Battling Siki⁷³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Declan McDonogh| T: M Fahey

50/1

Showed more than first time up when fourth of 8 in maiden at Dundalk in January, leading until over 1f out. Will be of more interest once handicapping, though.

Form: 74

Captain Conby⁸⁵¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: Luke McAteer| T: E Sheehy

80/1

Useful hurdler who reached a similar level over fences back in 2023. However, has been absent over 2 years ahead of only his second start on the Flat, mid-field in a Roscommon maiden on previous outing.

Faithful Follower¹³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: P Hennessy

100/1

Fair winner over hurdles, successful in a Kilbeggan maiden last summer, but well held in 2 maidens at Dundalk on the Flat in November.

Form: 80-

Good Deal²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Robbie Colgan| T: P Magee

20/1

Bumper winner who got back on track over hurdles when fourth of 10 on handicap debut at Wexford 25 days ago. Task is now to build on latest effort switched to the Flat.

Jet Renegade⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Patrick McGettigan⁽⁵⁾| T: A Kinirons

40/1

Failed to progress in 2 bumpers following a promising debut. Bit of promise in a pair of maidens on the level at Dundalk early this year, though he needs another run for a handicap mark.

Form: 36

Joe Cool²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Adam Caffrey| T: N Meade

5/2

Encouraging third at Gowran (9.5f) on debut and, after 11 months off, left behind a lesser effort when second in 23-runner maiden at the Curragh (1m) last month. Looked suited by the emphasis on stamina last time so merits consideration up in trip.

Form: 30-2

Luker's Tipple^p¹¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Gary Carroll| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 77

9/2

Best effort on the Flat (fairly useful form) when runner-up in a Bellewstown maiden a year ago. Similar form over hurdles, though isn't straightforward having finished second on 7 occasions, including in a Thurles maiden when last seen in December.

Form: 06/20-

Miners Cabin⁸⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Leigh Roche| T: Kevin Coleman

100/1

Not much impact in a pair of academy hurdles and fared little better on debut in this sphere when sixth of 9 in maiden at Dundalk in January.

Form: 6

Must Meet Cecil^p²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Jack Kearney⁽³⁾| T: C Collins| C

50/1

Fair hurdler who has made the frame on several occasions this season without winning. After 4 months off, possibly needed the run when sixth of 8 in handicap at Wexford 25 days ago. Change of headgear (cheekpieces reapplied) for first start on the Flat.

Nothingbutadream

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Milo Malone⁽¹⁰⁾| T: C Timmons

50/1

Vadamos gelding. Dam ran twice over hurdles. Has a fairly useful standard to aim at on debut.

Tim Toe¹⁰⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Ronan Whelan| T: H De Bromhead

15/2

Looked a good prospect when winning a Thurles bumper on debut, his only start for P. M. J. Doyle. Not always fluent in 2 maiden hurdles, fifth of 21 at Leopardstown on latest outing in December, but he could fare better on the level.

Form:

(8)

Forthill¹⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Donagh O'Connor| T: P Twomey| OR: 74| BF

5/1

Showed more than on debut when runner-up in a Killarney maiden in October. However, she wasn't able to build on that effort when third in 23-runner contest at the Curragh the following month and has been off since.

Form: 523-

(14)

Grennanstown Lady¹⁶⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: James Ryan| T: G Keane

125/1

Little impact in a trio of maiden hurdles last year, well-beaten fourth of 9 at Sligo on latest outing in October. Absent over 5 months ahead of debut in this sphere.

Form:

Jannah Star²⁰¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: J M Sheridan| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 76| BF

11/2

Well-bred filly who placed on her first 4 starts in maidens last year. In first-time cheekpieces, turned in her first below-par effort when fourth of 12 at Listowel in September, but she could be in the mix with headgear discarded on return.

Form: 32234-

(9)

Lady Mairen⁵⁶⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Billy Lee| T: P Twomey| OR: 87

3/1

Fairly useful form in 3 outings at 2 yrs, fourth of 8 in Group 3 at the Curragh on second occasion. Ran to a similar level when third of 11 in maiden at Gowran when last seen 18 months ago, but it could be significant that her top yard are persevering with her.

Forecasts

Joe Cool (5/2), Lady Mairen (3/1), Luker's Tipple (9/2), Forthill (5/1), Jannah Star (11/2), Tim Toe (15/2), Good Deal (20/1), Beechingstoke (33/1), Jet Renegade (40/1), Battling Siki (50/1), Must Meet Cecil (50/1), Nothingbutadream (50/1), Captain Conby (80/1), Faithful Follower (100/1), Miners Cabin (100/1), Grennanstown Lady (125/1), Nelliestar (400/1)

LADY MAIREN made the frame all 3 starts as a 2-y-o, including in a Group 3 at the Curragh on only her second run, and it looks interesting that her respected yard are bringing her back having missed last season. Joe Cool showed much improved form on his return and is feared most ahead of Jannah Star.
