Miss Gitana²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Ben Coen| T: Joseph Murray| OR: 67| D

18/1

Won on Flat at Tramore (2m) in July. Possibly needed the outing on her first run since leaving Gordon Elliott when sixteenth of 20 in handicap at Navan (13f, good) 25 days ago but others more persuasive overall.

Celtic Druid²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Sadhbh Tormey⁽⁷⁾| T: T G McCourt| OR: 65

5/1

Has returned an improved performer, winning back-to-back 1½m Dundalk handicaps in recent months. Better form again when fourth of 20 in handicap at Navan (13f, good) 25 days ago. Can make presence felt.

Form: 557-114

Good Onya Mate¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Adam Grant⁽⁷⁾| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 65

Master Sydney^h1,t⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: P W Flynn| OR: 65

9/2

Creditable sixth of 14 in handicap at Roscommon (1½m, good, 16/1) 9 days ago. Booking of McMonagle a plus. Hood on 1st time, tongue strap back on. Should continue to give a good account.

Quiz Test²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Shane Foley| T: S Byrne| OR: 65

9/2

In frame in big-field handicaps on last 3 starts in 2025 and ran respectably from a poor position when ninth of 20 in handicap at Navan (13f, good) 25 days ago. Not ruled out.

Form: 50342-9

Eternal Echo²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Donagh O'Connor| T: David O'Sullivan| OR: 64

22/1

Bumper/maiden hurdle winner in the first half of 2025 for Gordon Elliott. Little impact in Flat maidens but worth betting check making handicap debut over longer trip.

Form: 3-90

(10)

Sonic Invader²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Colin Keane| T: N Meade| OR: 64

8/1

Attracted support at long odds but failed to improve when thirteenth of 23 on handicap debut at Navan (1¼m, good) 25 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Others preferred.

Form: 076-0

Eastern Blue Bird^t¹⁹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Chris Hayes| T: P A Fahy| OR: 63

66/1

Seemingly ran to a fair level on his final start in maidens last year but only thirteenth of 14 on handicap debut (50/1) at Dundalk (1½m). More needed after 6 months off.

Form: 8890-

Whats New^v¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Andrew Slattery| T: A Slattery| OR: 63

12/1

Successful at Roscommon (1½m) last summer but ran poorly on his only Flat outing this season at Navan in March, not looking keen in a first-time visor. Solid efforts when in frame in 2 juvenile hurdles since (without headgear both times) but others make greater appeal back in this sphere.

Form: 22415-9

(16)

Medieval Night¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: D Hogan| OR: 62

40/1

Best effort last season when second in 21-runner handicap at Leopardstown on reappearance. Left D. K. Weld before returning this season and has shaped as if needing the run on both outings. Significantly up in trip here.
