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. However, disappointed on final hurdles start and it was a rather low-key chase debut effort at Wexford 2 weeks ago. Still, t…

Game On (G)
[T]
Progressive over hurdles, well backed when off the mark at Downpatrick 12 months ago. However, failed to jump with fluency on chase debut at Kilbeggan a month later and absent since.

Haveigotnewsforyou (G)
Fairly useful form when landing 11-runner novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f) in spring 2024. Given a considerate return from 20 months off over fences at Gowran in January but let down by jumping when unseating at Leopardstown since. May be …

Rusty Harkness (G)

[T]
Reached the frame in all 3 maiden hurdles and far from disgraced when fifth on last month's handicap debut at Clonmel (23f) 37 days ago. Could have more to offer now attentions switch to larger obstacles.

Some Song (G)
Was fortunate when winning a maiden hurdle at Down Royal (22.5f) in October. Pulled up next time but back on track following a break when sixth on handicap debut at Fairyhouse (2½m, soft) 7 weeks ago. Successful only start in points and wo…

Sporting Glance (G)

Improved to make a winning handicap hurdle debut at Galway in September and took his form up a level when following up in a novice at Downpatrick 11 days later. Things didn't go to plan in 2 starts after but was a winner on sole outing in …

Clody Diamond (M)
Point winner who has run to a fair level over hurdles, not disgraced when fourth on handicap debut at Down Royal (17f) in January. Work to do with a few on these terms now attentions switch to larger obstacles.

Rue Taylor (M)
[B1T]
Fairly useful 3-time hurdles winner in 2024/25. However, underwhelming last term, including when well held eighth on chase debut at Kilbeggan in April. Blinkers go on in place of cheekpieces.
