11st 9lb

J: Keith Donoghue

T: J P Dempsey

Dual-purpose; has won three of his last four, two over hurdles and on the Flat at Gowran on latest; raised 11lb for his latest win over timber at Naas (18.5f, heavy) in January; this is harder but he did that easily and he is ground versatile; player.

Dual-purpose winner scored over hurdles at Naas when last seen; won twice on the Flat over 1m2f in 2023; lost his form in this sphere last year but jockey booking takes the eye and considered.

J: Keith Donoghue

T: J P Dempsey

Two wins on the Flat; caught the eye of the stewards when fifth on his handicap debut at Gowran in October; won narrowly at Limerick before being raised in class off his revised mark at Leopardstown; satisfactory fourth then implies he could be involved here.

J: Jordan Gainford

T: J P Dempsey

Flat winner; mild promise in maiden hurdles and again on handicap hurdle debut at Gowran latest (16.5f, soft) when catching the attention of the stewards after meeting trouble in running; this better ground will suit and he could go well.

J: Keith Donoghue

T: J P Dempsey

Two-time winner on the Flat but looked regressive; has made little impression in three maiden hurdle runs, may do better now in handicaps but others more likely.
