| Stepped up on previous hurdling efforts when fourth of 24 in a 2½m handicap at Cork in 2025/26 but has gone the wrong way in that sphere since. Hopes of a revival now chasing rest on the fact that he was runner-up on his sole start in points and goes in a first-time tongue strap. | ||||||||

| Point winner who took a step forward from chasing debut when 10¼ lengths fourth of 10 to Brucejack in 3¼m handicap chase at Down Royal last month despite finding the test too much. Drop back in trip will suit and any further progress is likely to see him firmly in the mix. | ||||||||

| Tramore handicap chase winner last summer. Has mixed hurdling and chasing since and, though below form on his last 2 outings, has been given a chance by the handicapper, now 5 lb below his last winning mark, and has the benefit of a conditional who looks good value for his 5 lb claim.

LIKABLE CHANCER is not without his faults but is taken to capitalise on the chance he has been given by the assessor. Reve Inoui stepped up on his chasing debut effort when fourth at Down Royal last time (shaped second best at the weights) and rates the main threat, while Jukebox Johnny could hardly be in better hands to get his career back on track now sent chasing. |
