Barry Lyndon (G)
[T]
Useful hurdler who made perfect start in this sphere when landing small field maiden at Fairyhouse (21.2f) in October. Shaped as if amiss when last of 5 in novice back at that venue in December but he remains with potential back from a bre…

C'est Ta Chance (G)
Useful winner at 19f over hurdles who shaped only fourth best for most of the way before staying on to lead late to open chase account in a Gowran maiden 920f, heavy) 6 weeks ago. Open to further improvement, for all a return to 3m+ may su…

Fleur In The Park (G)
Has taken well to chasing, confirming previous promise when off the mark in a Wexford maiden (2m) in October. Similar form without convincing with finishing effort when runner-up in Grade 2 a month later but he's very much of interest back…

Nowwhatdoyouthink (G)
[T]
Is going the right way over fences and really impressed when bagging 15-runner maiden chase at Cork (21.2f, soft, 8/1) in November, hard held. Promises to do better still on that evidence but this demands much more up in class.

Soldier In Milan (G)

Winning pointer who was also successful only start in bumpers. Very much going the right way over fences, confirming promise of his close-up Gowran fourth when off the mark in a Punchestown maiden (3m) 18 days ago. Looks sure to go well ag…

Jalila Moriviere (M)
[T]
Fairly useful hurdler who made it first time lucky over fences at Sligo (17.5f) in October. Underwhelming display when third in mares' Grade 2 at Cork in December but she's been given a break ahead of this and could yet resume progress.
