Jigoro
Maiden hurdle winner at Navan last December before chasing home Mystical Power at Punchestown in January; struggled in spring festival handicaps; beaten at odds-on on chasing bow at Thurles on reappearance; needs to improve back hurdling.

Karl Des Tourelles
Looked a nice prospect in the spring, winning at 100-1 on debut at Gowran and runner-up in Grade 2 novice at Fairyhouse; stayed on well when runner-up in Punchestown handicap hurdle (3m, soft) latest; intriguing runner.

Kilcruit
Former top-class bumper horse; limitations evident as a novice hurdler and novice chaser; made all when winning by 15l on handicap debut over fences at the Punchestown festival in April 2023; hasn't been seen since finishing down the field when sent off favourite for the Galway Plate that summer; off the track 513 days but he has a great record when fresh and will take all the beating if he's anywhere near his best.

Meet And Greet
Ran well in top company the season before last; needed the run after 593 days off the track when well beaten at Punchestown this month; entitled to improve stepping up in trip but it's hard to know how much of his former ability remains.
