11st 12lb

J: Ben Harvey

T: Karl Thornton

Three Flat wins from 39 starts; latest success was over 1m4f on Dundalk AW in May; unplaced at Bellewstown last Thursday; previous hurdles form leaves him in need of major improvement.

Shanroe

10st 6lb

J: Daniel King

T: Karl Thornton

Veteran, 6-22 Flat, 2-16 hurdles; no win of any description since 2023; up against it on the evidence of his recent reappearance in a handicap at Navan.

Shanroe

11st 1lb

J: Ben Harvey

T: Karl Thornton

Veteran is 2-15 over hurdles; hasn't won a race of any description since 2023 and was out of form last year in both codes; on the upside, he returns from a break with yard amongst winners and has gone well fresh in the past.
