J: Alex Harvey

T: John C McConnell

Off the mark on the Flat with a bang at Down Royal last month when pulverising the field by 12l (10.5f, soft); attractive hurdles mark based on that performance, but this good ground is a significant question mark.

J: Gary Carroll

T: John C McConnell

Dual-purpose maiden is 0-8 on Flat but there was promise in her fourth of 15 back from over a year off at Fairyhouse earlier this month (3l behind Swift Charm); soft ground would be a plus and not ruled out if taking a step forward.
