Comment: Won end of season Cork 2yo maiden but short 3yo campaign was ultimately disappointing; favourite, encouraging enough hurdles debut at Cork 13 days ago, novicey in jumping including at the last when beaten 2.5l (good); probably won't have to improve too much to take this.

Comment: Flat maiden (rated 66) who has shown steady improvement in three attempts over hurdles, notably only run down late over C&D (yielding) early this month and eight days later at Cork again close to pace for much of way, only weakening late when fourth of 10; should again be thereabouts.

Comment: Rated 66 on the Flat after winning 1m4f Roscommon handicap (soft), didn't appear to stay 1m6f latest (keen); in between hurdling attempts eventful, faller at Killarney, ran out at Gowran and in between tended to jump left when second at Listowel; one to consider although needs to jump better.

Comment: Idaho gelding; first foal; dam unplaced, half-sister to winners Bold Sniper (smart 1m2f-1m4f), Daphne (1m5f Listed) and Highland Glen (useful 1m2f-1m4f); tongue tied for debut and best watched.

Comment: Similar to Waterford Whispers in having a 135 rating over hurdles and 130 chasing, latter figure on the back of a recent C&D clear second, worn down late (by a 138-rated hurdler) after leading from halfway (yielding); major chance.

Comment: 135-rated hurdler whose two wins include here; limited first season chasing last term, good second on Navan debut but then dropped out tamely in Grade 1 Limerick novice at Christmas; not seen until staying on fourth (having been hampered) behind a stablemate in 2m2f Listowel novice last month; entitled to improve for that and major player.

Comment: Likes a stamina test, most recent win coming in 3m Listowel handicap hurdle over a year ago (soft) off 117; back from chasing when soundly beaten in repeat win attempt there last month so has it to prove now.

Comment: Four wins include 2m4f Cork handicap under today's rider in January 2024 off 135 on returning from a break; final two starts good bit below that level, although was hampered at Punchestown final start; absent for 17 months but goes well fresh; ideally wants it softer.

Comment: Ballinrobe winner at this trip in May off 115 (good) before just denied in valuable 3m2f Uttoxeter handicap chase; no show on recent Punchestown comeback run over hurdles but expected to come on for that, although yet to win off this high a mark.

Comment: One of three for yard; 0-6 and yet to trouble the judge; poor effort latest but he didn't run badly here over 22.5f (gd-yld) on his handicap debut on penultimate, making late gains and shaping like 3m might suit; may outrun odds if handles easier ground.

Leonard Vallis

Jockey: Mr D Allen Trainer: Terence O'Brien Age/Wt: 4/11-10 F: 2

Comment: Backed into 11-2 and ran an excellent race to finish a 1.5l second of 19 on debut in a maiden hurdle at Gowran (16.5f, soft) three weeks ago; big chance in first bumper with a repeat of that form.

Let's Go La Fichad

Jockey: Mr A P Ryan Trainer: Eoin Griffin Age/Wt: 4/11-10

Comment: Jeu St Eloi gelding; dam French maiden (inc in AQPS Flat events and cross-country chases), half-sister to five French winners inc Udonis (2m2f/2m3f chase); likely best watched on debut (yard 1-21 in bumpers last five seasons).

Jockey: Mr J Costello Trainer: A J Martin Age/Wt: 4/11-10 F: 5

18/1

Comment: Not disgraced on debut in a C&D bumper when behind Zeus Power and Jet Renegade 18 days ago; needs to improve plenty to turn the tables on those two rivals.
