Useful bumper form in 2023, winning at Down Royal; hurdling career so far hasn't matched up, Limerick handicap third at Christmas (heavy) his best effort; pulled a shoe and suffered an overreach when pulled up in similar (but weaker) event in February; tongue-tie added now; can't rule out but may want it softer.

Useful bumper form in 2023, second at Listowel, beat a Gordon Elliott-trained favourite at Down Royal; fell on hurdling debut last May and failed to make much impact in three subsequent maiden attempts; third over C&D at Christmas suggests he is getting the hang of things (subsequent winner Marelly back in seventh); can win a race of this standard.

Smart bumper form a couple of years ago; fell on hurdling debut and quiet maiden runs since; can be free, so will need to settle, but could be on a nice mark for handicap debut.

Has struggled since winning a Down Royal bumper two years ago; fell on hurdling debut back there and tailed off in two starts following that; others more likely.

RPR of 117 when winning a Down Royal bumper in late-2023; on the retreat when falling there on his hurdling debut having been off for a year; tame effort at Roscommon in August.
