Sky Captain (G)
[V]
Winner of a Roscommon maiden (1½m) on debut last summer and acquitted himself well when second in minor event at Galway (1¾m) next time. After 9 months off, beaten only by one who had race fitness on his side at Killarney 19 days ago. Not …

The Mediator (G)
[B]
Took advantage of reduced mark when getting off the mark on the Flat at Clonmel (16.5f) in September. Ran at least as well when placed both starts the following month, third of 12 in amateurs event at the Curragh (1½m) when last seen 7 mon…

Act Of God (G)
Useful hurdler/fairly useful chaser at best. However, was no better than mid-division in 2 handicaps on the Flat in summer 2023 and ran poorly over hurdles when last seen under Rules for E. J. O'Grady well over 2 years ago. Second of 4 in …

Chain Of Destiny (G)
His third in a Curragh maiden back in October 2022 remains very much a standout effort. After an absence of over 2 years, offered little making handicap debut over 17f at Killarney 19 days ago.

Ndaawi (G)
FAV
[P]
Last year's Galway Hurdle winner who shaped well on the Flat after 3-month break when never-nearer third of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (1m) in February. Returned to winning ways over hurdles last time and he looks a strong contender back up…

Quinta Do Lago (G)
Successful on first 2 starts over hurdles and, following a good fifth in the Fred Winter at Cheltenham, added to his tally with a battling success in 10-runner minor event at Punchestown (19f) a month ago. Interesting making his Flat debut.

Both wins came back in the summer of 2020 and his form has gone the wrong way, again finishing well held at Galway when last seen 7 months ago.
