Sarah's Express (M)
[B1]
Again shaped like a stayer when respectable fourth of 16 at Kilbeggan (19f, good to soft). Failed to justify support when mid-field at Clonmel since. Headgear on.

Made a winning handicap debut at Fakenham in October. Below par since but might have needed the run starting out for this yard at Clonmel in May.

Love Like This (M)
Made more impact than for a while when second of 16 over C&D last month. Disappointed over fences next time and may have found stamina stretched returned to hurdling when fifth at Limerick 12 days ago.

Thats All (M)
[T]
Winner at Kilbeggan (19f) last summer. Never threatened over an inadequate 2m on reappearance but blotted her copybook with an unusual exit at Limerick 12 days ago, in rear when unseating just before the sixth after briefly shaping to run …

Johnny M (G)
[T]
Placed twice in maidens for John McConnell but offered little in trio of handicaps for Peter Fahey. Probably needed the run after 21 months off at Punchestown on yard debut recently.

Got off the mark having slipped further in the weights and taken the favoured wide route throughout at Limerick 12 days ago. Not an obvious type to follow up.

Joe's Turn (G)
[T]
Dual winner during 2024/25 campaign and posted another solid effort when second at Tipperary last spring. Off 11 months after falling at Kilbeggan last summer prior to Punchestown return so entitled to come for the run. RESERVE.
