Alex Belardo (G)
[V]
Responded well to a switch of headgear when second at Wolverhampton (8.6f) on penultimate start and confirmed himself as good as ever when going one place better at Down Royal (7f) 2 weeks ago, edging ahead close home. Has to be on the sho…

Gloriously Glam (F)

[P]
Back to winning ways in claiming company at Gowran in May. Recent efforts not so good, but will find this less demanding than the handicaps she's contested the last twice and there is a good chance she can bounce back.

Hexagonal (G)
[PT]
Still looking for first success but found some improvement when good second over longer trip at Ballinrobe. Backed that up when fourth in a big field at the Curragh next time but below form in pair of starts at up to 1m last month. Still, …

Minaun View (F)

Still a maiden after 18 starts, though wasted no time getting back to form when second of 9 at Down Royal (7f, soft) on penultimate start. Not so good when eighth at Fairyhouse (7f) on Wednesday, however.

Smithfield (G)
[B1]
Lightly-raced maiden who returned with a good fourth of 15 at Limerick in April. Not in same form either start since, albeit having worst of draw at Leopardstown (1m) 2 weeks ago. Blinkers now the headgear of choice down in grade.

Buttermere Ridge (G)

Ended 2025 out of sorts yet equipped with first-time visor, there was more encouragement to glean from his reappearance seventh in 15-runner handicap at Leopardstown (7f) 2 weeks ago. Entitled to strip fitter for that effort and player on …

Land Of The Giants (G)

Winner of handicap at Ayr (9f) in May and quickly dispelled a lesser effort at Leopardstown when making the frame at Dundalk/Down Royal later that month. One of 3 runners from this yard and considered returned to claiming company.

Colugo (M)

Maiden who was holding form well on all-weather prior to Christmas. Far too headstrong in trio of starts over hurdles more recently though, and she ran no sort of race back on the level at Leopardstown (9f, soft) 3 weeks ago. Usual hood di…

Belatedly off the mark in a Laytown maiden (7f) last summer but struggled to replicate that subsequently, finishing a well held tenth in a Leopardstown handicap (9f) 2 weeks ago. Cheekpieces refitted now back in claiming company.

Fared better than previously in handicaps when fifth of 14 at this course (1¼m, good) 4 weeks ago. However, never figured when twelfth of 17 at Fairyhouse (6f) on Wednesday. Quickly steps back up in trip.
