Lightly raced last year at three, winning minor Roscommon contest and chased home a very smart type in Leopardstown Listed over this trip; recently landed the odds in Cork 4yo maiden hurdle before beaten around 8l into third in 1m4f Curragh Listed last month; has a bit to find.

Lightly raced last year at 3, winning minor Roscommon contest and chased home a very smart type in Leopardstown Listed over this trip; recently landed odds in Cork 4yo maiden hurdle, an unusual prep for one from this yard; cheekpieces fitted for Flat return and bit to find on ratings.

4yo filly; talented on the Flat, rated 86; won a 1m4f Cork maiden (sft-hvy) last month; placed in a Bellewstown maiden on good ground last year so conditions fine and she's interesting on hurdles' debut.

Two promising efforts last year in maidens at the Curragh and Bellewstown and posted a much higher RPR on seasonal return when under 9l off winner in Listed Noblesse Stakes over C&D last month (soft-to-heavy); interesting to see if she can run to her 86 rating here back in maiden company.

Flat maiden placed on all five starts over hurdles at 2m-2m1f, earning a rating of 118; a shade unlucky on the Flat at Limerick last time; beaten 5.5l when third of 14 on penultimate in a maiden hurdle at Cork; longer trip and good ground are queries; tongue tie goes on.

Modest form on Flat for Jim Bolger; made the frame on all five hurdle starts for this yard; makes Flat handicap debut off a potentially lenient mark; shortlisted and of definite interest if strong in the betting.

Won three of his six races (at up to 1m4f) for Roger Varian and was useful; 0-5 over hurdles but bar one blip it's been a promising start; placed in three of his four starts over hurdles in Ireland, including a Naas event in which the top-class Saratoga was second; hung badly right when failing to justify support in a juvenile handicap hurdle at Ascot.

J: Sean Bowen

T: C Byrnes

Won three of his six races (at up to 1m4f) for Roger Varian and was useful; 0-4 over hurdles but bar one blip it's been a promising start; he was facing testing ground for the first time in his life when third at Naas in the race that yet again provided the winner of the Fred Winter and conditions were again slow when third in a big-field maiden last week at Navan; suspicion there's more in the locker that could be unleashed now handicapping, especially back on a drier surface; big player.

Two Flat wins came in 2024; last month's third over 1m1f at Leopardstown was encouraging; unplaced twice this month; closely matched with Medieval Night on last week's Killarney run.

Two Flat wins came in 2024; recent Fairyhouse run leaves him with a good bit to find but previous Leopardstown third was a solid run; visor tried now, replacing tongue-tie/cheekpieces; interesting jockey booking.
