Third reserve; stablemate of Let Him B; well handicapped judged on last week's hurdle win at Clonmel; could be much too good for these rivals if getting a run. |

Has a very patchy profile but would be a player judged on his penultimate third at Clonmel (16.5f, heavy); looked held when brought down two out at that track three weeks ago; market will reveal expectations. |

Not a bad effort on handicap debut after long absence when fifth at Thurles in November; unseated, brought down next two starts; tailed off at Limerick before a much-improved display at this venue four weeks ago. |

Off the mark at the 18th attempt at Listowel (2m5f, good to yielding) last time when 2.25l ahead of Illtakehimmyself; up 5lb but he should go well once again. |

0-17 but has run okay at times; 6l fourth of 14 at Limerick (2m4f, soft to heavy) last time was positive but best form is on softer ground. |

Off the mark at the 15th attempt at Punchestown last month (2m4f, soft), making all and scoring by 0.5l; the runner-up, third and fifth have all won since; 8lb higher but should still make another bold bid. |

No sign of winning potential in four maiden runs over the winter; stable had first winner since November 2024 at Cork this month so is worth a market check on her handicap debut. |

Good runs in defeat over 2m1f at Thurles on soft to heavy (keeping on and beaten a neck) and when a distant third at Cork (2m1f, yielding); tailed off at Limerick last time, but he's interesting now upped to this trip. |

Soundly beaten in three maidens in 2024 for Declan Queally; tailed off at Naas in January; much-improved second of 17 at Thurles in February, staying on strongly to be beaten a neck (16.5f, soft to heavy); raised 8lb at Cork, got going too late to take third on yielding; this trip will suit. |

Dual hurdles winner with his latest win being a C&D victory in January last year off 87 (soft) for Paul Hennessy; best effort for current yard was when runner-up behind a well handicapped rival here on heavy in February; hasn't matched that effort since. |

Winless from 14 but went close on several occasions in 2023; beaten 34l in both starts since returning from 800-day absence; good ground and addition of blinkers need to transform him. |
