Irish Ballet (F)
[T]
Third in fairly useful maiden at Naas in June 2024 but was absent for 18 months before returning with sixth of 13 in maiden at this C&D (28/1) 16 days ago, probably needing the run and failing to settle. Could do better on handicap debut.

Sporting Hero (G)
[B]
Won this race off 5 lb higher mark last year but struggling for form of late, well beaten in 11th of 13 in 6f handicap at this course (13/2) 16 days ago. No surprise to see him bounce back down in grade.

Billboa (G)
All 3 career wins at Dundalk (2 at this C&D including 2024 renewal of this race), latest when completing a hat-trick in March 2024. Not in same form since an absence, too free in first-time cheekpieces (removed) over 6f handicap here 16 da…

Bold Optimist (G)
[P]
Win and third from 2 starts here and latest success came at Curragh in August 2024 but out of sorts last summer, including when eighth of 15 in handicap at Tipperary (8/1) in August. Off since but has gone well fresh and he's one to consid…

Inishmot Prince (G)
[V]
Prolific course winner with 10 victories at the track, ending a long losing run on latest start. Won 6f handicap here (7/1) 16 days ago, capitalising on a mark 20 lb lower than his last winning one. Up 5 lb but remains well treated on old …

Arctic Steps (F)
[P]
Changed yards multiple times and won at this C&D in first-time cheekpieces 11 weeks ago. Sixth of 7 in handicap at Dundalk (14/1) 28 days ago, disappointing on first outing since leaving P. Mulligan.

Jered Maddox (G)
Hasn't won since March and was last of 13 in handicap at Dundalk over 6f (18/1) 16 days ago, slowly into stride and never involved. Dropped 5 lb and back down in trip but plenty to prove.

Vibrato (G)
Yet to show much since leaving L J Morgan's yard last autumn and was tenth of 13 in handicap at this course (33/1) 16 days ago, raced off the pace and never involved. Eases in grade and worth a market check with Colin Keane taking over in …

Bennu (C)
Showed bit more on handicap bow when sixth of 14 at this C&D (8/1) 21 days ago, close up early but took a strong hold before no extra in final half-furlong. Needs to settle better if he's to make more impact.

Hasiyna (M)
All three career victories have come at Dundalk and she confirmed return to form winning in a 12-runner handicap at this C&D (6/1) 58 days ago. Backed that up off 5 lb higher when runner-up here (6f) on Wednesday and cannot be discounted i…

Subiaco (G)

Showed first form when opening his account on polytrack debut at this C&D (28/1) 21 days ago despite still looking rough around the edges under pressure. Out of the handicap following a 9 lb rise but lightly raced and could have more to of…

Lady Landhort (F)
[P]
No impact finishing down the field in three maiden races before handicap debut at this C&D (20/1) 21 days ago when proving too free in first-time cheekpieces and finishing thirteenth of 14. May be better than she's shown so far but remains…
