Second reserve; won at Clonmel in October (2m7f, yielding); in the lead when falling at the last off revised mark at Thurles (2m7f, gd-yld); just 2lb higher now and could go well if ready after break.

Point winner off the mark in a 2m6f novice handicap (good) at Down Royal last month; 7lb rise for that 7l win looks fair and it is partly negated by rider's 7lb claim; should go well again.

Veteran is 0-9 over hurdles; has placed on a couple of occasions but his best handicap efforts have come on testing ground; rain would boost chance but lacks a recent run.

SR 82 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Breakthrough win when upped to 3m1f at Cork earlier this month with cheekpieces fitted, appreciating better ground when rallying late on after being headed by favourite; 6lb higher but conditions again to suit and could have more to offer.

Has generally struggled since winning at Galway (22.5f, good) last September; a bit better when a plugging-on third of 16 at Tramore (2m5f, gd-yld) on latest but was 16l behind the winner; longer trip here a plus.

Best run in maidens an 8l second of 16 at Naas in December (2m3f, sft-hvy); handled quicker ground when a 4.75l third in second handicap start at Cork (24.5f, good) 16 days ago; this shorter trip will suit on the evidence of that run; in the mix.

Standout effort a 4.75l second of 20 off this mark at Punchestown last October (2m4f, gd-yld); pulled up on return from a 138-day break at Down Royal latest (3m, good); may have needed that and not discounted.

Longstanding maiden has plenty of placed efforts to his name over fences and hurdles, including a C&D third in March from 2lb higher; below best in two starts since; place shout but hard to fancy for win purposes.

Won a chase at Limerick in 2023 but 0-13 over hurdles and yet to trouble the judge; cheekpieces go on after a moderate run over fences at Clonmel on latest; 4lb lower in this sphere but others appeal more.

Maiden was a decent third over fences at Sligo in October but failed to back that up in two starts the following month; 13l fourth in this last year but had the benefit of a recent run; might need this after a break.

Hinted that this sort of trip might suit when staying on for a 12l fifth of 16 at Clonmel (2m3f, soft) in March; poor over 2m4f at Tramore latest, however, and has to prove her effectiveness on good ground.
