10st 1lb

J: J M Sheridan

T: Joseph Patrick O’Brien

Two bumper wins and was gaining a second win on the Flat when readily taking 1m6f Gowran handicap in April (soft); 8lb higher and quicker ground to contend with (has won on good).

J: Declan McDonogh

Two bumper wins and added a 1m5f Down Royal Flat maiden to her haul last year; below form at Bellewstown when last seen but is a big player if ready on return; the market could guide.

J: Mr J L Gleeson

T: Joseph Patrick O’Brien

Dual bumper winner got off the mark on the Flat in a 1m5f Down Royal maiden before a cracking handicap run over a similar trip to this at Galway; up another 4lb but has to be taken seriously.

9st 12lb

J: Scott McCullagh

T: Joseph Patrick O’Brien

One of two for yard; dual-bumper winner (including Listed) on heavy and soft; left moderate two first Flat runs behind when winning at Down Royal (1m5f, good); opening mark looks fair but this a tough assignment on handicap bow.

J: Scott McCullagh

T: Joseph Patrick O’Brien

Two-time bumper winner (including a Listed) on testing ground; has failed to fire in two starts on the Flat, beaten 13l on good ground at Ballinrobe (9.5f) and 18.5l on easy ground at Tipperary (12.5f); may need softer conditions.
