33/1 and visored for first time, fared little better than previously in 2026 when fourteenth of 15 in handicap at Cork (7f, good) 65 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and has returned to last winning mar…

Summer Island (G)
Three wins from 7 runs in a productive 2026. Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at the Curragh (1m, good to firm) 9 days ago given he didn't get a smooth passage so likely to give it another good go.

Earls (G) FAV
BT
Veteran who found only one too good for the third successive race at Killarney last month. Kept on for third over 8.5f at Galway 3 weeks ago and this 3-time C&D winner goes on the shortlist.

Off the mark at the Curragh (6f) on fourth and final start last year. Stepped forward from this season's reappearance when second of 8 in handicap at Naas (7f) but ran badly back at that venue droppe…

Lightly-raced maiden who produced his best effort when second of 12 on handicap debut at Gowran 11 days ago, running on. Likely there's more to come given his profile.

Back-to-back winner at Listowel last September. Low-key start to 2026 but much more like it when fourth at Limerick in June, unlucky not to finish closer, too. Latest fifth at Galway confirms he's in…

Red Hugh O'Donnell (G)

Stepped up markedly on reappearance when winning 14-runner handicap at Killarney, staying on to lead final 100 yards. Up 6 lb and last 2 efforts suggest the assessor probably has him now.

Off the mark in pretty good style at the Curragh (6f maiden, heavy) on reappearance but found listed company too much on next 2 starts. Fared better when third of 11 on handicap debut at Fairyhouse (…

Upped his game when getting off the mark at the fifth attempt in 13-runner maiden at Navan (6f) a month ago, digging deep. Cheekpieces on returned to a handicap and 7f should be within range.

Lightly-raced filly who made the frame in pair of 7f maidens in the autumn and had heavy ground as a possible excuse when fifth of 15 at Gowran (7f) in October. Sound return to action last month and …
