Fairly useful form on the Flat in France at the start of his career and similar standard over hurdles for current connections, winning a Limerick novice this winter.

Robbies Rock (G)
[T]
In very good form last spring, including a win in a big-field handicap at the Curragh (1¾m, good) when last seen in May. He cheekpieces he wore on that occasion are left off on his return. The betting should help guide to expectations.

Denim And Diamonds (F)
[T]

| 6th | 6 | 7 |
Zoffman (G)
His 2 Flat wins came in 2022 but she did strike over hurdles last spring. Competitive in handicaps off higher marks last summer and Colin Keane takes the ride.
