D Art D Art (G)
Useful on his day, finished eighth in Pertemps Final at Cheltenham in March. Below form both starts since, however latest at Fairyhouse came on the back of a 9-month absence. Could step forward.

[P]
Very useful chaser shaped better than the result in Grade 3 handicap at Leopardstown last time and looks interesting off significantly lower hurdles mark.

Minella Sixo (G)

Yet to fire this season, well beaten sixth in listed handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (24.1f, heavy, 33/1) 20 days ago. Both career wins have come with returning Jack Kennedy in the plate, though.

Veteran hasn't backed up a career-best reappearance win at Navan in February. Questions to answer.

Melbourne Shamrock (G)

[P1]
Promising sort who showed much improved form when close second in Fairyhouse novice and wasn't given a hard time when fourth at Navan last month. In very capable hands and can progress again now handicapping in first-time cheekpieces.

Ontheropes (G)
Best effort for a while when runner-up at Gowran last month but did nothing in a hurry when well held third of 5 behind Well Dell on Wednesday. Losing run stretches back to 2021.

Hartur D'arc (G)

Pulled up over hurdles at Leopardstown earlier this month. Cheekpieces on first-time but possibly being campaigned with bigger targets over fences in mind.

Well Del (G)
Showed a good attitude to make a winning stable debut in 5-runner handicap hurdle at Punchestown (24.8f, heavy, 3/1) 4 days ago. In deeper waters now and isn't an obvious type to follow up under a penalty.

No show in either start since winning at Clonmel in November. Something to prove at present.
