9st 6lb |
Likeable front running veteran goes well here; last won over C&D in May 2025 off this mark and was beaten a neck in this race last year, again off this mark; showed he retained ability when second at Fairyhouse in May; trip was too far on latest, could make a bold bid. |

Veteran won over 1m4f at Roscommon last year and was second at Fairyhouse in May; two Galway wins among his career tally of eight, so not a forlorn hope despite advancing years; second reserve. |

11st 7lb |
Better known as a smart four-time hurdles winner; good recent form when fourth in the Galway Hurdle off a mark of 132, roughly the same ability as Samui; also a capable Flat performer but his 81 rating makes him 23lb inferior to Samui in this sphere. |

9st 8lb |
20-race maiden; in the frame in five of his six course outings including over 1m4f last month; poor run at the Curragh since but respected back here for a yard that get winners in claimers. |

Is frustratingly still a maiden after 19 starts but has run well plenty of times including second over 1m4f at Dundalk last time; this trip suits better; disappointing previous time with cheekpieces; best on good ground. |

9st 7lb |
Gained a second Flat win of her career at Tramore 15 days ago (1m4f, gd-yld); up 7lb but has won off 1lb higher before so this mark not beyond her but probably wouldn't want to see too much rain. |

Dual-purpose; won a 2m2f maiden hurdle (good) here last September; placed in a Listed 4yo hurdle at Musselburgh in February before well beaten off 124 in the Fred Winter; modest efforts on Flat the last twice; has won on soft on the level; could prove to be the main danger. |

Dual-purpose; 2-6 on turf on the Flat, both wins coming over 1m4f under this rider at Cork off 50 (soft) and off 64 (good) last season; pleasing return to the level at Ballinrobe (1m5f, good) ten days ago after a spell over timber; just 3lb above last win now and trip and ground fine; chance. |

Dual-purpose; has won three of his last four, two over hurdles and on the Flat at Gowran on latest; raised 11lb for his latest win over timber at Naas (18.5f, heavy) in January; this is harder but he did that easily and he is ground versatile; player. |
