Modest juvenile form; his chance depends on his ability to improve on his first run on good ground.

9st 4lb

J: Seamie Heffernan

T: John J Nallen

Over two years since latest of only two wins; second over 6f at the Curragh in October and ran well over 7.5f on return, but poor strike-rate overall; prefers it soft but handles good.

Minella Rockett

9st 8lb

J: Seamie Heffernan

T: John J Nallen

Beaten a length, then a head, in pair of 1m maidens here in November; on recent return, was too keen down the hill in the early stages at Navan on handicap debut over 1m2f; stamina-laden Aga Khan pedigree on dam's side but needs to settle.

J: Seamie Heffernan

T: John J Nallen

Third career win came on final start last season in 1m Listowel Listed in testing conditions under a positive ride (just a day after being well beaten in handicap); balance of form is over shorter than this so others preferred on seasonal return.

J: Darragh O’Sullivan

T: John J Nallen

Only two wins from 40 starts, but placed 16 times; last won at the Curragh (6f, heavy) in April 2024 off 3lb lower; generally below best last year apart from Listowel fourth and Currgah second in the autumn; has a preference for soft/heavy
