Winner of this race in 2023 and won over a shorter trip here last year, two days after a gallant fourth behind Busselton in this race; also a former winner of the Ladies' Cup; a proper stalwart here and over the banks at Lingstown, but the years are catching up.

J: Mr B T Stone

Coped well with the demands of this course when second in this event 12 months ago, 2l in front of the 2024 winner Knockiel Synge; has failed to show a similar standard of form in points this season; however, signs that he may be coming right again when fourth to Fountain House at Lingstown.

J: Tiernan Power Roche

T: R P O’Keeffe

Won on the banks course at Punchestown in May but pulled up in cross-country races on next two starts and this 13yo was tailed off on his sole previous visit here; others make greater appeal.

J: Darragh O’Keeffe

T: R P O’Keeffe

Course specialist over the banks at Lingstown and at this circuit (three wins including 2022 Ladies' Cup, and 2023 La Touche, runner-up four times); showed he retained ability and enthusiasm when beating high-class handicap chaser French Dynamite here in May, two days after fourth to Busselton in the La Touche; pulled up in a French cross-country event in June.
