Dual Flat winner but 0-9 over hurdles, although fair run last time when 2l third at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to firm; tongue-tie back on); 4lb lower than when fourth in this race last season; each-way chance. |

Placed a few times when trained in Britain and improved on Dundalk form when clear second at Leopardstown early this month, having made much of running in an admittedly weak race; 2lb higher now and this handicap probably has more strength in depth. |

AW winner and last of two turf wins came in May 2022 off 58; okay runs of late over 1m1f, not one to rule out with talented rider's claim and drop back to 1m to suit. |

Six-time winner and winner of two handicaps at this track last year; 12lb below last winning mark; poor runs here in the spring and never featured in three turf starts this year; others appeal more. |

Not much to recommend in a trio of Dundalk maidens and ran too freely on heavy ground over 1m at Limerick last month; hood tried here as she drops back in trip but others preferred. |

9-32 at Dundalk, but just 1-28 on turf; followed up a third-place finish at Cork (1m, good to yielding) by filling the same spot at the Curragh (7f, good), hampered before running on late; on a nice mark if putting it all together. |

Won a beginners' chase over C&D (good) in August 2024; dual-purpose sort has failed to add to his tally since and he is best on good ground; fit from the Flat but needs the track to dry out. |

27-race maiden; encouraging run when third (beaten 2l) at Fairyhouse two starts ago but didn't build on that at 7f since; return to the minimum may help with first-time blinkers fitted. |

First effort of note this season came at Fairyhouse early this month, speed throughout over 6f (splitting today's rivals Florence Thompson and Catherine Chroi); not certain this return to 7f will suit; 1lb wrong. |
