Low Style (G)
[B]
Hit the frame in back-to-back handicaps at Navan/Fairyhouse early this year, before doing too much too soon in first-time blinkers when tailed off at Thurles (23f) last time. Worth another chance back down markedly in trip.

San Franco (G)
Some encouragement in bumpers but has gone the wrong way over hurdles, pulled up on last 2 outings. Tailed off on the Flat in October and absent another 7 months since.

Joshua Chamberlain (G)
Confirmed previous promise when opening account in 21f handicap Tramore back in August 2023. However, failed to repeat that effort at Downpatrick (2¾m) next time and has been absent well over 2 years since.

Laurie Blue (M)

Put experience to good use when winning maiden hurdle at Roscommon last summer. Offered little tried again over fences final 2 outings in 2025, shaping as if amiss when pulled up at Thurles in October. Needs to get back on track reverted t…

Redcliff Glen (G)
Ran a couple of encouraging races at Listowel/Thurles during the autumn but lesser effort when tailed off at Clonmel in December. Worth a market check having dropped to 5 lb below last winning mark. Engaged 6.28 Sligo Tuesday.

Hickeys Hill (G)
[T]
Much improved when making winning handicap debut in 16-runner contest at Fairyhouse in October. Better than result when fifth of 12 in amateurs handicap at Clonmel only 12 days later, travelling at least as well as the winner. Interesting …

Max Meridius (G)
Showed ability on bumper debut but modest maiden on Flat and no better than mid-division in 3 maiden hurdles. Failed to improve sent handicapping in this sphere when well held at Clonmel in February.

Whispering Willow (M)
Placed only completed start in points and some promise on bumper debut. Showed bit more than previously in maiden hurdles when sixth of 10 at Fairyhouse (2½m) in October, so she's one to note as she goes handicapping on first run since lea…

Las Brisas Boy (G)

[T1]
Made the frame on handicap debut when fourth of 12 at Limerick (2m) in February but it's still just poor form. Went backwards from that effort when well-beaten eighth of 14 at Down Royal (2½m) the following month. Drops back in trip with t…

Hunting Gold (F)
Looks to have been brought along gradually in 3 starts over hurdles so far, never a threat when seventh of 11 in juvenile maiden hurdle at Limerick 6 weeks ago. Could yet do better as she heads into handicaps.

Red Veil (F)
Modest maiden on the Flat who has failed to see things out in a trio of maiden hurdles, the latest at this course in January. Well held back on the level in 1m handicap at Gowran last month. Now makes handicap debut in this sphere.

Silent Flight (G)
Sole success came in 2½m handicap hurdle at this course back in January 2024. Placed on final outing that season but has struggled for form since, including over fences when last seen. Off 10 months ahead of return to hurdling.

Ghumama (M)

Fair winner on the Flat at best but modest form in handicap hurdles, leaving Noel C. Kelly after final 2024/25 outing. Well held back on the level at Down Royal in September, her only start for Wayne Swindle. Returns to hurdling on stable …

Amburana (M)
Made more impact than previously on second handicap start when fourth of 13 at Tramore (21f) in November. Wasn't in the same form when remote third of 15 at Tramore (2¾m) on New Year's Day, but it remains early days for her back down in tr…

The Border Boy (G)

Off the mark at Cork last summer and returned to form when placed twice in 3 starts in October. Never dangerous on chasing debut in handicap at Thurles the following month, but he could bounce back reverted to hurdling.
