Comanche Moon (G)
Lightly-raced maiden caught the eye on handicap debut but was weak in the market when pulled up subsequently in March. Bred to stay further than this and still warrants a market check on return.

Donnrua Dream (G)
[BT]
Justified strong support to capitalise on a falling mark/end a long losing run at Limerick (15.7f, heavy, 17/2) 16 days ago. Likely to be in the mix if in same form here.

Max Meridius (G)
Showed ability on bumper debut but modest maiden on Flat and has seemingly been campaigned with handicaps in mind over hurdles. One to note for support.

Potters Pal (G)

Failed to improve for switch to handicaps/first-time tongue tie at Punchestown latest, never landing a blow.

Harty Cup (G)
FAV
Placed sole outing in points. Fourth of 15 on handicap debut at Gowran Park (12/1) 35 days ago, making more impact than previously. Lightly-raced 5-y-o is open to further improvement and makes plenty of appeal.

Cry Before Dawn (M)

Struggled to land a blow in three maiden hurdle starts but pedigree offers hope of better now sent handicapping.

Nukie's Artic (G)
Goes handicapping after making no impact over various trips in maidens. Bred to need further than this.

Falcon Park (G)

Latest win came over C&D in January but yet to fire for current yard. Could only consider if supported.

La Tene (M)
Showed a bit in maidens in 2024 but tailed off over a circuit out on return from 2 years off at Thurles last month. Hard to be confident on handicap debut.

King Bob (G)
Has shown promise in handicap hurdles, largely backing up previous run when third of 18 at Punchestown (3/1 fav) 57 days ago, unable to sustain big move into contention. Leading claims if handling softer conditions.
