Both wins have come on soft and heavy over this sort of trip; is down to a rating she should be competitive off again but last week's return to the Flat didn't prompt an improvement in performance; hard to fancy right now. |

C&D winner a year ago is having another fine season; won at Leopardstown before a fine 3rd back here, both over 1m5f; off an unchanged mark, so solid claims. |

Veteran; five-time chase winner including three over C&D; last won here last August off 99 and 3lb lower now; recent efforts have been underwhelming, however, and blinkers are reached for. |
18/1 |

6th 10 (14) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 5f 190y |
9st 4lb |
Old boy has won 12 races in all under both codes, mostly from the front; C&D winner in 2024 and was placed over 1m4f last year, but he's pushing on now and tailed off over fences last time. |

Veteran pulled up on first start for this yard at Clonmel in December but has a fine record here (four wins, three over fences) and is just 1lb higher than when winning over C&D last August; ground versatile and can't discount. |
