Wexford in July and adding to that victory when landing 5-runner handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (2¼m, good) 39 days ago, driven out. This is more competitive but he is not taken lightly.

Resumed her progress when winning 20-runner handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (2½m, soft) in April but shaped as if amiss at Punchestown later that month. Others are more convincing.

Bumper winner who left previous hurdling efforts well behind when winning 11-runner handicap at Downpatrick in August. Raised 10 lb since but further improvement may be forthcoming.

Ended last season with good third at Clonmel in April and posted solid efforts on Flat since. Booking of Walsh a plus. Can make presence felt.

Failed to show much spark in any of his 3 appearances last season. Best watched back from 8 months off.

Scored over hurdles at Cork in July and wasn't disgraced in follow-up bid at same course 3 weeks later. Needs to bounce back from a poor run at Bellewstown, though.

Winner at Navan in late 2024 but lightly raced and not added to that success since, running poorly when last seen at Fairyhouse in April.

Reliable sort posted a good second in first-time blinkers (retained) on Flat at Tramore before possibly finding the run coming too soon when sixth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (2½m, good) in July. Freshened up since and he's weighted to go well. Engaged 1.49 Clonmel Thursday.

Thorough stayer who finally got off the mark when winning 10-runner handicap chase at Down Royal (3¼m, good to soft) in May. However, not seen since and likely to be tapped for speed on hurdling return over much shorter trip.

Well held behind Reverend Hubert on final start for Gordon Elliott last summer. Has since rejoined current yard and faces another stiff task on return.

Scored over fences at Limerick in March but not troubled the judge under various codes since. Others preferred.

Yet to score after 6 attempts and not seen since below-par run at Listowel in May.

Off the mark over hurdles at Thurles last winter but not in same form at Punchestown next time and made little impact on Flat since.

Disappointed in a maiden hunter at Cork on final outing for Josh Halley in April and made an underwhelming start for this yard in a couple of outings over hurdles. Plenty to prove now with cheekpieces added.
