Has gone up a total of 13lb for wins at Ballinrobe and Tramore; good 7lb claimer booked here, but not sure to uphold Tramore form with third-placed Sea Coral. |

Dual-purpose mare arrives in top form after back-to-back wins over C&D (yielding) and Tramore (1m4f, good) in lower grades; has gone up a total of 13lb but the form of her latest win has since been franked by the runner-up so there could yet be more to come; top rider booked. |

9st 3lb |
Added to her Ballinrobe maiden win over an extended 1m1f trip when landing a 1m2f Leopardstown handicap by a neck last time (good); she was probably value for more than the winning distance that day and should be competitive off just 3lb higher but the drop to 1m is a slight negative. |

Ballinrobe maiden winner was a length off Daler back there last month (now 1lb better off); seemingly outstayed over 1m4f last time; touched off at Navan last year, so she goes left-handed; handicapped to win when everything falls into place. |

9st 2lb |
Three wins in Britain in 2023 at up to 1m; regressive in 2024 and 2025 seasons; produced best run for some time at Dundalk in March when good second over 1m; after three more runs, took advantage of a drop in grade when winning a claimer at Limerick; backed that up in a Ballinrobe handicap; was 4lb wrong when ninth in the big handicap here on Tuesday. |

Three wins in Britain in 2023 at up to 1m; regressive in 2024 and 2025 seasons; has found a new lease of life, recording back-to-back wins in a Limerick claimer and a handicap at Ballinrobe; 4lb wrong, so needs to raise his game another notch; first reserve. |

11st 12lb |
Made almost all to win this race last year (Ballycashin third); ran well off 10lb higher mark at Tramore in August; otherwise has done all his racing on the Flat over the past year; placed on multiple occasions, fair form late; fourth of nine at Ballinrobe last Friday. |

All three Flat wins have come over an extended 1m1f on good ground, including this race last year off 1lb lower; opening two runs this term on AW were okay, well held latest under a 10lb claimer at Limerick; respected back here but ideally wants better ground. |

11st 12lb |
Won a Kilbeggan handicap hurdle in 2024 for John McConnell; came back to form in first-time blinkers to easily win on the Flat here over 1m4f last time; has to be respected back hurdling assuming the blinkers have the desired effect again. |

Flat maiden; won a Kilbeggan handicap hurdle in 2024 when with John McConnell; down the field in two runs for this stable; seemed to be well fancied for a similar race to this at Roscommon on the first occasion; blinkered now after a poor hurdle run. |

Fairly useful hurdler last season, winning Roscommon maiden; well held in handicaps however, latest at same venue last month; standout flat run for Alan King when touched off in 1m6f Sandown handicap two years ago (Cock And Bull third); noteworthy jockey booking for flat return. |
7/1 |

Won his maiden hurdle here in September (15.5f, gd-yld); creditable run when second in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown in November; disappointed both starts since, including when beaten 30l at Punchestown on return from break in April; sharper for that and tongue-tie goes on now. |

Yet to win on the Flat but took a Down Royal maiden hurdle in May; might have been unsuited by soft ground when poor in a Roscommon novice last time; solid fourth on the Flat here on Thursday. |

Won over hurdles at Down Royal in May but was poor in soft ground last time; Flat maiden ran well enough in defeat here as a 2yo and has a shout on his best form. |
