Pahlavi (G)
[T]
Finally off the mark over hurdles at Downpatrick last summer. However, was well held on chasing debut a year ago and, after 7 months off, fared no better at the second attempt in 2m handicap at Wexford 2 weeks ago.

Prince Of Air (G)
[B1]
Fair handicap chaser at best who was first past the post in handicap at Killarney in October, demoted for causing interference. However, he's struggled in 3 starts for current yard, including back over hurdles at Tramore a month ago. Now t…

Big Island (G)
Still looking for a breakthrough win over fences, but was ahead and yet to be asked for effort when falling 2 out in handicap at Tramore (2¾m) when last seen in August. Major player as he returns off the same mark.

Winner of a 19-runner handicap hurdle at Down Royal a year ago. Bettered that form when fourth in 11-runner maiden on chase debut at Thurles in October, but hasn't gone on in 2 handicaps since. Remains early days for him over fences, thoug…

Mic Drop (G)
Point winner whose sole success under Rules came in a bumper back in 2024. Fair hurdler but below that level in 3 chase starts and lesser effort back over hurdles when fifth of 9 in handicap at Clonmel (2½m) last month. Has a lower mark re…

L'amiral Fromentin (G)

After a poor run tried over hurdles, showed improved form quickly back chasing when third in a Tramore handicap in April. Did enough to confirm that effort when sixth of 12 over 2m at Wexford last time, shaping as if a return to further sh…

Brave Endeavour (G)
Switched to front-running tactics, took a step back in the right direction when fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle at this course (19f) 5 weeks ago. Winning pointer and has eased further in the weights ahead of his first chase start.

Long-standing maiden (including on the Flat) who largely found things tough in handicap hurdles in 2025, well held at Thurles (2m) when last seen in October. Makes chase debut.

Ellies Rock (M)

Resumed progress when justifying support in 16-runner handicap hurdle at Clonmel in April. Wasn't in the same form when fifth of 16 at Tramore (2½m) 17 days later, but she's worth another chance to build on her Clonmel effort as she goes o…

Remains with little form over hurdles, pulled up in handicaps on her last 3 outings with the latest at Bellewstown in April (in first-time cheekpieces and tongue strap). Has enough to prove as she goes over fences.

Falcon Park (G)
[V]
One of better efforts when runner-up in 2m handicap hurdle at Clonmel in February. However, he's not the easiest to catch right and ran poorly at this course (19f) 5 weeks ago. Winner over fences back in summer 2024 but down the field both…
