28/1 |
Castle Croiuil
Won a maiden point at Ballyvodock last February, scoring by 3l from Malinas Glory, an experienced sort who won a handicap chase off 95 at Thurles in November; made a satisfactory return when second to a promising younger horse at Boulta last month.

Fountain House
Winner of his last four starts in point-to-points; latest success over the banks at Lingstown was significant in that it represented a reversal of form with Knockiel Synge who beat him in the Ladies' Cup at last season's Punchestown festival; should be involved if similarly effective over orthodox fences.

Getaway King
Narrow winner of a maiden at Borris House last season; ran green in a bumper at Cork last April and absent since; main positive is the 7lb claimed by Rob James who was aboard for his point win.

Keeptheoldmanout
Poor bumper form in 2023; beaten favourite in points on three occasions last season; recovered some losses on seasonal debut at Lisronagh, but was a fortunate winner, ten lengths down when the leader fell at the last.

Lonesome Boatman
Useful maiden hurdle form for Martin Brassil in 2021; won all three completed starts in points last season for this yard; fine third behind Its On The Line and Lifetime Ambition in the championship event at Punchestown; regular rider back aboard now following third behind top-class pointer Winged Leader in a race for women riders at Moig South in November; sets the standard.

Milan Forth
Never out of the first two in seven starts in points since pulled up on debut in a Lingstown event last March won by potential novice hurdling star Final Demand; three wins and four seconds, the latest behind the vastly experienced Winged Leader last month; outcome was in the balance when left clear by the fall of Magic Sadler two out at Moig South.
