Flat winner; dual victories over hurdles include a C&D win; just 0.5l behind subsequent Galway Hurdle winner Putapoundinthejar at Bellewstown last month (2m1f, good), winner now rated 14lb higher; not a bad effort on the Flat at Galway last time (1m4f, yielding to soft); interesting. |

Dual-purpose sort has been soundly beaten on recent Flat runs but ran a cracker over hurdles at Bellewstown last time; chance if converting that back to this sphere. |

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. |

9st 1lb |
Maiden gelding by Frankel; has shown potential for a belated breakthrough in his three Flat runs this term, the latest when sixth over C&D (4-1 fav), where today's rider was banned for stopping riding late on (4.5l behind Lariat); others more appealing. |

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. |

Had useful maiden form at three for Noel Meade and landed maiden hurdle last summer; hit form for this yard when close third over 1m4f at Limerick, and kept on steadily when beaten 4l over extended 1m3f at Killarney; waited with lately, so wide draw won't matter much. |

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. |

Sole success came over 2m1f at Limerick in May last year; looked like he might add to his tally when unseating two out at Killarney in May (20.5f, gd-yld) and 2lb lower now; 2m7f-3m perhaps too far the last twice, could rebound back in trip. |

Limerick maiden winner last year and finished good third in the Lartigue at Listowel; easily best run since and just beginning his challenge (going well) when unseating two out at Killarney in May, most recently would have gone closer but for pecking two out at same venue last month over 2m7f; remains of interest; also due to run here yeasterday (3.12). |

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). |

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. |
