Bokamsin (G)
Showed plenty of promise on both bumper and hurdle debut, eighth of 22 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, soft, 18/1) on hurdles bow, not knocked about. Market should guide with yard also saddling Factual Fact/Jukebox Johnny.

Earl Neigh (G)
Again showed ability when matching hurdles debut form on first start for new yard, third of 16 in novice hurdle at Naas (16f, heavy) 14 days ago. Open to progress.

Factual Fact (G)
Made a good impression when winning a bumper on debut at Thurles in 2023. Returned from a long absence with 3 solid placed efforts on the Flat. Clearly retains plenty of ability and one to be interested on hurdle bow for excellent yard.

Jalon D'oudairies (G)
Won sole start in points and looked an excellent prospect when landing bumper double at Leopardstown in December 2023. Sent off 3/1 favourite when third in the 2024 Champion Bumper (stablemate Romeo Coolio finishing runner-up). The one to …

Jukebox Johnny (G)
Runner-up sole outing in points. Is bred for longer trips and has shaped in kind over hurdles. Likely improver once tackling handicaps.

| 5th | 7 | — |
Oaks Soldier (G)
Showed more than on debut when 33/1, fourth of 12 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (19.6f, soft) 17 days ago. Will probably be better off in handicaps.

Phillip Enright | Eamon Courtney | 5 | 75.3 kg |

| 7th | 8 | — |
Shuttle Diplomacy (G)
Smart bumper performer, third of 17 in the Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival in March. Has finished weakly and stopped quickly on his reappearance/hurdle debut when pulled up at Galway (7/4) last time. Too soon to write off.

Sortudo (G)
FAV
[H1]
Progressive in bumpers. Seventh in Champion Bumper and reversed form with Shuttle Diplomacy when winning 9-runner bumper at Fairyhouse (16.1f, soft, 5/2), easily in April. Makes plenty of appeal now sent hurdling by top yard.

Startthatmachine (G)
[T1]
Once-raced maiden. 125/1, pulled up in novice hurdle at Limerick (16.3f, soft) on NH debut 35 days ago, pulled up after 3 out. Tongue strap on for first time and has plenty to find.

Tarquin The Proud (G)
Once-raced maiden. 100/1, twentieth of 21 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (15.8f, heavy) on NH debut 10 days ago. Best to look elsewhere.

Walkmethroughit (G)
Poor in both hurdle starts, well behind in ninth of 18 at Listowel (300/1) 60 days ago. No interest this side of handicaps.

| 4th | 13 | — |
Whatsanotheryear (G)
Has shaped with promise over hurdles, sixth of 20 in novice hurdle (13/2) at Gowran (16.1f, heavy) 15 days ago, unable to sustain effort and should be better for the run. Entitled to improve but could be one for handicaps.

Beautiful Beauty (M)
[H1]
Once-raced maiden. 100/1, last of 6 in bumper at Gowran (16f, heavy) on NH debut. Off 22 months. Makes hurdles debut. Hooded for first time and has significant improvement to find.

Zanoosh (M)
[T]
Strong form when fourth on hurdle debut and got back on track when third of 16 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.4f, heavy) 2 days ago. One to consider if turned out quickly back down in trip.
