Comment: Bumper winner; rated 108 after six starts over hurdles; finished a 4l second of 15 in a Ballinrobe maiden (17.5f, good) on latest after a 138 day break; should strip fitter now and she's a big player.

5/1

Comment: Won a bumper on debut at Leopardstown (2m, yielding) in March; single-figure odds for both starts over hurdles (both at 20.5f) last month but beaten over 20l in both; capable of better but needs to brush up jumping dropped back in trip.

Comment: Left modest efforts in point-to-points behind with a fine 5l second behind a 119-rated rival over 2m1f here on his Rules' debut; the slight step up in trip should suit on breeding and he has to be on the shortlist, though there is room for improvement in his jumping.

Comment: Won a 19.5f Kilbeggan maiden hurdle (gd-yld) for the late Kevin Prendergast in July 2024; has been off since a below par run at Tramore just under a year ago; might need this first run for Ross O'Sullivan.

15/2

Comment: In good form, placing on his last three starts; arguably could have finished a bit closer in a lady rider's handicap at Wexford (2m4f, good) 11 days ago; just 1lb above last win and should be on the premises again.

Comment: Gained first win for over six years at Punchestown (3m, gd-yld) in June; respectable effort off 5lb higher on latest at Roscommon (24.5f, good); in good heart but not sure this drop in trip is a positive.

Comment: Below par on the Flat the last twice but shaped nicely when a 5.25l third on his last start over timber at Clonmel off this mark; he's 4lb above his last win so a bit more is needed to win.
