Once-useful performer on the Flat in Germany. Well below that level more recently, including 2 starts in this sphere. Still looked in need of the experience when 14¾ lengths fourth at Fairyhouse latest. Remains capable of better, especially when handicapping.

Has an ordinary pedigree. Produced his best effort in bumpers (aided by the run of the race) when second at Fairyhouse last time. That form likely to be a fair way off what's required on hurdling debut here.

Useful Flat performer who finished down the field in a couple of maiden hurdles last December. Arrives fit from a season on the level and probably worth noting for handicap hurdles after this run.

Steadily improving when fair fourth behind a couple of next-time-out winners in a Kilbeggan maiden in April. Better than he showed on his end-of-season handicap debut at Downpatrick and could hit the frame if back on song.

Eliot gelding. Dam unraced. Placed on the last of his 3 starts in points in April. Hard to be confident taking on some above-average opposition on hurdling bow, even with Danny Mullins booked.

Didn't offer much on the Flat for Saeed Bin Suroor and similar story sent hurdling by current yard on return.

Fair Flat winner (isn't bred for jumping) who went backwards from hurdling bow at Listowel last time. Another bound for handicaps.

Hasn't gone on from his hurdling debut (in contention for a place when falling). Still has stamina to prove in this sphere and needs this run for a mark.

€2,000 3-y-o, Vadamos filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful hurdler/chaser Mint Boy and useful hurdler/chaser West Cork Wildway. Cheap purchase given her pedigree. Unlikely to be making an impact first time up.

Lightly-raced winner in points. Looked one for later on when down the field in a novice hurdle at this course (2½m, soft) on debut over Christmas.

Cheap purchase. Well held in Roscommon bumper on debut last month. Limited appeal starting out over hurdles.

Affinisea mare. Half-sister to a point winner. Dam, point winner, sister to unreliable but useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 33f) Alpha Victor. Almost certain to need time/distance.

Yard has had success with this family. Went backwards from a relatively promising debut when well beaten on return at Fairyhouse (2m, soft) in April. Tongue strap on first time, and this will probably be a springboard to handicaps.

Smooth Daddy gelding. Dam unraced. Doesn't have much to recommend him on paper. Yard also saddle Calamint.

£6,000 5-y-o, Poet's Word gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including top-class hurdler The New One and fairly useful chaser The Newest One. Dam lightly raced over hurdles. Placed on first of 3 starts in points, last of 7 finishers last time (May 2026). Likely a longer-term prospect under Rules.
