5/6

Fair Flat winner. Much improved on exploits in juvenile hurdles when running out a good winner on handicap debut at Punchestown (2m) 24 days ago. Revised mark shouldn't prevent another bold bid with further progress anticipated.

Katzoff¹⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Miss R Murphy⁽⁴⁾| T: J Morrison| OR: 85| BF

28/1

5/1, eighth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Gowran (16f, soft) 146 days ago, underfoot conditions a possible excuse. Still, he does need to pull out a bit more if he's to open his account here.

14/1

Fair winner at 11f on the Flat, adding to his tally at Dundalk (10.7f) in November. No great encouragement over hurdles but does now get a crack at handicaps for shrewd stable. Market should guide.

THEONEWEDREAMOF showed improved form when getting off the mark on handicap debut at Punchestown 24 days ago and, with further progress anticipated, she can take full advantage of her handy 4-y-o allowance and follow up. Toor Moment, Alphonse Le Grande and Tullyhogue Fort are a trio of others to consider.
