Gambled on in new headgear and shaped as if back to form bidding to win 3¼m Sligo handicap chase for a third time last week, inconvenienced by marathon run-in that day due to low sun and much better than the bare result. 2 lb lower here and clearly of interest.

Fair handicap hurdler who got off the mark at Limerick (21f, heavy) in February. Has become increasingly unreliable, though, and made an underwhelming chasing debut after 4 months off at Ballinrobe. Switched to a handicap now.

Kept mistakes to a minimum when winning 14-runner handicap chase at Killarney in May. Below that level since, soon backing out of things after briefly moving into contention between 3 out and 2 out in C&D event a month ago. Risky.

Has gone the wrong way since his novice days when successful at Navan and turned in a particularly sour display at Kilbeggan last time, going in snatches and always behind. Change of headgear.

Always looked like he'd do well over fences and produced his best effort since his chasing debut at Perth (3m) last time, though still lacked a punch at the business end. Can find a race.

3m maiden hurdle winner lightly raced under Rules in recent times. Placed twice in points earlier this year (long-standing maiden in that sphere). Subject of an interesting stable switch having joined Shark Hanlon and worth a look in the betting.

Point winner who remains with one standout effort under Rules, that coming on his first go over fences when third of 12 in novice chase at Kilbeggan (2½m) in June. Has been dropped 4 lb but he needs to show more.
