Snow Punt (G)

In excellent form over fences and only just failed at Limerick 3 weeks ago. Remains one to be interested in with the return to further a positive.

Baldur's Gate (G)
Proved competitive off his reduced mark back under a fully-fledged rider when third at Limerick 11 days ago. Eased another 3 lb so could be ready to end losing run.

| 4th | 11 | — |
Mount Shenshan (M)
[H]
Not the easiest to catch right but caught the eye back over fences when fourth of 14 over slightly further here last week, left with too much to do. Player on the back of that.

| 11th | 12 | — |
Wyoming Baby (M)
[HT]
Placed both starts over fences before winning 16-runner handicap hurdle at Cork (3m) in game fashion in May. Shaped as though needing comeback run 4 weeks ago and better expected now.

Long Road (G)

Carlas Big Jim (G)
