Desert Friend (G)
[T]
Took advantage of much-reduced mark when getting back to winning ways at Dundalk (2m) in March. Ran well next time and, having had excuses on penultimate start, notched a second win of the year at Sligo (1¾m) 17 days ago. Respected.

God The Highness (G)
Fair maiden on the Flat who was a good third in 23-runner handicap at Navan (1¾m) in October. After finishing well held at Fairyhouse on hurdling/seasonal debut, wasn't ideally placed back on the level at Navan 25 days ago. Up in trip in t…

Timandi (F)
Remains a maiden but wasn't disgraced after a very slow start when fifth of 14 at Dundalk (10.7f) in January. However, has gone backwards from that in 2 outings since, again finishing well held at the Curragh (1m) in March.

Among The Pines (G)
Little impact in a trio of maidens last year but shaped as if amiss on handicap debut when well held at Navan (1¼m) in October. Off 7 months ahead of first run since leaving M. C. Grassick.

Cala Gracioneta (F)
[H1]
No better than mid-field in maidens/handicaps in 2025 and ran no sort of race when last of 12 in handicap at Dundalk (1½m) in January. Hood now reached for.

Almenfee (M)
[PT]
Fair winner on final outing in Germany last spring but remains with little solid form for current yard, ninth of 16 in handicap at Limerick (1½m) 25 days ago. Mark continues to fall as she goes up in trip.

Mephisto (G)
[V]
Hasn't run on turf on the Flat for a while, but completed a hat-trick over hurdles in August last year. After 6 months off, shaped as if better for the outing when fourth of 12 at Dundalk (1½m) in April, so he's interesting from his lower …

Jurality (G)
Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs but he's consistent for the level, running well when third of 19 in handicap at Leopardstown (13f) 5 days ago. Can give another good account up in distance.

Velvet And Vine (M)
Still looking for a breakthrough victory and made no impression when eighth of 11 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f) in January last year. Mark has eased further but has 16-month absence to overcome.

Appian Way (G)

Long-standing maiden on the Flat but ran a bit better than of late over hurdles when eighth of 21 in handicap at Cork (3m) 10 days ago. Cheekpieces on for first time in this code.

Our Lucky Lady (M)
[H1]
Maiden on the Flat but showed improved form over hurdles last year, winning a maiden at Sligo on second start. Shaped better than result when ninth of 24 on handicap hurdle debut at Punchestown on recent return, so she could do better in t…

Synchronize (G)
Hasn't offered much on the Flat, down the field in a Dundalk handicap (1½m) when last seen in this sphere in December. Has finished well held in 2 handicaps over hurdles since, the latest at Cork 10 days ago.

Bynx (M)
Yet to win on the Flat but landed 2½m handicap hurdle at Thurles in October. Wasn't seen to best effect back on the level here (13.7f) last month, before facing a stiff task in listed mares hurdle at Killarney 11 days ago. RESERVE.
