First up from a break. Was competitive when 3rd last start at Fairyhouse and was a debutant last start. Should jump out and bowl along. Good potential.

First up after a break of 45 weeks. Odds of 80/1 and below par performance when 10th last time at Punchestown but challenged by less formidable competitors. Can't have.

Resuming after a spell of 43 weeks. Started at 66/1 and well beaten when 11th last time at Wexford but fitter for debut run. Expected to settle towards the rear. Hard to recommend.

Racing fresh after a break. Was 80/1 and came in 8th last start at Fairyhouse but was on debut last time. Likely to get back in the run. Tough race will need luck.

Jumped at 6/1 and lacked competitiveness when 4th last time at Gowran Park. Better to look elsewhere.
