Bhean Saibhre
Had been mixing Flat and hurdling action to useful effect before an off-day at this venue in May; hard to fancy after another poor run at Limerick.

Houndsworth
Shock win when bolting up at 40-1 off 93 at Cork in April (2m, yielding); mid-field off revised mark at Limerick later that month, when testing ground may not have suited; unplaced favourite in a novice contest at Downpatrick last month.

Le Diablo
Won 2m1f Clonmel handicap in April (yielding), followed that with a couple of ordinary runs off revised mark; good chance now following a return to form with Wexford second; yard has been among the winners lately and tongue-tie added.

Doctor Confusion
Some promise in two maiden hurdles in 2024 but was disappointing when favourite on return at Tipperary early last season; pulled up on handicap debut last August; absent since; from a top stable, so not ruled out

Valsorpresa
Won a Downpatrick maiden hurdle for Gordon Elliott in April 2024; Galway fifth (2m, good to yielding) last October was best effort since joining this yard; should be better for his run at this track in May.

Marlpark
Has shown his best form at Clonmel, but was pulled up at that venue on his most recent start; previous fourth at Limerick was no more than satisfactory.

Max Meridius
Ended last Flat season with a respectable fifth on handicap debut in a 25-runner 1m2f Curragh race on heavy ground; fit from hurdling before beginning new Flat campaign with an encouraging fifth at Leopardstown; not as good at that venue last time, but may improve on previous hurdling form.

At The Wings
Took a small step in the right direction on seasonal debut at Sligo, much more required; 2lb wrong but useful 5lb claimed.
