Ol Man Dingle (G)
[T]
Matched useful hurdling form when winning a Galway maiden and Grade 3 novice at Cork on first 2 starts over fences, but has been below that level in 2 runs since, with his jumping letting him down in a valuable Cheltenham handicap last tim…

Funiculi Funicula (G)
Lightly-raced sort who confirmed the promise of his 2 outings in maiden chases when landing the odds at Cork (by ¾ length from Wingmen) earlier this month. Remains open to improvement on handicap debut and another bold show looks likely. T…

Port Joulain (G)
Stepped up markedly from chasing debut when seeing off 7 rivals in a Fairyhouse maiden (17f, soft) in January and backed that up when 5¾ lengths third of 5 to Jacob's Ladder in the Flyingbolt at Navan 62 days ago. Step back up in trip will…

Kiss Will (G)
Has quickly developed into a smart maiden chaser and looked the main threat to Soldier in Milan when departing at the third-last in the Irish Grand National 25 days ago. Marked drop in trip shouldn't be a problem and obvious claims if none…

Spread Boss Ted (G)
Matched the pick of his hurdling form when winning a 7-runner novice chase at Naas (2½m, soft) 54 days ago by ½ length from Ballygunner Castle, looking suited by the strong pace. Lacks the experience of the hustle and bustle of a large-fie…

You Oughta Know (G)

Off the mark in this sphere at Wexford last summer and posted his best effort yet when finding only Ol Man Dingle too good in a Cork Grade 3 novice in November. Below that level in valuable handicaps and Grade 3 novice at Limerick (½-lengt…

Ballygunner Castle (G)
Useful hurdler who has run to a similar level when runner-up on both completed starts in maiden chases, latterly beaten ½ length by Spread Boss Ted at Naas in March. Will need to step up on that form if he is to make an impact on handicap …

Wingmen (G)
Useful chaser placed all 4 starts in maidens but well held in the Golden Miller at Cheltenham in March on sole handicap outing. Chased home Funiculi Funicula at Cork on latest outing 26 days ago.

Anyway (G)
[PT]
Useful handicap hurdler who bettered that form over fences when second in the Golden Miller at the Cheltenham Festival in 2024/25, before winning a Kilbeggan maiden in June. Stretched by 3m trip since, including back over hurdles. Tongue t…

Shuffle The Deck (G)

Promising type who again caught the eye over fences when 11-length third of 12 to Come Walk With Me in a handicap chase at Fairyhouse earlier this month. The second has won off a similar mark since, and any further progress is likely to se…

Jet To Vegas (G)

Karamoja (M)

Left her first 2 chase runs behind when easily winning a 9-runner maiden at Thurles in March and caught the eye with how smoothly she travelled when fourth of 12 to Come Walk With Me in a listed novice handicap at Fairyhouse last time. Thi…

Noble Park (G)
Progressive novice who jumps well and has won 3 of his 5 starts over fences, including an 8-runner handicap chase at Newbury by 4¼ lengths from Rodney. Up 9 lb, but that form has worked out extremely well and could play a leading role if t…

Yoradreamer (G)
Took his form up another notch when making the most of a good opportunity in a 4-runner novice chase at Wexford (25f, heavy) 45 days ago, but faces a completely different test back down in trip and switched to a handicap of this nature. Up…

Norn Iron (G)
[T]
Has improved of late, winning handicap chases at Sandown in January (novice event) and March, the latter by 4½ lengths from Toothless. Clearly open to further progress, and his yard has successfully raided this meeting in the past, though …

He's Gorgeous (G)
Won a Clonmel maiden chase in December and has held his form in varied events since, including when a creditable fifth of 12 in a handicap chase at Naas (2½m, heavy) 68 days ago. This is likely too competitive, however.

I Am Lorenzo (G)
Lightly-raced chaser who made a perfect start over fences when winning a Fairyhouse maiden in January, but has failed to build on that in 2 small-field novices since (beaten by Raglan Road in latter). Needs to produce more than he has show…

Raglan Road (G)
Belatedly matched his fairly useful hurdling form over fences when winning a 7-runner novice chase at Down Royal 45 days ago by ½ length from Slanagaibhgoleir. Harry Cobden now takes the ride and, now up and running, he may have more to of…

Da Capo Glory (G)

Very useful hurdler at his best who took a step back in the right direction when eighth of 24 in the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham 49 days ago. Has not pulled up any trees in 3 previous chase starts, but is well treated on hurdling form if abl…

Al Kalila (G)

Landed gamble in Catterick handicap hurdle on return and then advanced his form over fences, off the mark at the second attempt when dictating at Sandown last month. Let down by jumping last time, though, and will find it difficult to domi…

Park Of Kings (G)
[T]
Yet to come close to matching hurdles form over fences and, while he's shaped as if having a bigger performance in him as chaser, his jumping left a lost to be desired last time. Difficult to make a case for. RESERVE.
