Coq Noir³²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr H C Swan| T: G Elliott

5/1

€200,000 point winner (April 2025). Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Kruger Park (21f-3¼m winner, by Kapgarde). Makes clear appeal starting out in this sphere for top yard.

Form: 1-

Fitzroy

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Miss J Townend| T: W P Mullins

6/1

Nirvana du Berlais gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including useful hurdler/smart chaser Thyme White and dual bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Meatloaf. Got to be respected on debut.

Form:

Gillane³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Eoghan Finegan⁽⁷⁾| T: G P Cromwell| BF

6/1

Fair form in bumpers/maiden hurdles and latest run in Limerick bumper for new yard best excused. Might be vulnerable here.

Form: 263-523

Minella Machine⁸¹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr J L Gleeson| T: H De Bromhead

4/5

Well bred and bought for €350,000 after winning sole outing in points. Showed plenty amidst inexperience when fourth to Champion Bumper winner The Mourne Rambler at Leopardstown. Entitled to improve and obvious claims.

Form: 1-4

Some See Stars⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Miss H Ross⁽⁷⁾| T: A L T Moore

22/1

Best effort in bumpers when second of 5 at Fairyhouse at the turn of the year. Presumably unsuited by a return to testing conditions last time but vulnerable in this.

Form: 5/826

MINELLA MACHINE showed plenty when chasing home the Champion Bumper winner The Mourne Rambler at Leopardstown at Christmas and with improvement forthcoming he's preferred to appealing newcomers Fitzroy and Coq Noir.
