Is 1-16 on turf and no win since June 2023; not bad efforts the last twice in a Naas handicap and a Gowran claimer but more needed back in a handicap off this mark; others appeal more. |

Six-time C&D winner for John McConnell including this race in 2023 and 2024; modest efforts first two runs for this yard but is now 4lb below his last success and a big run would come as no surprise. |

Six-time winner on the AW; back from nearly a year off the track when sixth of 13 here (7f) behind a couple of today's rivals on stable debut; yard's runners highly respected at this track and he's entitled to strip fitter; wide draw. |

Four turf wins and last won on the AW over 2m in January 2025; beaten a neck off 89 at the Curragh (1m6f, good) last summer, more recently testing ground probably didn't suit at Navan in late March; trip/ground more in his favour here. |

Verdict
Jaafel makes obvious appeal on the strength of his recent form but THE BOG BANK could be up to the task if getting into a rhythm on the front end. She arrives here on the back of some rock-solid efforts in defeat. Chazzesmee won’t be far away if able to deliver his best on this surface, and similar sentiments apply to Knocknakilla. [Mark Boylan]
