11/1
Scored over this trip at Listowel in summer 2024 and placed on 2 of next 3 starts on Flat/over hurdles. Excuses on final outing but betting can prove best guide having been absent for 15 months ahead of this.

4/1
Flat/hurdles winner in August but exploits mixed under both codes thereafter last year. However, he's certainly no forlorn hope returned to this sphere from what looks a workable mark.

Twice a winner over hurdles last year prior to finding his jumping letting him down over fences at Wexford when last seen in October. Betting can likely prove a useful guide returning to this sphere after 5 months off.

11/2
Lightly-raced maiden who shaped rather encouragingly having attracted support when midfield in 19-runner handicap over this trip at the Curragh in October. Feasible to think there's more to come as a 4-y-o.

Successful from an 8 lb lower mark at Roscommon (1½m) last summer but record has become rather patchy over hurdles since, tailed off at Fairyhouse 37 days ago. Bounce back called for returned to this sphere in a change of headgear.

Resumed winning ways over hurdles at Listowel prior to following up on Flat at Thurles (2m) in October. Ran another cracker when second in former sphere on final start and definite player if arriving in same form following 5 months off.

Little impact in 5 starts to date, never remotely competitive making handicap debut at Galway in August. Much more needed.

On a lengthy losing run and he produced a discouraging effort when last seen over fences in the autumn. Passed over.

Back to winning ways over hurdles in October and turned out quickly (also visored) quickly followed up on the Flat at Galway later that month. Found Grade 3 company beyond her over hurdles on final start but not discounted now returning to action.

Wide-margin winner over hurdles at Ballinrobe last summer who ran well when third on the Flat at Bellewstown in October. Return to this longer trip will suit on that evidence and conditions will hold no fears.

Veteran dual-purpose performer who finished a respectable third over fences at Down Royal 12 months ago. However, he looks best watched operating from out of the weights on this belated return to action.

Forecasts

Bhean Saibhre (3/1), Grann's Boy (7/2), Kool One (4/1), Earthsong (11/2), Whats New (10/1), Sir Allen (11/1), You Make Me Smile (12/1), Duty Bound (12/1), Takarengo (22/1), Clifftop (33/1), Young Churchill (40/1), Mystic Rose (66/1)

Verdict

GRANN'S BOY ended last season in top form, successful under both codes prior to a smashing second over hurdles at Galway in October. He can pick up where he left off and earns the vote back in this sphere. Kool One and Earthsong are a couple of the likelier dangers.
