Ended a long losing sequence with a 10.5f Cork win last month under this rider (good to yielding) off 5lb lower; didn't appear to appreciate drop to 7f back at Cork last time when staying on for seventh (short head behind Dark Viper); others more likely. |

Seven-time winner, last win at Dundalk in February 2024 off 3lb higher; some good efforts last year, including over this trip on the AW, and creditable run in the circumstances (slowly away) at the Curragh on latest under today's rider; one to consider. |

Four-time winner here including handicap over this trip on this card last year off 67; joined yard after second in C&D claimer in March but yet to run anywhere near his rating on turf, latest in Roscommon claimer; should appreciate return to AW. |

Third career win came on final start last season in 1m Listowel Listed in testing conditions under a positive ride (just a day after being well beaten in handicap); balance of form is over shorter than this so others preferred on seasonal return. |

Top rated at 98 and mostly in good form this season; beaten 1.75l when second in a 1m5f Ballinrobe handicap on latest in July; placed in listed company at Chester (12.5f soft) a year ago but this trip surely on the sharp side; fifth 4.20 here on Monday. |

Four-time winner but last win came two years ago; however, went close at Ballinrobe last time when stepped back up in trip to 1m5f and many of his better efforts have come on softer ground so this should be up his alley; interesting. |

Almost two years since he gained the last of his six wins (four at this venue); has been slow to come down the handicap but there was encouragement from his run last time and he could be a player. |

Eight-time winner, with six on the Flat and two over hurdles; had some struggles during the winter but he showed signs of a revival at Wolverhampton (fourth of 12) last month and is now 5lb lower than for his win at Nottingham in the autumn (1m2f); handles most ground and has possibilities if he gets a good pace back at this trip. |
