Storm Heart (G)

Hello Neighbour (G)
[H]
Progressive as a juvenile, sixth in the Triumph prior to finishing third in Grade 1 Champion 4-y-o here last May. Solid form in handicaps recently, a good third of 18 in a listed event at Fairyhouse (2m, soft, 11/2) 28 days ago but hasn't …

Iberico Lord (G)
Greatwood/Betfair Hurdle winner in 2023/24 who capitalised on a falling mark when cosily landing Lanzarote at Kempton (2m5f) in January. Things didn't really pan out for him when eighth in the BetMGM Cup last time but was well held at this…

Kopeck De Mee (G)
Posted smart effort when second in Aintree handicap last April. Held when falling at the last on his chase debut and it's possible he'll be better for the run after finishing tenth in the BetMGM Cup (21f) at Cheltenham in March. The feelin…

Tripoli Flyer (G)

Very useful bumper/novice hurdler who was back to his best when runner-up over longer trip on handicap bow at Ascot in January. Finished with an eye-catching flourish when eighth in the County Hurdle (16.8f) at Cheltenham in March and is r…

Kel Histoire (G)
Landed Cork maiden on his debut for this yard in 2024. Brought along steadily this term before producing an improved effort to finish fourth of 24 in the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham (2½m, good to soft) 50 days ago. Still going the right way.

Progressed well once sent handicapping last season, going 2-3 at Sandown last April. Very unlucky to not make a winning return from an 11-month absence when third in the Martin Pipe (2½m) at Cheltenham, finishing with running left after me…

Bumper winner was runner-up on 2 of his first 3 starts in maiden hurdles and didn't need to improve to score in facile fashion at Limerick (19f, heavy, 2/5) 41 days ago. No chances have been taken with his opening mark, for all he's clearl…

Champagne Kid (G)

Opened account in a Punchestown maiden in November and showed improved form when winning 16-runner handicap hurdle there (20.5f, good to soft) the following month. 3m on heavy ground seemed to stretch him last time and but he might needed …

Wendrock (G)
[P1]
Scored at Leopardstown (2m) in December 2024 but more miss than hit since, finishing well down the field in the BetMGM Cup at Cheltenham last time. First-time cheekpieces need to have major effect.

County Final (G)
[HT]
Navan maiden winer was a good head second of 5 to Kazansky in Grade 2 hurdle (9/4) at Limerick (23f, heavy) in December. Underperformed after an early error returning from a 9-week break at Cork last time and others are preferred overall.

Responded well to fitting of blinkers when scoring at Navan and Fairyhouse this winter and not discredited off an 11 lb higher mark when fifth of 8 in handicap at Wexford (2m) in March. Steps up in trip/grade now.

Mojoe (G)
Winner of a 19.3f handicap here (heavy) in January and has remained in good heart since, producing even better form to win a 17-runner handicap in similarly testing conditions at Naas (19f) 55 days ago. Bit more needed up in grade and back…

Thisistheway (M)
Consistent mare who won at this meeting last season. Runner-up in a 16-runner listed handicap at Punchestown over Christmas and the 7f Flat maiden at the Curragh she's contested since unsurprisingly wasn't her bag. Not fully ruled out.

No Looking Back (G)
[BT]
Turned in his best effort of the season when third of 7 in a slowly-run minor event hurdle (20/1) at Cork (2m, good to soft) 27 days ago but hard to see him faring much better from out of the weights here.
