11st 1lb

J: Sean O’Keeffe

0-6 over hurdles; improved upon fair seasonal return to keep on into second at Limerick last time (2m3f, good); the distance of this race may suit.

Battle Of Mirbat

10st 11lb

J: Cian Quirke

T: Michael J McDonagh

Dual chase winner was poor when last seen at Galway last August and he seems best watched on return over a trip that looks too sharp.

Well beaten in two hurdles and a chase this year so has to return to form in a major fashion.

Sunrise Strider

Dam unraced half-sister to winners Too Scoops (useful bumper/2m-2m4f hurdle) and Momus (bumper); would need to see some confidence behind him.

J: Sean O’Keeffe

T: Michael J McDonagh

0-5 over hurdles; first sign of promise in second handicap start after a break at Kilbeggan last month (2m2f, gd-yd) when staying on after being outpaced for a 13.5l sixth; this extra furlong should suit on that evidence; not discounted.
