Comment: Off a mark of only 60 when running away with a slow-ground 1m4f handicap at Listowel in September 2023 on his ninth run for David Marnane, after which he changed hands for 100,000gns; makes belated debut for Willie Mullins in a race he's won three times in five years; any rain welcomed.

Comment: Dual-purpose; gained second win over hurdles when landing a novice handicap at 33-1 at Fairyhouse (2m4f, sft-hvy) in April; hiked up 12lb for that short head success and not seen since; record fresh is a plus but probably needs lots of rain at this trip.

Comment: Got back on track with a 1.25l second of 9 at Downpatrick (2m2f, yld-sft) last time out off 119; raised 1lb for that but rider's 5lb claim negates that; well beaten in this last year but claims if backing up that last run.

Comment: Winner of this in 2023 off 70 (heavy); won again the following month at Listowel (7f, soft) but winless since then; returned here last year and finished last of all (7f, soft); some encouragement in his last two runs, so can't be completely ruled out.

Comment: Sole win from 19 starts came at Naas in April last year off 66 (6f, yielding); some okay runs following that, including her comeback run at the Curragh in March when a 1.75l third (6f, soft); her three most recent runs leave a lot to be desired.

7/2

Comment: Has regressed since winning in Listed company for William Haggas but remains capable on his day and he was runner-up to Oriole in this 12 months ago; positives to take from his run here on Tuesday given he probably wants further than 7f now.
