5/2 |
Limestone Red
Sole win from 24 starts was gained over C&D in 2023; best effort for a while when fourth here in September; confirmed the promise of that run with a second placing five weeks ago; big chance with Nicola Burns retaining the ride to claim a valuable 5lb.

Eighty Eight
Modest strike rate on Flat (2-36) but placed nine times; had solid course form last winter, highlighted by a win achieved off 9lb higher than current rating; worth considering in a race in which not many have strong recent credentials.

Slaney Swagger
0-20 on turf, placed on ten occasions; ran well in defeat in the autumn, notably when twice runner-up at Gowran; not at best at that venue on latest, though allowance should be made for the fact that he was hampered early in the race; ground-versatile on turf, limited AW experience.

Boyne Valley
Sole win came over 1m2f at Navan in October off 55; unplaced in four subsequent starts, the most recent over 1m4f here last Friday; badly hampered over a furlong down then; interesting she is given another opportunity so soon.

Heart Of Darkness
Sole win came last year in a course 6f maiden; regressive this year; tackles this trip for the first time following a fair fourth over 1m here a fortnight ago; has a sprinting pedigree and is not certain to stay.

Rising Sky
Consistent if limited maiden; not a bad run over C&D five weeks ago, when keeping on again after meeting trouble; has plenty to find with runner-up Limestone Red.

Rock Basher
18-race maiden; claimed for E5,000 after much improved neck defeat in 1m claimer here in October; weakened into fifth off 10lb revised mark over C&D on his next start; same placing over 7f here last week; blinkered for the first time now.

Roderick
Naas winner over 1m in July, his fifth turf success in a long career; has generally shown his best form over shorter than this and has a 0-18 record on AW.

Not So Profitable
Not much promise in three maiden attempts at trips ranging from 7f-1m4f; tongue-tied for handicap/AW debut over C&D last month, sent off at 50-1 and finished a poor last of ten; transformation needed.

Man Is King
0-38 record is a major negative; all his four places have come over 1m at this venue; turf runs earlier in the year were not encouraging; not a bad run in mid-division over 1m here last week; might compete for a share of the money now.

Kartayaz
Last win came over C&D in December 2022; placed twice on turf this year, most recently over 1m4f at Bellewstown in July; found 6f inadequate at Laytown in September; others preferred.

Not Even Maybe
Failed to win for Mick Mulvany; poor form in two maiden hurdles for this yard after return from a long absence; down the field at Gowran in October on her first Flat start since 2023; stable had a winner here late last month.
