Fairly useful gelding. C&D winner. Visored for 1st time, creditable second of 10 in handicap (10/1) at this C&D (soft) 5 days ago, no match for winner. Merits consideration in bid to follow-up last year's victory in this race.

Fairly useful filly. 15/2, confirmed her return to form when good third of 11 in handicap at Naas (5f, soft) 10 days ago, every chance entering final 1f and keeping on. Respected again with return to 6f holding no fears.

C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 12/1, bit below form fourteenth of 23 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 37 days ago, never better than midfield. Lurking on a very dangerous mark if things do click and conditions very much in her favour here.

Eased plenty in the weights this term and aided by a good position, he capitalised to land 15-runner handicap at this C&D (soft, 7/1) 17 days ago, tackled under 2f out and keeping on well. Possibilities with a repeat.

Kameko filly who shaped a bit better than distance beaten suggests on second start for new yard when eighth of 15 in handicap at this course (1m, soft, 50/1) 17 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and drop back in trip could see her in a better light.

C&D winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, below form seventh of 9 in handicap (10/1) at Bellewstown (7.9f, heavy) 19 days ago. Back down in trip. Blinkers back on but others make greater appeal judged on recent exploits.

Twice finished second in handicaps earlier this season and back to that sort of form when running on third of 9 in handicap at this C&D (soft) 17 days ago. Not discounted.

C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2024. Not disgraced when fourth of 14 in handicap (12/1) at Listowel (7.1f, soft) 28 days ago, faring best of those held up. Down to a handy mark on pick of last season's form.

C&D winner who stepped up on her reappearance run without returning to form when ninth of 18 in handicap at Fairyhouse (7f, good to soft, 22/1) 29 days ago. Will need to take another step forward if she's to figure here, however.

Impressive winner at Naas (6f) on heavy ground in March. Seen only twice subsequently, off 5 months prior to finishing last of 18 in handicap at Fairyhouse (6f, good to soft) 29 days ago, left poorly placed. Better showing on the cards with that run under his belt.

Lightly-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, proved far too free when last of 4 in minor event (66/1) at Roscommon (10.4f, soft) 8 days ago. Has it to prove returned to handicaps back at this much shorter trip.

It's now sixteen runs since last win in 2023 but probably in need of the run after 11 months off when twelfth of 18 in handicap at Navan (5f, good) 45 days ago, racing off the pace and never involved. Blinkers on 1st time and he's entitled to be sharper here. Market can guide.

JON RIGGENS was quickly back on track with a visor added when runner-up in a C&D handicap 5 days ago and, having come good this time last year (won this race from a 2 lb higher mark) he could well be ready to repeat the feat. Noble Nation arrives fresh for this time of year and ought to be all the better for his run at Fairyhouse 4 weeks ago, he's feared, as is recent C&D winner Smoke Them Out and Likedbymike.
