Becasse (IRE)

0%

French hurdle winner on very soft in October 2024; back from an absence to finish second in a Wexford handicap (soft) and departed too far out to tell what might have happened when 6-1 at Killarney; remains unexposed.

Putapoundinthejar (IRE)

0%

Failed to fire on the Flat last time but had previously returned to hurdles (dual winner) with a respectable fifth of 21 in a Listed handicap at Punchestown (2m, yielding); off the same mark here in a less demanding race.

Wholelotofbusiness (IRE)

0%

Won a novice at Killarney in October (2m1f, yielding) and probably posted a similar effort when third in a handicap there last month; solid chance off an untouched mark.

Frankendael

0%

Lightly raced since winning a Listed handicap here in September 2024; back from an absence, he was a much bigger price than Putapoundinthejar at Punchestown in April and duly finished well behind the Martin horse.

Spy (GB)

0%

Dual-purpose gelding who is consistent in the main and he was returning from a lengthy break when never that competitive at Punchestown a month ago; perhaps a shade high in the weights, even if he can return to best.

Fast Felix (IRE)

0%

Lost his way in the winter but refreshed from a break he was a pleasing fourth at Killarney, finishing upsides shorter-priced stablemate Wholelotofbusiness; in the mix.

Cappucino (IRE)

0%

Won his bumper here and added a Punchestown maiden hurdle; he's been good and bad in six defeats over fences and current wellbeing is a bit of an issue ahead of this return to hurdling.

Bossing It (IRE)

0%

Maiden winner who appeared to be going nowhere until a revived second of 14 at Wexford (2m1f, good to yielding); nudged up 2lb for that but a greater worry would be that this is a better race.
