11st 7lb |
Winner of a point, a bumper and three races over hurdles; was returning from a 14-month absence when modest third of seven behind stablemates La Note Verte and Future Prospect at Tramore; second in mares' beginners' at Ballinrobe and soundly beaten at Sligo; cheekpieces added. |

Bumper and three hurdle wins; former point winner was returning from 14-month absence when modest third of seven behind a stablemate at Tramore; sent off favourite when second in mares' beginners' at Ballinrobe (23.5f; favourite) latest; receives plenty of weight from the field and should go well. |

Three wins include 2m6f handicap here last year; former points' winner was returning from 14-month absence when modest enough third of seven behind a stablemate and favourite on chase debut at Tramore last month; seems sure to have come on for that experience and likely the one to beat. |

Had a productive time last year, winning a hurdle and two chases; stays this trip well, but has been off since last August and this looks like a prep for Galway, where he has run well before. |

11st 10lb |
Irish raider who won a small-field beginners' chase comfortably at Kilbeggan (3m1f, good) last month and was not disgraced in a valuable 2m6f handicap hurdle at the recent Galway festival; still unexposed over fences; commands respect. |

In fine form over fences and hurdles; has won two of his last four starts, a conditions hurdle at Down Royal and a beginners' chase on latest at Kilbeggan; decent efforts in handicaps at Haydock and Kilbeggan sandwiched between those wins; needs a little bit more off current mark. |

Four hurdle wins at different trips, most recently over 3m at Clonmel in November; respectable fourth here behind Ad Caleum last month but may not have been suited by tight Ballinrobe track latest; others with stronger claims. |

26th May 2025 Good 2m 6f 131y |

Dual-purpose course winner; 9.25l behind Ad Caelum and Dartan at Kilbeggan latest, weakening after being hampered at the last; is 8lb above his last win but his yard is in form and he could go well dropped slightly back in trip. |

Failed to build on her win in a mares' beginners' at Ballinrobe (2m7f, soft) last September; beaten 56l over hurdles at Sligo latest; pulled up on last start over fences at Thurles in January; others make more appeal. |

9yo was once rated 132 over hurdles but has been sparingly raced in recent years and out of sorts in early summer; four previous chase outings came back in 2022, faller twice; hard to be confident in. |

Two wins have been over shorter; on the retreat when a faller two out over this trip in Down Royal contest won by Topgun Simmy on latest, second run after a long absence; needs to improve and stamina still unproven. |

One of two for yard; gained second win over hurdles when scoring off 120 in a handicap at Tipperary in July (20.5f, yielding); pulled up in first run since at Fairyhouse on testing ground last month after a 291 day absence; may have needed that and the return to a sounder surface is a plus; this trip should be fine; chance. |

Five hurdle wins include 3m2f handicap here last summer and more recently 3m1f Kilbeggan handicap in June; 0-14 chasing however, runner-up in mares' beginners' last autumn but most recently pulled up after running no sort of race in 3m2f Kilbeggan handicap last month; belatedly tried in a tongue-tie. |

Has a good record over hurdles at this venue; has yet to score in 13 starts over fences; pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Galway last time; stablemate The Dara Man is more interesting. |
