Kenisa Sport

Jockey: K C Sexton Trainer: Gordon Elliott Age/Wt: 5/11-7 F: 02-1

Comment: Runner-up in a point-to-point and sold for £85,000; tailed off in Gowran bumper on soft on debut; runner-up next time on good at Down Royal before easily winning bumper at this course (2m2f, good); major player on hurdles bow but wouldn't want much rain.

Jockey: Mr K P Healy Trainer: Adrian Murray Age/Wt: 6/12-4 F: 3979/ OR: 100

Comment: Was 0-11 for Gordon Elliott; 2-11 in point-to-points since; first start for Adrian Murray; looks well treated on pick of her form but overall profile fails to enthuse.

Comment: Won a 2m4f Kilbeggan bumper last year; best maiden hurdle run came over 3m1f at Tipperary last month; saw market support on handicap debut at Punchestown a week ago but unseated at the first; worth another chance.

Comment: Found only one too good in pair of handicap hurdles at Punchestown either side of Christmas; remote third over this trip at Navan in February on soft to heavy; not discounted on better ground after a break.

Comment: Went close in course maiden hurdle in summer of 2023; runner-up in Perth handicap hurdle off 99 last August; 1-5 in point-to-points subsequently; jumping errors when tailed off on chase debut at Perth; hurdles need to spark a revival.

Comment: Modest hurdler failed to raise her profile on handicap debut at Perth (2m4f) last September; jumping errors cost her on chase debut here last month; hails from top yard but a leap of faith required back hurdling.

Comment: Dual-purpose maiden ran well at Down Royal off 94 in April; didn't stay 3m at Punchestown a week ago; the hood on then has been left off; one of two for the yard.

Jockey: Mr J G Murphy Trainer: Daniel G Murphy Age/Wt: 6/11-6 F: 040-6 OR: 88

Comment: Remote 2m4f Leopardstown fourth was a step in the right direction in March but never landed a blow at Naas next time and again never involved at Listowel (23.5f) two weeks ago; high enough mark on what she's achieved.

Jockey: Mr J Costello Trainer: A J Martin Age/Wt: 5/11-4 F: 360-6P OR: 86

Menas Miracle

Jockey: Mr B T Stone Trainer: Brendan Oliver Walsh Age/Wt: 6/10-10 F: 840-2 OR: 78

Comment: Couldn't get remotely excited about her qualifying runs but career-best effort on handicap debut when runner-up at Tramore (21.5f, good to yielding) 15 days ago, travelling notably well; shortlisted from 3lb higher.

Comment: Four-time point-to-point winner's sole win under rules came here in a 23.5f maiden hunter chase in 2023; another fine effort in a 3m5f hunter chase here latest; this trip looks a bit sharp for this handicap chase debutant.

Comment: Two-time chase winner in 2023; is on last winning mark and this easier than races he's been contesting recently; unseated on latest at Tramore (15.5f, gd-yld) but this trip more suitable and he's ground versatile; cheekpieces go back on; could go well.

Look Dont Touch

Jockey: I Ryan Trainer: Conor David Maxwell Age/Wt: 10/11-5 F: 684-74 OR: 103

Comment: Point-to-point winner is a 35-race maiden under rules; 0-13 in chases; ran well off lower hurdles mark at Punchestown a week ago (3m, gd-yld); best chase runs have come at around this distance; chance if rediscovers best form.

River Vale

Jockey: G Brouder Trainer: Michael Winters Age/Wt: 9/11-2 F: 726-4 OR: 100

Comment: Point-to-point winner; 0-6 over hurdles; switches to fences after a decent fourth of 18 at Listowel (20.5f, good) two weeks ago; handles an ease, this shorter trip fine and bred to be a chaser; check the market.

Robin De Roost

Jockey: P Cleary Trainer: Gerard Keane Age/Wt: 15/10-1 F: P8P-4 OR: 72

Comment: Two of his four chase wins have been at this track over 19.5f; lost his form last autumn; respectable run on stable/seasonal debut when fourth of eight here (19.5f) last month but would be some achievement for a 15yo to win this.

Blue Du Neuf

Jockey: Mr S Connor Trainer: S R B Crawford Age/Wt: 5/12-0 F: -

Comment: Blue Bresil gelding cost £30,000 as a 3yo; third foal; brother to 2m3f-2m7f hurdle winner Kilbarry Hill; dam bumper/2m3f hurdle winner, out of maiden half-sister to dam of bumper/smart 2m hurdle winner Cash And Go; respected source and appeals on paper; tongue-tied for debut; check market.

Brownes Cross

Jockey: Mr J P Sutton Trainer: Dermot Anthony McLoughlin Age/Wt: 6/12-0 F: 7

Comment: Elusive Pimpernel gelding sent off at 12-1 for his debut at Kilbeggan but failed to beat a rival home; hard to fancy after that.

Chosen Leader

Jockey: Mr J F Johnson Trainer: Stephen Carlin Age/Wt: 5/12-0 F: 50

Comment: 0-6 in point-to-points and has failed to make any impression in two bumpers, including one here; passed over.

Dark Eagle

Jockey: Mr P McNeilly Trainer: Robin McNeilly Age/Wt: 5/12-0

Comment: Wings Of Eagles gelding is a tenth foal; half-brother to winners Ballymountain Boy (bumper and 2m4f/2m5f hurdle) and Ballyvango (1m7f hurdle); dam unraced half-sister to 2m3f hurdle winner Buffalo Ballet; wears hood and tongue-tie for debut; probably best watched.

Kamikaz Du Plessis

Jockey: Mr H C Swan Trainer: Gordon Elliott Age/Wt: 5/12-0 F: 2

Comment: Placed in second point-to-point for Colin Bowe; went close behind 115-rated rival in a Ballinrobe maiden hurdle (16.5f, good) on rules debut last month; dam won a French bumper; obvious chance if handling likely softer ground (pedigree suggests he should).

Nobotheratall

Jockey: Mr A P Ryan Trainer: Thomas Coyle Age/Wt: 5/12-0

Comment: Cheaply bought Jet Away gelding; half-brother to a good ground point-to-point and hurdles winner; jumped poorly when unseating in Oldcastle point-to-point in March; yard 0-8 in bumpers last five seasons; best watched.

North Moon

Jockey: Mr P W Mullins Trainer: W P Mullins Age/Wt: 5/12-0

Comment: Spanish Moon gelding cost 15,000euros as a 2yo; fourth foal; half-brother to useful 2m1f-2m3f hurdle/chase winner Raffles Face; dam French 2m1f hurdle winner, half-sister to useful 2m-2m4f jumps winner Norther Bay; top yard 24-71 in bumpers at this track; plenty of appeal on paper; shortlisted.

Only For Our Man

Jockey: Mr J H Williamson Trainer: Conor David Maxwell Age/Wt: 5/12-0 F: 2

Comment: Good ground point-to-point winner for Stuart Crawford; fine second in 2m2f Tipperary bumper (gd-yld) on rules debut last month when meeting trouble in running; leading form claims but his brother preferred a sound surface so rain is a worry.

Osborne Park

Jockey: Mr D McGill Trainer: Peter Buchanan Age/Wt: 5/12-0

Comment: Home-bred son of Sageburg is a ninth foal; half-brother to eight winners inc Windsor Avenue (smart bumper and 2m3f-3m hurdle/chase), Ravenhill Road (useful bumper and 2m1f-2m5f hurdle/chase) and Hollymount (bumper and 2m1f/2m4f hurdle); attractive pedigree and worth a market check on debut.

Passing Diamond

Jockey: Mr B O'Neill Trainer: David M O'Brien Age/Wt: 5/12-0 F: 4

Comment: Two-time point-to-point winner on yielding-good; respectable effort in 2m4f Wexford bumper (good) on rules debut; sole run on soft ground in point-to-points was poor so the forecast rain is a concern.

The Cistercian

Jockey: Mr J P O'Rourke Trainer: C A Murphy Age/Wt: 5/12-0 F: U

Comment: Yeats gelding is out of a half-sister to Champion Bumper winner Fayonagh; sent off at 66-1 on debut in a maiden hurdle here last month (2m3f, good) but was running a big race when unseating at the last; pedigree suggests he'll handle soft ground; could go well.

Wild River Fall

Jockey: Mr N Gault Trainer: Victor Wilson Age/Wt: 8/12-0 F: 0P/P-

Comment: Refused to race on debut at Sligo and has failed to complete both starts since; lacks a recent run and impossible to make a case for.

Urban Lee

Jockey: Mr E Finegan Trainer: Gerard Keane Age/Wt: 6/11-7

Comment: Home-bred Urban Poet mare is a third foal; dam runner-up in bumper/2m3f hurdle, out of half-sister to useful 2m hurdle/chase winner Arctic Weather; yard has been amongst the winners so check the market.
