J: W J Lee

T: Richard John O’Brien

Three wins on AW, but 0-21 on turf; did well at Dundalk over the winter and carried that form through to soft-ground contests in the spring; second over 7f at Naas and fourth over 1m2f here in April (strong form); not so good since; likes to come from off the pace, and there wasn't enough on when he was fourth (only 7-2) at Killarney on Monday.

J: W J Lee

Winning hurdler for Noel Meade; regressive on Flat in recent years until much more encouraging run at Limerick on Saturday, coming from some way back under 7lb claimer when beaten a head/neck over 1m4f (good); Billy Lee now takes over and major claims off same mark but draw a negative.

J: Chris Hayes

T: Richard John O’Brien

Four-time winner over 1m with ease in the ground on all occasions, including at this meeting last year; handles good ground too; has never tackled a trip this far, but just failed over 1m1f at Gowran and every chance that she will get it; big player if she does.

J: Declan McDonogh

T: Richard John O’Brien

Sole win came in a 7f Brighton maiden in 2024; nothing of note in his form since finishing third of seven at Limerick 12 months ago; in rear in this year's edition of that race on Saturday; has been struggling in handicaps.
