Raised 8lb for winning here four weeks ago, Cornmarket has obvious prospects but may not cope with fifth-placed COIS FHARRAIGE who shaped well until running out of steam late. Bal Kauto is more effective as a chaser but could pick up a race of this standard at some stage. Cullagh Pride also makes some appeal but might not be suited by any easing in the ground.

Third in a maiden at Tramore 11 days ago; seems vulnerable on the evidence of Downpatrick handicap run; form has featured a second placing in a claiming race.
Struggled on winter ground, pulled up in three consecutive outings; much more like it when second at Ballinrobe a month ago; comes into the reckoning now.
C&D winner in 2022; runner-up three times in April/May 2023 before losing form; promising sign of a return to her best with Ballinrobe second a fortnight ago.
Better chaser than hurdler; in fine shape in 2023, compiling a hat-trick; missed 2024 and has been campaigned over hurdles this year in a bid to exploit a lower mark; worth another shot in this discipline after recent Listowel third.
0-5 over hurdles for Robert Tyner; beaten over 20l in first two handicaps; took a heavy fall at the sixth at Limerick on stable debut; 25-1 then, hard to make a case for him.
Made a winning stable debut at this venue last month; strong contender despite 8lb rise; not guaranteed to uphold form with fifth-placed Cois Fharraige.
Showed very little in six starts for his previous trainer, including in two handicaps; took a step in the right direction at this venue on latest when fifth behind today's rival Cornmarket; ran out of steam late, should be sharper now and has prospects of turning the tables.
Weak hurdles form early in her career; caused a surprise with a recent maiden point win at Necarne, probably did not have much to beat; cheekpieces on now.
