Fiveonefive (G)
Useful 17f winner over hurdles. Only raced twice on the Flat much earlier in his career but ran to a fair level. The market can prove a good guide back in this sphere for the first time since 2024.

Nucky Johnson (G)
Useful 2m hurdles scorer in 2022/23. Shaped encouragingly when third of 7 in maiden at Down Royal (1¼m) on Flat debut in May 2024 on his final run for Noel Meade. Has his fitness to prove on belated …

Bumper/hurdles winner during first half of 2025. Largely running well this season, staying on when third of 13 in novice at Listowel (1¾m, good to soft) 13 days ago. Player with this step up to 2m a …

Teofil (G) FAV
Useful bumper performer who went 2-3 in 9-runner event at Killarney (2m, good to soft) in August, showing a good attitude. Merits consideration on Flat debut.

Mothel Abbey (G)
Never dangerous in maidens at Leopardstown (9f) and Listowel (1m) this summer. Should do better in due course.

28/1 and blinkered, encouraging debut second of 15 in maiden at Roscommon (1½m, good to soft) in August. This Toronado gelding can build on it over the longer trip.

Took a step forward on his handicap debut when third of 13 at Down Royal (2¼m, good) last month, finishing strongly having been caught further back than ideal. Sure to do better still.
