Has taken well to chasing this season, winning 23f handicaps at Killarney in July and August before finding another jolt of improvement for latest success at Roscommon a month ago, Hard to omit from calculations in current mood.

Runner-up 3 times last summer for Gavin Cromwell but failed to replicate that form in 3 outings for Henry de Bromhead. Fit from the Flat and feather in cap for latest trainer that he could get him back on track when landing a maiden chase 3 weeks ago. Enters calculations.

Back on track when winning extended 25f handicap at Kilbeggan in July and arrives on the back of a pair of in-frame efforts at up to 3m in recent weeks. Can remain competitive.

Posted best effort for some time when springing a surprise in 17-runner handicap chase over similar trip at Fairyhouse in April, easily. No major surprise given overall profile that he found 12 lb rise and a better race beyond him a month later.

Useful winning hurdler/chaser at his best but has largely struggled since a Galway maiden chase success last summer. Much more like it when runner-up back hurdling 18 days ago but had the run of the race and now needs to back that up returned to fences.

Fair form in France and represents a very shrewd yard but has made a very quiet start to life in Ireland.

Thorough stayer who finally got off the mark in 10-runner handicap chase at Down Royal (3¼m, good to soft) in May. Brushed aside over hurdles on return from a break but should run closer to form this time over the larger obstacles. Mark does look a shade high, though.

Dual hurdles winner for Gordon Elliott in 2023 but remains a maiden over fences and is much more miss than hit these days.

Useful novice hurdler in 2024/25 for Willie Mullins. Lightly raced for this yard and while he's clearly well weighted, he doesn't look ready to cash in at present.

Left Gordon Elliott after finishing mid-division in a handicap hurdle at the Punchestown Festival in April. Limited impact both starts over fences for this stable but the assessor has lent a hand.

Managed to win a couple of handicap hurdles around 2½m at Ayr and Hexham last season and very much looks to be being brought along with similar intentions over fences, shaping quite well when fourth at Downpatrick 3 weeks ago. 4 lb out of the weights.

Looked all set to belatedly shed his maiden tag when a tack problem intervened at Limerick in May. Just a fair effort over hurdles soon after and he's been off since.

Won first 2 starts under Rules in 2023 but it's been pretty much all downhill in recent times. 4 lb out of the weights.

Patchy record under Rules and a rare Willie Mullins inmate who failed to taste success, failing badly to reproduce his Galway second at Listowel last month. Joined another leading yard but has enough to prove upped in trip.
