Brewel Hill
Almost two years since the most recent of his three wins; lack of a recent outing is a drawback.

5/2 |
Chopsticks
1-27, placed nine times; hard to be confident given his overall profile, but closely matched with Highway Sixty One and Magna Gee Gee on Fairyhouse running.

Churchwarden
Flat maiden; won a Kilbeggan handicap hurdle in 2024 when with John McConnell; down the field in two runs for this stable; seemed to be well fancied for a similar race to this at Roscommon on the first occasion; blinkered now after a poor hurdle run.

Magna Gee Gee
Sole Flat win came on AW at Wolverhampton in December 2024 over an extended 1m1f; one of his better turf efforts when sixth at Fairyhouse last month, not far behind Chopsticks and Highway Sixty One.

Winner over this trip on good ground at Cork last summer for Joe Murphy; lacks a recent run and has changed stable; tongue-tie on for the first time.

Surviving Murmansk
Sole win from 44 starts came in a hurdle race here last August; Flat form is unconvincing; may have needed the run over hurdles here in May.

Highway Sixty One
Promising fourth on his stable debut/seasonal return at Dundalk over 1m4f; met some trouble in running when sixth at Fairyhouse; fair chance of turning the tables on Chopsticks (fourth) and of upholding form with Magna Gee Gee (sixth).

Itsalonglongroad
114-race veteran, winner of 11 races; best known as a four-time course jumps winner; also C&D winner; most recent success came over fences here last October; well below best on his last three visits, years may be catching up, but premature to write off.

Has failed to show much in three handicap attempts; may improve from recent stable debut when seventh of 14 at Down Royal.

Has won twice over hurdles; nothing of much note in his Flat form; getting on in years; modest hurdles form since down the field at Dundalk in February.

Weak form in maidens; towards the rear in two soft-ground handicaps; hard to fancy unless first-time cheekpieces make a big difference.

Has won on AW; 0-13 on turf; fair third over 1m5f at Navan before poor run at Bellewstown last week; visored first time; reserve.
