Cozone (G)
[BT]
Took advantage of a much-reduced mark in a 14-runner handicap at Downpatrick in March. Raised 10 lb and not in quite the same form upped to 3m at Down Royal last month. Blinkers back on.

Western Model (G)
Just the sole win to his name, gained at Punchestown in May 2024. Placed 3 times over fences in 2025 and has left Paul Nolan ahead of return from 6 months off.

Embrace The Day (G)
[T]
Starting to get his act together in handicaps, fitted with a tongue tie when fourth at Kilbeggan a month ago (19f). In very capable hands and expected to raise his game again as stamina is drawn out. Major claims.

Sole win came in handicap hurdle over 23f at Listowel a year ago. Low-key start for this yard in recent weeks, though.

Jack Inthe Jukebox (G)
[PT]
Yet to show any ability, including on handicap debut after 5 months off at Down Royal (3m) last month. Hopes pinned on first-time cheekpieces/tongue tie sparking some improvement. Engaged 7.49 Wexford Wednesday,

Navy Waves (M)
[P]
In and out of form since winning at Galway last season but brace of solid efforts this spring at up to 3m and she's just 1 lb above that successful mark. Should be very competitive.

Creditable fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (2½m, good) 14 days ago. Eased further 2 lb and a repeat will see her on the premises.

Spellacy's Cross (G)

Won a couple of handicap chases under this rider at Clonmel in October and looked to be taking a step back in the right direction when falling heavily at the last in a handicap hurdle at that venue last month. Subsequent third confirms he'…

Thats All (M)

Winner at Kilbeggan (19f) last summer. Fortunate to finish second in an eventful race at Thurles in October and while she never threatened on reappearance, that was over an inadequate 2m.

Long-standing maiden but showed enough on reappearance to think she's in good order and no surprise were she to build on that.
