Always Scoring (G)
€20,000 3-y-o, Mahler gelding. Brother to fair 2½m hurdle winner Transfer Friendly and modest hurdler/fair chaser Ballynaheer. Dam unraced. Off mark in points at second attempt (Jan 10) but starts life under Rules in a competitive maiden.

Desmond George (G)
No better than modest form in trio of bumper starts, latest well held fourth at this course on his return earlier this month. Needs to improve to make a winning hurdle debut.

Eagle's Quest (G)
FAV
Had some creditable bumper form and is gradually improving over hurdles, finishing ahead of All Night Revival/Fabhcun when runner-up in 2m Gowran maiden (heavy) last time. Entitled to be in the mix.

Elbow Lane (G)
€6,500 3-y-o, Getaway gelding. Dam (h92), maiden hurdler (stayed 2½m), half-sister to fairly useful chaser (stayed 2¾m) Roger Beantown out of 2m hurdle winner Best Wait. Third sole start in points (Nov 2025) and may prove stable second-str…

Fabhcun (G)
From a useful staying family and shaped accordingly when fifth at Gowran Park on debut last month. Reopposes a pair who finished ahead of him and he's likely to improve for that experience.

All Night Revival (G)
Runner-up in a point and well-backed to fill same spot on bumper debut for Nigel Slevin. Shaped with encouragement from less-than-ideal position when fourth on hurdle/stable debut at Gowran and further progress expected.

Simply Natural (M)
Successful sole outing in points and best effort in bumpers when narrowly pipped by subsequent Grade 2 placed Tiktok Casey (below form last time). In good hands to bounce back and looks an interesting hurdle debutante.
