First reserve; poor in handicaps overall but took the runner-up spot at Ballinrobe (2m6f, good) on his penultimate start last summer; this might be on the short side for stable debut.

SR 80 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .

Three-time hurdles winner returned to form when runner-up at Down Royal (2m1, soft, 7-2 fav') in final start for Gary McGill in January; unfancied and well beaten in two runs for new yard; may go well back in 0-100 company now.

Won a Kilbeggan bumper in 2023; returned from 558 days off at Ballinrobe last April when tailed off in a maiden hurdle; another long absence to overcome on handicap/stable debut.

Won a Kilbeggan maiden hurdle last summer over 2m and was third in handicaps at Tramore (2m5f, good) and Galway (2m1f, good to yielding); not at same level in more recent runs, tailed off at Tramore last time (2m1f, good to yielding).

Although weak in the market for her handicap debut here (2m4f, good to yielding, 40-1) last month, she was still in contention when falling at two out; chance if building on that

Debut point winner got off the mark over hurdles when successful over C&D (good) in July off 78; unable to go in again off revised mark in two subsequent starts here and at Downpatrick; creditable efforts over fences when last seen in October.

SR 79 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Five-time Flat winner (last win in 2024) but yet to trouble the judge in 12 starts over hurdles; some decent runs in defeat when last seen over the winter, finished fifth of 13 at Thurles (2m, good to yielding) and fifth of 20 at Down Royal (2m1f, yielding), flying home after being hampered by a faller; can't be ruled out.
