Only For Our Man²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Alan O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: P Nolan| OR: 100| D

9/4

Improved further when winning 2¾m novice handicap at Down Royal last month by 7 lengths from Hitthehayson. Up another 7 lb but open to further progress now tackling 3m and looks very much one to consider for a yard enjoying a fruitful spring.

Empire Walk⁹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Michael Kenneally⁽⁵⁾| T: J Motherway| OR: 97

8/1

Lightly raced gelding who caught the eye when runner-up in 16-runner maiden at Naas in 2025/26 but proved a massive let-down on handicap debut next time. Top conditional booked and remains likely to do better at some stage.

Form: 54752/P-

Ranger Billy^t³¹¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-2| J: Jack Gilligan⁽⁵⁾| T: K A Heffernan| OR: 88| D

50/1

Badly out of sorts when last seen 9 months ago and looks opposable on debut for new yard.

Form: 4215P0/

Hay Baby^h¹⁷⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Sam Ewing| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 87| D

7/1

Point winner who attracted support on occasions last season but did not go on as expected in handicaps. Reverts to hurdling after a mid-field finish in a handicap chase at Punchestown 6 months ago.

Form: 065456/

Imperial Tune²⁹⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: Alan Casey⁽⁷⁾| T: L Casey| OR: 86

50/1

Maiden hurdler/chaser that went with little encouragement on both hurdling starts in 2025/26.

Form: 573298/

Orinoco Walk³⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr J C Barry| T: R Dunne| OR: 86

33/1

Shaped with a bit of promise on hurdling bow but failed to build on that both starts since and needs to improve now handicapping.

Form: 49/7590-

Halsafari²¹

Age: 13| Weight: 10-13| J: Cian Quirke| T: J Barcoe| OR: 85| C

12/1

Veteran who won Cork handicap hurdle last season. Didn't shape too badly when fourth in handicap chase at Tramore last month but remains opposable over hurdles.

Form: 577364-

Navy Waves^p²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Ryan Treacy| T: Mrs J Cashin| OR: 85

16/1

In and out of form since winning at Galway last season but turned in a respectable effort when third behind Lady Bluebird in a 21f handicap at Tramore last time. The return to 3m should suit, but a career best will be needed if she's to resume winning ways here.

Form: 108763/

Three County Star³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Ben Harvey| T: B Mortell| OR: 82

11/1

Showed more than previously when (150/1) fifth of 13 in a Cork novice last time but will need to take another significant step forward reverting to handicap company here.

Form: 8908/85-

Tantrum Boy¹⁶⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: J J Slevin| T: B McMahon| OR: 81

25/1

Well held in trio of maiden hurdles. Up significantly in trip on handicap bow, which ought to suit on pedigree, but yard is quiet at present.

Form: 070/

Annie Button^p1⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Danny Gilligan| T: P Flood| OR: 78| BF

11/2

Left previous form behind when ¾-length second of 11 to Walk In The Clouds in handicap hurdle at Naas in March. Never dangerous in similar event last time but claims if bouncing back over this longer trip.

Form: 790P/26-

Head For Home^p²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Phillip Enright| T: O McKiernan| OR: 78

16/1

Showed first form in handicap company when second of 20 at Punchestown in first-time cheekpieces last October, but failed to repeat that in 2 subsequent starts, including on return from 5-month absence in April.

Form: B0025P/

Made In The Woods^p1³⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: Gary Noonan| T: N Lee| OR: 78

20/1

First run since leaving Michael Winters when eighth of 14 in handicap chase at Clonmel (23f) 38 days ago, doing too much too soon. Switches from chase to hurdles. Possibilities.

Form: 7P0668/

Clever Court^p1¹¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Dylan Robinson| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 77

80/1

Little shown in handful of runs in maiden/handicap hurdles. Up in trip. Wears first-time cheekpieces.

Form: P700P/P-

Toor Moon²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-5| J: Liam Quinlan| T: Ms M Flynn| OR: 77

16/1

Maiden handicap hurdler/chaser who hit the frame on 6 occasions last season. Place claims if bouncing back from poor effort over fences last time.

Form: 2/94837-

Moonshine Girl^p⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-4| J: Shane O'Callaghan⁽⁵⁾| T: P J Gilligan| OR: 76

14/1

Fair maiden hurdler who shaped encouragingly when third at Sligo (21.1f, good to soft) on her debut over fences but has run poorly on both outings since. Something to prove back hurdling.

Form: 0483P8/

Larkins Lane^h²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Tiernan Power Roche| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 74

16/1

Best recent effort when fifth of 16 in a 19f handicap hurdle at Clonmel in March. Should stay 3m but this looks far too competitive.

Form: 0P0458/

Appian Way^p²¹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Danny Power⁽⁷⁾| T: Ms M Flynn| OR: 72

66/1

Gelding on long losing run and badly out of sorts.

Form: 6699/09-

Form: P49759/

I See Fog⁵⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Rian Lane⁽⁷⁾| T: Sean Allen| OR: 80

25/1

Little show in trio of maidens and a handicap over hurdles. Runner-up in point since last seen under Rules (Mar 15). RESERVE.

Form: 09/3322-

Sallap²⁰⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: S Curling| OR: 85

20/1

Won at Clonmel (14/1) last October but fell at the last when in front at Thurles a fortnight later and has been absent since. Hard to assess after such a break. RESERVE

Forecasts

Only For Our Man (9/4), Mistyburn (5/1), Annie Button (11/2), Hay Baby (7/1), Empire Walk (8/1), Three County Star (11/1), Halsafari (12/1), Moonshine Girl (14/1), Head For Home (16/1), Navy Waves (16/1), Larkins Lane (16/1), Toor Moon (16/1), Sallap (20/1), Made In The Woods (20/1), Millie B (20/1), I See Fog (25/1), Tantrum Boy (25/1), Orinoco Walk (33/1), Back The West (40/1), Imperial Tune (50/1), Journey So Far (50/1), Ranger Billy (50/1), Appian Way (66/1), Clever Court (80/1)

ONLY FOR OUR MAN arrives on an upward curve and, with the step up to 3m expected to suit, is taken to follow up his recent success. Annie Button has solid claims on the back of a second at Naas in March, while Empire Walk and Made In The Woods are also respected in an open-looking affair.
