C&D winner last summer during a spell of good form (Flat and hurdles); unplaced in two runs on Flat since a fair sixth at 100-1 in a valuable Fairyhouse handicap hurdle in April; one place behind Putapoundinthejar then. |

Was a 28-1 shot on debut at Killarney but he belied those odds with a fine run in second, beaten just 2.25l; should be thereabouts again with a repeat of that; obvious chance. |

Renaissance Man gelding was unsold as a 3yo; second foal; dam unraced sister to useful 2m4f-3m1f hurdle/chase winner Dursey Sound; not a lot of appeal on paper and probably best watched on debut. |

December's Doncaster second (3m, good to soft) suggested a sound future as a stayer, so it's disappointing he has not always seen out mostly shorter trips since, beaten 26l over almost 2m5f latest. |

Maiden gelding by Frankel; started his career with the Gosdens; has shown potential for a belated breakthrough in his two most recent races; recovered from interference at the start to finish fourth over this trip at Down Royal in May; leading contender based on his second to solid yardstick Jurality over 1m5f at Navan; same good 7lb claimer aboard now. |

Maiden produced one of his better efforts on latest when not far behind a couple of these rivals at Down Royal (2m, good); place shout if he backs that up, but overall profile suggests that's not guaranteed. |

Winning hurdler for Noel Meade; regressive on Flat in recent years until much more encouraging run at Limerick on Saturday, coming from some way back under 7lb claimer when beaten a head/neck over 1m4f (good); Billy Lee now takes over and major claims off same mark but draw a negative. |

Limerick maiden winner last year (2m1f, good) and finished good third in the Lartigue at Listowel; easily best run since and just beginning his challenge (going well) when unseating two out here in May in race won by Burru over 2m4f; poor Listowel run later in month and has had a break since (upped in trip). |

Limerick maiden hurdle winner this time last year (2m1f, good); travelling smoothly and looked likely to be involved in the finish when sprawling and unseating at the second last at Limerick last time off this mark (2m4f, good to yielding); lightly raced and dangerous if repeating; good third in the Lartigue (2m, good to yielding) in other run at this track. |

Showed ability for Gordon Elliott, finishing third on Cork debut (2m maiden, soft; 14-1); remote fourth on first start for this trainer at Uttoxeter last September; still early days but this represents a tough handicap debut off a 174-day absence. |

Well held in handicap hurdle outings; added a second win over timber in January when landing a Cork rated novice hurdle (2m1f, yielding to soft); followed up on AW to notch a second Flat win; cheekpieces go back on after he was tailed off in a Fairyhouse novice handicap hurdle last month (2m, yielding to soft). |

Dual French Flat winner on soft in 2024, who also won a Listowel maiden hurdle last June; he's seemingly sparked only once in six starts since and while he brings a solid AW record, none of that's much beyond 1m4f; his trainer (same as Alphonse Le Grande) always warrants a second look, though. |

Off the mark over C&D on seasonal return here in May (good); up 5lb in the ratings, while his 5lb claimer has also been replaced; nonetheless, he took a couple of bumps in the course of his win and may improve for that first run back too; big player. |

One of three for yard; 0-6 and yet to trouble the judge; poor effort latest but he didn't run badly here over 22.5f (gd-yld) on his handicap debut on penultimate, making late gains and shaping like 3m might suit; may outrun odds if handles easier ground. |
