Was gaining a 12th win (five in claimers) on the Flat when taking Ballinrobe handicap last month in some style under today's rider; two days later folded quite tamely once headed over shorter trip at Naas, that race may have come too soon; veteran respected. |

11 time winner on the Flat; some good runs for Rebecca Menzies, highlighted by a selling handicap hurdle win last December and two placed efforts over 1m4f at Catterick in April; his stable debut 12 days ago at Limerick was okay when seventh of 12 (1m3f, good); declared to run in 7.50 Ballinrobe on Monday. |

Winner of a handicap at Navan for Willie McCreery in October (1m2f, good) off 5lb higher; he hit the line strongly that day and was a winner of a 2m maiden hurdle at the same venue in March (heavy); he needs to overcome a poor run last time out but the trip of today's race looks like it could unlock further improvement from him. |

Won a Bellewstown handicap off a 4lb lower mark in October (1m4f, good); she hung right up the straight at Gowran last time but stayed on into second (1m4f, good); the tongue tie added on that occasion is now discarded; she has a chance. |

Dual-purpose sort; won a Limerick maiden hurdle (2m, good) in April; won her final Flat start last year at Bellewstown (1m4f, yielding) off 64; beaten favourite at Roscommon two weeks ago, appears well held by runner-up Action Plan but may find her form again with cheekpieces fitted. |

Has been knocking on the door again this season, running well in defeat in each of his last three starts; however, handicapper probably has his measure and all his best recent efforts have come over a fair bit further than this. |

Won this race last year from a 4lb lower mark; not great this term prior to a solid second over C&D last month and followed that up with a promising third of 21 at Navan this month (1m6f, good); back in form and could put in a bold show |

First reserve; hurdles win came at Ballinrobe in 2023 but more recently won Tipperary Flat handicap in May; big hike anchored him last time but clearly in good heart and respected back hurdling. |

Received a hefty 10lb hike for winning at Tipperary most recently (1m4f, good); he was unplaced on the Flat prior to that win and his hurdling starts were tame so he comes with caution advised. |
