American Jukebox (G)
[P]
6-y-o who improved for fitting of cheekpieces when off the mark over hurdles at Tramore (21.5f) on New Year's Day. Absent since a lacklustre effort on handicap debut at Punchestown in February but runner up only start in points and could y…

D Art D Art (G)
Bumper scorer who developed into a useful staying handicap hurdler during 2024/25. However, badly out of sorts last season. Switch to larger obstacles needs to have positive effect now.

Eclipse Chaser (G)
[T]
Won maiden hurdle at Navan in September. Decent fourth in Grade 3 there next time but struggled in handicaps since. Will need to settle better now chasing back over this longer trip.

Long Branch (G)
Successful over hurdles at Thurles in December and held his form well in defeat more recently, finding the drop back in trip against him when fourth at Punchestown (19f) 8 days ago. This test more suitable now chasing but he has a bit to f…

One Big Boum (G)
Responded well to fitting of blinkers when scoring at Navan and Fairyhouse this winter and not discredited off an 11 lb higher mark when fifth of 8 in handicap here (2m) in March. Steps up in trip for chasing bow.
