8st 9lb |
Has has improved significantly since blinkers were added, completing a Dundalk hat-trick (1m-1m4f) in December /January and even better form when second of 12 to Penzance over 1m2f at Lingfield five weeks ago; there's nothing wrong with that form so he's yet another who has to enter the reckoning. |

1st Mar 2024 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Lightly raced on AW in Ireland but he has improved significantly since blinkers were added, most recently running away with a 1m handicap at Dundalk in January (taking him to 3-3 in headgear); no issue with the longer trip (won over 1m4f on penultimate start) but a 13lb rise for last time (raised a total of 28lb for the three wins), allied to significantly stronger opposition, could leave him vulnerable; his tendency to hang sharply right won't be an asset here either. |

Ordinary form since joining this stable from Adrian Keatley for whom he won two handicaps on quick ground, back-to-back in April 2022; rated 72 at this peak, now down to 48; hard to be confident, but perhaps unwise to write him off. |

10st 0lb |
Recorded third turf win earlier this month at Roscommon under positive ride from today's rider (1m4f, good), overcoming wide draw and having been hampered; 5lb rise takes her back to a near career-high mark so interesting to see if she can back that up. |

Heavily-raced gelding recorded a seventh AW win recently; turf record is less persuasive (3-71), though some encouragement can be taken from last month's third of 20 at Leopardstown. |

Six-time course winner with his last win coming over 7f here in March last year off 72; modest 3-71 strike-rate on turf but excellent third of 20 over 1m at Leopardstown 11 days ago, headed in closing stages; big player in current mood under 10lb claimer. |

Maiden after eight starts; absent since a below-par run in claimer at Ballinrobe last June; coped well with this surface in two runs here at the end of her juvenile career, third in a maiden on the first occasion, resulting in an initial handicap mark of 81; now down to 66, should not be ruled out |
