J: Brian Hayes

T: W P Mullins

Tramore maiden hurdle winner sprang a surprise when winning a four-runner Thurles Grade 3 novice (21.5f, yld-sft) in February; that form has taken a few knocks since, however, and Paul Townend has jumped ship; more needed up in grade.

J: Keith Donoghue

T: Gavin Cromwell

Rated 125 over hurdles; winner of a bumper here in early 2025 (2m3f, soft to heavy); didn't have to improve much from Down Royal return when taking a Gowran maiden hurdle in January (2m, heavy); didn't appear to get home on chasing debut when faded into fifth back at Gowran (19.5f, heavy); may do better over shorter.

Point and bumper winner; 0-6 record as hurdler includes three seconds in maidens last winter before an excellent 15l fourth at 150-1 in the Grade 1 Turners here (2m5f, good to soft) last March; way below form in maidens on his two starts this winter (third at 4-9 last time) but the cheekpieces go on for his leading yard on handicap debut; there are straws to clutch at.

Point and bumper winner; 0-5 over hurdles but held his own in some strong maidens before an excellent 15l fourth behind The New Lion in the Turners Novices Hurdle (2m5f, good to soft) at Cheltenham last season, keeping on well; way below that level in a Leopardstown maiden on seasonal return last time when a 23l seventh; this contest is weaker, so leading chance but last run raises a question.

Won 2m maiden here in January (soft-to-heavy) and excellent run following month when favourite in very competitive 19-runner 2m Leopardstown handicap, going clear with winner from last; took another step forward when third to a top-class novice in 2m4f Grade 2 Fairyhouse novice on latest (Generous Risk second) in first-time cheekpieces, despite slipped saddle; good chance he'll improve again at 3m and don't rule out.

Walk In The Park 5yo cost 13,000euros as a 3yo, is closely related to 2m3f hurdle winner The Street and half-brother to 2m chase winner Don Occhetti; Galway bumper winner (yielding) made all in Thurles maiden hurdle in November; fair effort on latest in Limerick Listed Handicap at Christmas, never dangerous fourth on testing ground; others likely have more scope for improvement.
