0-9 for Jessica Harrington; showed promise on a couple of occasions off higher marks last year but two runs this year were poor; new yard now and tongue tie goes on; stamina to prove up in trip.

0-8 and yet to trouble the judge but has shown glimmers of ability; hinted more than once last season that he needed further than 1m2f but weakened over that trip on return at Navan last month; blinkers now go on, but this trip is a query.

Veteran gained the ninth win of his career when bolting up at Sligo on penultimate (1m6f, yld-sft); raised 8lb and couldn't follow up at Listowel (2m, good); drop back in trip a plus and has run well here before; place shout.

Veteran has done a bit of everything and recorded his ninth win when easily scoring over 1m6f at Sligo last time (yielding to soft), benefitting from a truly-run race; up 8lb but in the mix.

Maiden running consistently well in defeat this year; closely matched with a couple of these rivals on Leopardstown third on penultimate and on latest Down Royal second (2m, good); nudged up 3lb but should continue to give a good account.

Glimmers of promise in maiden hurdles last year and rated 102; decent effort off lowly mark on the Flat at Navan on latest (1m5f, good); rider takes off useful 7lb and would have a place chance on best form over timber.

Sole win came off this mark at Down Royal last September (1m5f, good); hasn't really fired this season and beaten 8.75l back at Down Royal latest (2m, good), but has gone well over this C&D before so not discounted.

Sole win on turf came at Fairyhouse in June 2024 (1m4f, good); latest of three AW wins came at Dundalk in November over 2m; two turf runs this term were poor and most recent Dundalk outing was not his best either.

Dual-purpose maiden ran her best race at Roscommon last month when fourth of 16 (1m4f, yielding to soft); unseated on her second hurdles start at Ballinrobe next time and well beaten at Down Royal back on the level over 2m last time; this trip suits better.

Dual-purpose maiden didn't get beyond the first (swerved and unseated) at Ballinrobe on Tuesday; previous Roscommon Flat third under today's rider was a solid run so don't rule out.
