Doctor Steinberg (G)
[H1]
Useful bumper winner who won first 3 starts over hurdles, building on Navan Grade 2 when impressively landing Leopardstown Grade 1 (Kazansky second). However, pulled too hard in the Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham since and connections now r…

Dream On Mick (G)
Won his second start in Irish points in January and made a winning debut under Rules in Carlisle maiden 25 days ago but this looks hugely ambitious.

Espresso Milan (G)
Just fair form in bumpers for Fergal O'Brien and made a very bright starts over hurdles for this yard, winning maiden/novice first 2 starts. However, pulled away his chance in the Albert Bartlett after and needs to settle down if he's to m…

Frankie John (G)
Bumper/maiden hurdle winner. Highly tried this year but took a big step forward in first-time headgear when 4½ lengths fourth of 12 in Grade 1 Sefton Hurdle at Aintree 19 days ago, looking well served by the increased test of stamina. Not …

Fruit De Mer (G)
Point winner. First past the post (subsequently demoted) in bumper last season. Made a successful start over hurdles in maiden at Naas and most progressive in Grade 1 events since, running a cracker over this longer distance when second of…

Generous Risk (G)
Expensive point recruit who settled better than in bumpers when making a successful hurdle debut at Leopardstown. Beaten only by the hugely exciting He's On Fire in Grade 2 at Fairyhouse since but that form still a long way short of what i…

Hipop De Loire (G)
[P]
Useful stayer on Flat who found the demands of an Albert Bartlett too much on just his third start over hurdles. Excuses at Fairyhouse since but firmly up against it back at this level.

I Started A Joke (G)

Progressive sort who readily landed the odds in maiden here (2m). Good second on handicap debut at Leopardstown next time before better than bare result when third in Fairyhouse Grade 2 (rider lost irons briefly after mistake at the first)…

Kazansky (G)
Brought down on hurdles bow but won next 2 starts, including Limerick Grade 2 (23f, heavy) over Christmas. However, proved no match for Doctor Steinberg in Leopardstown Grade 1 and struggled in the Albert Bartlett since.

Le Frimeur (G)
Irish point winner who is 2 from 2 under Rules, responding well when defying a penalty in Newbury novice 6 weeks ago. That form has been boosted since but this represents a big step up in class.

Love Me Tender (G)
Highly impressive when making it 3-3 in Grade 3 at Tipperary. Progress has rather stalled in better company since but step up in trip could suit if settling.

Spinningayarn (G)
Bumper winner who built on hurdles bow/return to win Fairyhouse maiden and novice here (19f) in January. Acquitted himself well upped significantly in class when 10 lengths fifth of 22 in Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham since but more needed…

The Passing Wife (G)
Useful bumper winner. Has only a maiden win to his name over hurdles but that won't be for long judged on his excellent third in the Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham, looking well suited by the step up in trip. Needs considering.

Zanoosh (M)

Thriving mare who took the step up in class in her stride when making it 5 on the bounce in Grade 1 (for mares) at Fairyhouse earlier this month, getting to the front courtesy of another swift leap at the last. Big chance back against the …
