Acheron (G)
Lightly-raced maiden on Flat (fair form - stays 1¼m) but entitled to need the run/experience sent hurdling by new yard following 13 months off.

Bruise Hill (G)
Valirann gelding. Dam (h67), lightly raced over hurdles, half-sister to useful hurdler (2m winner) Mister Blue Sky. Unplaced completed start in points (Nov 2025) and likely one for the longer-term.

Captains Speech (G)
FAV
€20,000 3-y-o, El Salvador gelding. Dam unraced sister to useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Jennys Melody. Easy winner sole start in points in Apr 2024 (next 5 have all won under Rules since) and though returning from nearly 2 years off, he's wor…

Jackmoon (G)
[T]
Below fair bumper form when well held second on hurdles debut at Gowran and possibly amiss when pulled up at Punchestown in December.

Danny Mullins | J P Flavin | 7 | 75.3 kg |

| 7th | 5 | — |
Le Roi Du Livet (G)
Ran now-fairly useful Barra Rua close in bumper and best effort over hurdles when third in Naas maiden in January. In the mix if bouncing back to that sort of form.

Sean Flanagan | P Fenton | 5 | 75.3 kg |

| 12th | 6 | — |
Mor Go Leor (G)
Double Eclipse gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner Ballagh. Dam, lightly-raced maiden, out of sister to top-class staying chaser Jodami. Successful on second of 2 starts in points (runner-up since won Rules bumper). Warrants a second lo…

Pavilion End (G)
[H]
Fairly useful on Flat. Suspended for 60 days over jumps having been considerately handled on qualifying run at Punchestown (2m) in October (well held on Flat latest). Likely to do better at some stage and market will offer plenty of clues.

Gavin Brouder | C O'Brien | 6 | 75.3 kg |

| — | 8 | — |
Roc Of Love (G)
Shirocco gelding. Dam, unraced, half-sister to high-class hurdler/top-class chaser (stayed 3m) Monet's Garden. Yard isn't a frequent source of debut winners.

Niall Moore | D M O'Brien | 6 | 75.3 kg |

Royal Gladiator (G)
FAV
Chased home subsequent listed bumper winner on Rules debut (Le Roi Du Livet back in fourth) and again shaped with plenty of encouragement when fourth on hurdles bow at Leopardstown (2½m) in December. Looks sure to progress.

Keith Donoghue | Ian Donoghue | 5 | 75.3 kg |

Sam's Favourite (G)
Refused on debut earlier this month and easy to look elsewhere.

Simon Torrens | P T Foley | 5 | 75.3 kg |

Secret Order (G)
Unpromising in points and always behind on hurdle debut earlier this month.

| 9th | 12 | — |
Spanish Hero (G)
[T1]
Spanish Moon gelding. Dam unraced sister to useful French chaser (stayed 2½m) Turgot. Wears tongue strap for debut having won sole start in points last month. Worth a market check.

Cian Quirke | D H Kelly | 7 | 75.3 kg |

| 3rd | 13 | — |
Speculateur (G)
Wasn't far behind subsequent Champion bumper fifth on debut. Consistent over hurdles, chased home Cheltenham-bound Mullins pair at Punchestown and ran to a similar level when third at Clonmel last time. Sets the standard.

Jack Kennedy | G Elliott | 5 | 75.3 kg |

Toms One Of Many (G)
No promise on hurdles bow at Leopardstown.

| 14th | 15 | — |
Wildhorserider (G)
Made the frame both starts in points and looks a handicap project following a considerate Rules debut at Naas.

Wise Man (G)
Went backwards from hurdles debut at Punchestown in January. Little appeal this side of handicaps.

Dancing Bambi (M)
Feel Like Dancing mare. Half-sister to 4 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/chaser Feivel, stayed 3½m, and fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser Kitty Galore. Dam unraced. Likely to need time/distance.

Cian Cullinan | M Magnussen | 5 | 72.1 kg |

Lakewood Rose (M)
Modest in bumpers and seemingly being brought along with handicaps in mind in this sphere.

Quiet In Bresil (M)
Blue Bresil mare. Dam unraced half-sister to French hurdler (2¼m winner) Quiliano. Showed more than on debut when eighth of 13 in bumper at Punchestown in December. Market can guide now sent hurdling.

Mr C J Byrne | G O'Loughlin | 6 | 72.1 kg |

Success Mode (M)
Not bred to be much but showed ability when 66/1 seventh of 17 in course novice on debut. Betting should prove informative.

Tountinna (M)
[H]
Only modest form to place in pair of bumpers (disappointing latest), though should at least benefit from the longer trip on hurdle debut. RESERVE.
