    Third runner for yard; narrow winner of a Lingstown point (soft) in November for Sean Doyle and makes debut for a top yard today; should be capable of making his presence felt and market strength would be a plus.

    Well beaten in a C&D maiden hurdle on debut but a better effort since at Naas; will need to improve further to take this but seemingly the yard's first-string on riding arrangements.

    Any or all of the returning cheekpieces, switch back from fences and career-low mark inspired this month's Market Rasen success (2m7f, soft); worse off with near-4l third Ramo following a 2lb rise, but value for further that day having idled late and live claims again here.

    Smart Flat sort for Roger Varian, winning four races up to 1m6f but stays 2m; 3rd in a Group 3 on final start for that yard; sold for 78,000gns in the autumn and worth watching in the market on debut for new connections.

    Big chance on best 2023 efforts for Roger Varian but he did not shine last year (hurdles/Flat) for Emmet Mullins; 8,500gns buy in September and heavily beaten at 100-1 in a hot AW handicap (2m; first-time visor) in April; others are more solid at present.

    Won a Rathcannon point on second start for Colin Bowe last year and made 110,000euros at the sales soon after; a bit off-putting that he has a hood and tongue-tie on for rules debut but represents a top yard so respected.

    Encouraging fourth to the classy Readin Tommy Wrong in his bumper but looked in a spot of bother when making race-ending mistakes on hurdling debut at Leopardstown (80-1); now has tongue tied.
