Anodandawink (G)
Thrice-raced maiden. 125/1, fourteenth of 20 in novice hurdle at this course (19f, heavy) 20 days ago. Little appeal this side of handicaps.

Ballyedward (G)
[T]
Looks to be being brought along gradually, eighth of 18 in novice hurdle at Down Royal (20.1f, soft, 25/1) 9 days ago. Back down in trip and probably one for handicaps.

Good Option (G)
Runner up in points. Fared bit better than on debut when 125/1, ninth of 22 in novice hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good) 9 days ago. Longer trips promise to be more his bag further down the line.

Jetstream Jeff (G)
€9,000 3-y-o, Libertarian gelding who failed to complete both starts in points, unseated rider second one (Nov 2025). Doesn't look an obvious type on Rules debut.

Newbrook Diamond (G)
Point winner has made a promising start over hurdles, runner-up on hurdles bow prior to being outspeeded by Willie Mullins pair when third of 8 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (16f, heavy, 7/4) 24 days ago. Still early days for one from a …

Orlando Spirit (G)
Hinted at ability when well held in a trio of maiden hurdles. First run for yard after leaving Declan Queally and entitled to need this after 16 months off.

Silver Salute (G)
Placed on 4 of 6 starts in points, showed a bit starting out under Rules when seventh of 22 in novice hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good, 125/1). One to note for handicaps down the line.

Takenasred (G)

Thiscouldbetheone (G)
[T1]
Well-related gelding (brother to City Island - smart hurdler for this yard) looked in need of the experience in a pair of valuable spring bumpers. Likely to do better at some stage and would be interesting if supported with tongue strap on…

Elusive Power (M)

Flat-bred daughter of Elusive Pimpernel (also half-sister to a point winner) who showed something to work on sole start for John McConnell, second of 6 in bumper (9/2) at Bangor (16.7f, good) on NH debut, no match for winner. Could have mo…

Ode To Joy (M)
Twice-raced maiden. 100/1, tailed-off tenth of 12 to Shadys Lady in bumper at this C&D (heavy) 56 days ago, pulling hard. Makes hurdles debut but likely needs more time.

100/1 and hooded (took strong hold) when twelfth of 25 in novice hurdle at Navan (16f, heavy) on NH debut 29 days ago. Plenty to find.

Shadys Lady (M)

Fairly useful bumper winner, suited by thorough test when winning 12-runner bumper at this C&D (heavy) 56 days ago, keeping on well. Can go on progressing now sent hurdling.

Simple Things (F)

Promising third of 14 in juvenile hurdle on debut and best forgiven latest run at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) 22 days ago, when refusing to settle. Hood on first time and remains open to progress.
