Jackmoon (G)
FAV
[T]
Improved again when close second in a 3m maiden at Cork on penultimate start and didn't look so well served by drop in trip when filling same spot at Tramore (2½m) 4 weeks ago, not jumping/travelling with fluency. Return to further much mo…

Whatsavailable (G)
[PT]
Best effort for a while when 3¾ lengths third of 16 at Cork (3m, good to soft) last month. Claims if able to build on that here from same mark.

Malbas (G)
Veteran who was given a considerate introduction to chasing on reappearance but never dangerous back over hurdles in first-time cheekpieces (discarded here) when eighth at Kilbeggan (2m) 3 weeks ago. Steps up significantly in trip now.

Beggars Rock (G)
[VT]
Won over fences at Kilbeggan for Declan Queally 12 months ago but failed to match that form in 2 outings for Gordon Elliott. Stepped up on low-key stable debut effort when third at Down Royal 5 weeks ago but not sure to be in same form bac…

Watching The Clock (M)
Made second handicap start a winning one at Gowran (2m) in October. Ran creditably next 3 starts prior to a lesser effort when fifth at Punchestown (23f, heavy) in February. Still, looks well worth another try at this sort of trip and not …

Keep Em Quite (G)
Jet Away gelding who was placed in a point and definite promise on first of his 3 starts in maiden hurdles this spring. Very much appeals as the type to do better now handicapping over a trip fully expected to suit. Interesting.

Midleton Rare (G)
[PT]
Had a productive 2025/26, adding to his tally back at 3m at Bellewstown on penultimate outing. Quick turnaround may have caught him out when pulled up at Kilbeggan 3 weeks ago.

Aine's Lad (G)
Career best when winning 17-runner handicap hurdle at Thurles (23f) in February and ran well to confirm that improvement when third on chase debut at Fairyhouse (3m) later that month. Likely player returned to smaller obstacles.

Are You Busy (M)
Landed a Thurles maiden hurdle (2½m) last spring but lightly raced and yet to build on that in handicaps. Steps up significantly in trip following another absence and percentage call to look elsewhere.

Jetaway Nana (M)
Winner of a C&D maiden last summer. Form has proven up and down subsequently but feasible to think his Tramore reappearance was needed 4 weeks ago. Expected to fare better back up in trip.

Teenage Kiss (M)
[P]
Low-mileage 5-y-o confirmed herself still in good heart despite lacking the pace to get involved in the finish when fifth over 2½m here 5 weeks ago. This increase in trip well worth exploring on that evidence.

Rhythmic Tune (G)
[P1]
Showed improved form when winning 16-runner handicap hurdle at Limerick (21f) in October but not in same form since, off 4 months prior to finishing well beaten at Clonmel (23f) 32 days ago. Cheekpieces now reached for.

Krishna Bellevue (G)
[B]
Handed a stiff opening mark and has offered little either start in handicaps 8 months apart, including on yard debut at Kilbeggan last month. This promises to reveal more with blinkers back on.

Nashville Notions (M)
Won a maiden hurdle at Sligo last June but below that level since, losing place home turn when fifth in handicap at Limerick (21f) 46 days ago. Handicapper has eased his grip a little more ahead of this step back up in trip.

Elbow Lane (G)
Well held in 3 maiden hurdles over 2m but did make a little more impact than previously without being ideally placed when seventh of 13 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (2m) 6 weeks ago. Will need to keep the errors at bay over this markedly …
