Won two staying handicaps in the first half of last season; ordinary form in recent months
4	Tullyveery Lad Bay J:Donagh Meyler T:R P Cody	J:Donagh Meyler T:R P Cody	156	—	65-742	110	122	77	11d	—	—	+4	19.4	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Chased home an easy winner at Wexford 11 days ago despite some untidy jumping, fair chance
3	Gabriel Ranger Bay J:Danny Mullins T:Joseph G Murphy	J:Danny Mullins T:Joseph G Murphy	157	—	656-18	111	126	116	18d	—	—	+3	20.3	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Mid-field over hurdles at Galway, better judged on his handicap chase win at Killarney
2	The Dasher Conway Bay J:Keith Donoghue T:Mrs Gillian Callaghan	J:Keith Donoghue T:Mrs Gillian Callaghan	164	—	0-9535	118	126	93	14d	—	—	+9	20.3	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Slightly disappointing at Galway but is dropped in grade now and is a course winner
1	Rexem Bay J:Alex Harvey(5) T:John C McConnell	J:Alex Harvey(5) T:John C McConnell	166	—	/05-47	120	122	84	70d	—	—	+11	20.2	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Has run only five times since a Ludlow success in 2023, plenty to prove at this stage

Second to a stablemate over 3m2f at Down Royal in April was encouraging, absent since
9	Lake Chad Grey J:Niall Moore(5) T:Philip Fenton	J:Niall Moore(5) T:Philip Fenton	152	b	4-0465	106	125	98	25d	—	0W/1P 1 run	+9	16.1	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Wide-margin winner of this race last year, three wins here in all, worth considering
10	Big Island Bay J:Cian Quirke T:W J Lanigan	J:Cian Quirke T:W J Lanigan	143	—	2-64P0	97	126	83	30d	—	—	+10	17.4	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Went close at Limerick in April, has failed to build on that in four subsequent runs
8	Ik's Man Bay J:John Shinnick(3) T:Terence O'Brien	J:John Shinnick(3) T:Terence O'Brien	153	t	613-47	107	126	115	25d	—	—	+11	15.6	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Fair fourth at Killarney on penultimate start but hard to be confident about his chance
6	Arrycan Bay J:Richard Deegan T:Liam P Cusack	J:Richard Deegan T:Liam P Cusack	155	—	0-2PP9	109	119	-	11d	—	—	+12	15.6	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Out of form lately, tailed off at Wexford in the race in which Tullyveery Lad was second
11	Starzov Brown J:Simon Torrens T:P J Rothwell	J:Simon Torrens T:P J Rothwell	143	p	8-0F7P	97	115	83	11d	—	—	+10	12.5	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Won twice over hurdles; no sign of similar form over fences, seems safe to rule out
