Malbay Madness
Galway festival winner on the Flat in 2023 for Emmet Mullins; 0-9 hurdling, and twice a beaten favourite for Mullins; Limerick fifth in December was satisfactory; has failed to progress from that.

High Honour
Lost form after 2m1f Sligo win last August, struggling in races at 2m4f; drop in trip produced a return to form in a 2m event at Leopardstown last Sunday, when he finished second at 33-1; each-way chance if repeating that form.

Hard to win with, 1-22 on Flat, 1-20 over hurdles; showed a return to something like his best with placed efforts at Clonmel and Cork in December.

Bayou Belle
33-race maiden under all codes; highly consistent last summer/autumn; made the frame in all six handicap hurdle runs between July and October; showed her best form in finishing second in three races at Wexford; best on a sound surface, may find this too testing after a break.

Comanche Moon
Beaten an average of around 70l in four maiden starts; got closest so far on latest when 42l eighth of 18 at Clonmel; hard to assess but opening mark seems high; worth a check in the market all the same.

Flat winner; 0-14 over hurdles, placed only once; recent form provides no encouragement; down the field as the outsider of three runners for the stable in a recent claimer at Clonmel.

Seskin Flash
Respectable efforts in a couple of maiden hurdles on good ground last June; not a bad effort in mid-field at Thurles in November in first handicap; improved from that when fourth in a 22-runner contest over 2m4f at Cork in December; first run for Philip Dempsey who drops him back to 2m.

Three-time Flat winner; never in the first three over hurdles, though has shown some ability in handicaps at Downpatrick; needs to improve from stable debut at Fairyhouse.

It's Never Simple
Big price in four maiden outings and same story on handicap debut when in rear over C&D trip last April; tongue-tie fitted now; precautionary market check advised.

No Big Deal
Made the frame for the first time at Limerick in November but was beaten 21l in fourth; questions to answer after a disappointing Clonmel run in January; 7-2 chance on that occasion, unwise to rule out.

Marie's March
Ordinary form in three maiden runs for Willie Mullins; beaten 23l in first start for this yard in a mares' maiden at Fairyhouse; dropped away rapidly from two out on handicap debut at Leopardstown on Monday; quick reappearance suggests an excuse may have been found for her poor effort.

14-race maiden, placed twice late in 2024; encouraging second at Clonmel in December; tended to jump left at Fairyhouse 11 days later; needs to bounce back from a below-par display at Down Royal.

Best effort over hurdles when fifth at Roscommon last June; jumped poorly in a chase at Thurles last time; trainer probably has a better chance with Mayos Vendangeur.

Final hurdle run last term was promising, fourth in a 15-runner handicap over 2m6f at Down Royal; poor run when 6-1 in a 3m Punchestown handicap in December; restored to form on Flat when winning a 2m handicap at Dundalk in January; 2m may be a bit sharp over hurdles.
