J: Sean Levey

T: John Butler

Useful handicapper at around 1m earlier in his career; retains some ability but stamina for this trip is an obvious query.

9st 8lb

J: Sean Levey

T: John Butler

Without a win since April 2024 and his best run for this stable came when fourth of 12 at Newcastle (1m, AW) in July; below that level in two starts since, including one over this C&D, and others are more likely to give their running.

9st 11lb

J: Sean Levey

T: John Butler

Without a win since April 2024; just three runs for this yard, the standout being his fourth over 1m on the AW; wouldn't be the most solid option but has more races in him and this ground will be fine.

9st 7lb

J: David Egan

T: John Butler

His last win was in April 2024 but he hasn't been with John Butler for long and he showed signs of a revival when fourth at Newcastle (1m, AW) last month; has claims if he can build on that and he should be fine back at this trip.

10st 1lb

J: Jack Gilligan

T: John Butler

A useful 1m winner at his best for Jack Channon; offered little in two runs for Brian Toomey this spring though and came in last of 14 for John Butler in 7f handicap here four weeks ago; no surprise if he took a step forward though with new yard among the winners.
