9st 11lb

J: Conor Cusack

T: Daniel McLoughlin

Two-time turf winner in 2024, both at 5f on good to firm and good to yielding ground; is now 14lb below his last success and not in bad form when last seen at Dundalk in March; worth checking in the market on return to turf.

10st 0lb

J: Ben Coen

T: Daniel McLoughlin

C&D maiden winner in 2023; added two 5f turf wins in 2024; very encouraging third back from a break over C&D in February under this rider; didn't look the easiest mount for a 10lb claimer last time when hanging; he's 11lb lower than his last winning mark and Coen back aboard is a plus.

J: Ross Fagan

T: Daniel McLoughlin

Won a C&D maiden in 2023, and added two turf 5f wins in 2024; last month's third over 5f was encouraging after a break; every chance with 10lb claimed.
