This Songisforyou (G)
Fairly useful bumper winner who made an encouraging start over hurdles when fifth of 8 at Roscommon (15.5f) in July 2023. Failed to repeat that effort at Galway the following month but has shown useful form on the Flat subsequently and rem…

Care To Differ (G)
[P1]
€7,500 3-y-o, Getaway gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 29f) Pettifour. Maiden pointer, ran out last time (Apr 26). Wears cheekpieces for Rules debut.

Holy Joe (G)
Showed a bit when sixth of 8 in maiden hurdle at Perth (2½m, good to soft) on debut in April but wouldn't have built on that opening effort had he completed at Downpatrick 2 weeks ago.

It's All Clear (G)
[T1]
Progressed steadily with each run in bumpers, finishing third of 10 at this course (17f) on most recent outing. First-time tongue strap added for hurdling debut and shouldn't be taken lightly.

Market Ready (G)

Fair hurdle who again ran creditably when third in 6-runner handicap at Limerick (2m, heavy) in April. One to consider back in maiden company.

Welcome Back (G)

Showed fairly useful form on his debut when third of 14 in a juvenile hurdle at Navan in March 2024 but lightly raced and disappointing since, including on first start for current yard here last month. Hood on for 1st time.
