Second runner for yard; dual-purpose; 3-26 over hurdles and rated 98; in good form on the AW in recent weeks and ran well on his only previous visit to this track; goes on any ground, notable jockey booking and not without a chance. |

Five-time winner; last scored at Leopardstown in May 2025 off 4lb lower; struggled on soft ground on seasonal return over 1m6f here in April; might need another run or two to hit top form. |

Fifth career win came over C&D in May (good) and somewhat mixed form since, standout run when just denied over 2m1f at Clonmel last month (Bottler'secret 3L away third); heavy ground could have been too testing at Listowel last time so remains of interest back on better ground. |

Five-time winner, two on turf, both over a mile on good; in good form on the AW lately, won 1m4f handicap at Dundalk in February; 0.75l second to Unterberg 14 days ago on AW; needs a good pace to aim at and trip a bit sharp; soft ground would be a concern. |

Sprang a surprise in this race last year on heavy ground at 33-1, his sole career win; just 1lb higher now; poor on latest but may have needed that run after a 122-day absence; not well drawn but could go well, especially if there is a lot of rain. |
