Won over hurdles at Downpatrick on 31 August over 2m2f on good ground, but his subsequent run was a considerable step backwards. He finished 14th at Gowran Park on 2 October, beaten fifty and three quarter lengths over today's 2m4f on the same going. His current mark of 108 is 9lb above the rating he held for the Downpatrick win, despite a 1lb drop since Gowran Park. Danny Mullins has ridden four winners from 14 rides in the past fortnight, providing encouragement as he seeks to put that defeat behind him.

His second at Tramore on 16 August, beaten two and a quarter lengths over 2m5½f on good to yielding, gives him a solid recent effort to build on. He is now rated 105, 3lb higher than at Tramore, and drops back a furlong and a half to 2m4f. He also finished second here over 2m in April, although that came on soft ground rather than today's good. He was pulled up on good ground at Killarney in July, which leaves something to prove under today's conditions.

Pulled up over hurdles at Leopardstown in March and Fairyhouse in April, he returns to this discipline with a fair amount to prove. His third at Wexford in July 2025, beaten three and a half lengths over 2m½f on good ground, offers a more encouraging reference. However, he was also pulled up on his latest Flat outing at Galway on 31 July and has been off for 83 days. Today's hurdle mark of 103 is 2lb below his April rating, but that modest easing needs to be matched by a much stronger performance.

His Clonmel hurdle win over two miles seven furlongs on 1 October gives him a clear course positive, with good ground again in his favour. He races from 103 today, 5lb above the mark for that success, so this demands more despite the familiar venue and going. The drop of three furlongs is another change, although he finished fourth over this course and distance in April, beaten six and three quarter lengths. His Punchestown win in May came over three miles on good to yielding, underlining the strength of his form at longer trips.

His fourth at Ballinrobe in August, beaten nine and a half lengths over two miles two and a half furlongs, gives him something to work with. He has since finished sixth at Listowel and seventh at Punchestown, the latter defeat coming by 15 and three quarter lengths on 13 October. The return to a longer trip needs to help, with today's two and a half miles four furlongs further than at Punchestown. Danny Gilligan's two winners from 12 rides in the past fortnight are a positive.

Her fifth at Downpatrick on 18 September, beaten nine and a quarter lengths over 2m2f on good ground, leaves her needing to find more. A 3lb drop to 102 gives her some help, although the extra two furlongs mean she faces a different test over 2m4f. She showed ability when second at Tramore in April, but that was over 2m on soft ground rather than today's longer trip on good. Henry de Bromhead and Mike O'Connor have combined for seven wins from 18 runners at Clonmel, a notable positive for her chance.

Second at Punchestown on 13 October, beaten four and a half lengths over 2m on good ground, he comes here after two encouraging placings. He had finished third over 2m1f here on 1 October, suggesting the return to Clonmel is a positive. A 2lb rise to 102 asks a little more, while today's 2m4f is four furlongs further than his latest assignment. The distance merits caution, as he finished well beaten over 2m4f at Wexford in April and over 2m3f at Kilbeggan in July.

Won over this course and distance on 1 October on good ground, so he returns to a test that suited him well on that occasion. That followed a third over 2m3f at Kilbeggan in September, giving his recent hurdle form a solid look. A rating of 103 is 11lb above his winning mark here, so repeating that success will demand more from him under today's handicap terms. Daniel King has ridden three winners from 27 rides in the past fortnight, adding a further positive as this four-year-old bids to follow up.

He has put together two September hurdle placings over two miles on good to yielding, most recently finishing third at Listowel, beaten 13 lengths. That followed a second at Kilbeggan and gives him more to build on than his well beaten efforts there in July and August. A mark of 98 is 2lb lower than at Listowel, offering some relief as he tackles this novice handicap. The extra four furlongs remain a question, given he struggled over two miles three furlongs on good ground at Kilbeggan in those earlier runs.

Her fourth at Kilbeggan on 8 August, beaten nine and a half lengths over 2m3f on good ground, offers some encouragement for this assignment. She was unable to build on that at Wexford on 28 August, finishing eighth, beaten thirty-four and three quarter lengths over 2m4½f. She returns after 55 days from a mark of 94, just 1lb below her Wexford rating, so a much stronger effort is required. Patrick Foley has sent out eight winners from 55 runners here, so the stable has a sound course record.

Successful over two miles three furlongs at Kilbeggan on 3 September, she has recent winning hurdle form on good to yielding to her credit. However, she was pulled up over two miles two furlongs on good ground at Listowel on 23 September and needs to put that behind her. She remains on 92, which is 7lb above her mark for the September Kilbeggan win and asks more of her. Her second over today's two and a half miles at Limerick in May, beaten nine lengths on soft ground, offers encouragement for the distance.

Her Navan win on 19 September came over 2m3f on good ground, giving her a recent success under conditions close to those she faces here. She was less effective over today's 2m4f at Gowran Park on 2 October, finishing ninth, beaten twelve and three quarter lengths. A mark of 89 leaves her 5lb above her Navan winning rating, so she still needs to show she can cope with the higher assessment. Her August second over 2m4½f at Sligo and September second over 2m5½f at Newton Abbot offer encouragement for the trip.

His fourth at Downpatrick on 9 October, beaten three and a half lengths over 2m6f on good ground, gives him a reasonable form chance. He failed to build on it at Punchestown on 13 October, finishing sixth, nineteen and a quarter lengths behind the winner, over today's 2m4f. Both efforts came from his current mark of 87, so the Downpatrick performance is the one he needs to reproduce. His fifth here over 2m3½f in May came from a 4lb higher rating, although he was beaten 11 lengths on that occasion.
