Four-time Flat winner; useful maiden hurdle form including when a staying third in a 2m maiden hurdle at Galway last week; this trip should suit and he probably does not have to improve to land this.

Four Flat wins and is rated 89 in that sphere; was never involved in the Connacht Hotel handicap here five days ago; best hurdle run when second at Killarney last time, a mistake at the last costing him; should be in the mix.

Form & Verdict
Three wins from seven starts at this track when in Adrian Murray's care; struggled in good company over C&D last time on yard debut; sights lowered significantly now, as is the case with stablemate Tyson Fury, who should have his measure again.

Form & Verdict
Generally reliable performer at this venue, five wins and 11 places from 35 starts; went close in a 1m4f handicap two weeks ago; good claimer aboard but has to give weight to two higher-rated stablemates.

Seven-time AW winner (7f-1m4f) when trained in Ireland, latterly in a Dundalk claimer in March; has failed to make the frame in 13 starts on grass, though, hence his much lower turf mark; lots to prove for his new yard.

Most recent run was over hurdles; before that, a fair fifth in a 1m Killarney handicap, a run good enough to bring her into the equation here; most of her best form has been at Killarney.

Won on good and the AW when trained in Britain; added a third career success a month ago at Dundalk where she went off pretty quick in the new blinkers and just held on (80-1); whether this will pan out so favourably is questionable.
