J: Sean Bowen

T: Mickey Bowen

Won Tipperary maiden (2m3f, good to yielding) for Emmet Mullins in October but was well below that form when fifth in Chepstow novice (2m7f, good to soft) for new stable in December; drops back in trip with cheekpieces added today; needs a much better performance.

J: Richard Patrick

T: Mickey Bowen

Some heavy defeats in Ireland but he won a Tipperary maiden hurdle (2m3f, good to yielding) by 6l in October; tailed off on handicap debut at Cheltenham (3m, good) latest and left Emmett Mullins for 20,000euros in early November; very mixed messages.

J: Richie McLernon

T: Emmet Mullins

Bounced back quickly from disappointing seasonal debut when winning a Tipperary maiden hurdle (2m3f, good to yielding) by 6l this month; faces much stronger opposition on this handicap debut but remains very unexposed and is open to considerable further improvement over 3m.

J: Donagh Meyler

T: Emmet Mullins

Third in a bumper at Limerick in January and a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse in February; a remote second in a 2m4f Wexford maiden hurdle in April, would have been closer but for mid-race interference; after a break, unfancied at Listowel and ran accordingly; capable of better.

T: Emmet Mullins

Strong connections but hasn't progressed from his third in a heavy-ground bumper at Limerick in January; finished second in a Wexford maiden hurdle in April but wouldn't have remotely troubled the winner even without some mid-race interference; that was over 2m4f which is probably more his trip.
