11st 7lb

J: Sean Bowen

T: Sarah Humphrey

Useful hurdler in Ireland; beaten in a match over fences on stable debut (first-time visor); this return to hurdles is welcomed but he appears to have developed some of his own ideas; had wind surgery.

11st 6lb

J: Sean Bowen

T: Sarah Humphrey

Very useful handicap hurdler in Ireland when on song but not at same level on his three chasing attempts, and looked very unenthusiastic when third in four-runner beginners' event at Kilbeggan (3m1f, good) in July; swaps blinkers for first-time visor on this stable debut; will probably need to travel with much greater zest.

J: James Smith

T: Matthew J Smith

Rated 139 over hurdles, two of three wins having been at Bellewstown; ran well on chase debut when second in Galway beginners' last summer but didn't count at Tipperary more recently; not easy to assess back chasing.

J: Declan McDonogh

T: Matthew J Smith

Lightly raced on the Flat since a 2023 Bellewstown win; uneven form over jumps this year; stays well but hard to fancy.

T: Matthew J Smith

Dual-purpose course winner (21.5f, good) is 3-11 over hurdles; beaten a head by Ad Caelum over 3m at Kilbeggan (good) latest and up 3lb for that; 9lb above last winning mark but can be in the shake up with a repeat of that last effort; blinkers back on.
