Maureen Hehir
On a long losing run but placed no fewer than 7 times this season. Not so good of late, though, and clearly needs everything to fall right. Headgear removed.

Bagged 3 C&D wins between January and March. Hasn't been in much form on turf of late but return to this venue could spark a revival.

Golden Brown Syndicate
Won this race a year ago from 1 lb higher. Made the frame in handicap at Leopardstown in June and minor event at Limerick in July and while below that level since, this has likely been the target ahead of all-weather return. Major claims.

Men Of Forty Eight Syndicate
Successful at Down Royal in May and back to winning ways in 13-runner handicap at Galway (7f, good) last month, just holding on. Runner-up went in next time but was unable to cash in on just a 1 lb higher mark at Laytown, weakening late. Should be a factor.

Natalia Lupini
Made a winning handicap debut over C&D in January. Another good effort there when second in 7f claimer in March but unable to continue the good work since on turf. Hopes pinned on return to all-weather.

B Geoghegan
Finally off the mark over C&D in December 2024. Good fifth of 13 in handicap at Leopardstown on return the following April but below form a month later. Untrustworthy at best of times and has a long absence to overcome but potentially interesting starting out for shrewd new yard.

Harcourt Racing Syndicate
Progressed again when getting off the mark in 6f handicap here in December. Good in-frame efforts on first 3 outings this year but unable to continue the good work the last twice. Too free fitted with cheekpieces over 1m latest so return to 7f could be a plus.

Mrs L Honan
Turned in his best effort of the season in a first-time hood when third of 15 in claimer at Gowran (1m, good to firm, 28/1) last month, never nearer. Backed that up returned to handicap company at Navan and he can be a factor if coping with this return to 7f.
