Colcannon (G)
FAV
[H]
Smart bumper performer who belatedly built on the promise of his hurdling debut when winning 25-runner maiden at Fairyhouse (2m, soft) last month. Found his exuberance costing him a place when fifth at Punchestown (16.4f) latest and he's a…

Ifiwerearichman (G)
[P1]
Dual hurdles winner who improved for switch to chasing, opening his account at the second attempt at Punchestown (16.5f) in December 2024. Lightly raced and not had things go to plan in that sphere since and he's not discounted now returni…

Arch Empire (G)
Landed a Ballinrobe maiden hurdle 13 months ago and plenty of creditable efforts on Flat/over hurdles followed last year. Resumed from 6 months off with a creditable seventh of 21 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown 4 weeks ago. Each-way pos…

Sageborough (G)
[T1]
Made a winning debut in 14-runner maiden here (16.5f) in October. Has faced some stiff tasks subsequently, holding little chance at the weights when sixth at Cork (2m) 52 days ago. This more suitable with a tongue strap now added.

Time Is A Thief (G)
[H]
Runner-up in a point and left his hurdles debut form well behind tried in a first-time hood when readily landing an 11-runner Tramore maiden (2m) 37 days ago. Looked by no means the finished article then and he's very much the type to go o…

Immutable (G)
Fairly useful on Flat and similar form when winning juvenile maiden at Cork in spring 2024. Exploits mixed over hurdles around the turn of the year but he comes here having run well when second on the Flat at Cork (1½m, heavy) 24 days ago.…

Moon Mission (G)
Positive start in handicaps when third at Punchestown (21f, heavy) in January and back from a lesser display when opening his account in a Cork novice (17.3f) 17 days ago. This looks tougher, however.

Sonny May (G)
[P1T]
Lightly raced and little impact since 2024/25, again well below his best when well held at Clonmel 13 days ago. Hard to fancy with cheekpieces now reached for.

Berto Ramirez (G)
Fair Flat maiden who benefited from the return to much calmer waters when landing 19-runner Down Royal maiden (17.4f) 23 days ago. Not discounted back in stronger company.
