Argento Boy (G)

Won maiden hurdle at this C&D in February before finishing fifth of 8 in Grade 1 hurdle here (12/1) in April, showing more zest in cheekpieces but jumping sketchily. Makes chase debut today with cheekpieces removed.

Autoportrait (G)
[P]
Won maiden hurdle at Navan last March, then sixth of 15 in maiden chase at Cork (11/2) 18 days ago, shaped as if better for the run. Likely to improve for that initial chasing experience.

Ballygunner Castle (G)
Maiden hurdle winner at Fairyhouse who produced best effort when third in Grade 2 hurdle. Finished 10th of 14 in Listed hurdle at Perth (17/2) 7 months ago, best excused given severe mistake after halfway. Should be well suited to fences.

Useful hurdler who unseated rider at second fence in 12-runner chase debut at Navan (50/1) 25 days ago. Should make as good a chaser with improved jumping.
