Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr J C Barry| T: P Twomey| OR: 92| BF

5/4

Winner of a Roscommon maiden (1½m) on debut last summer and acquitted himself well when second in minor event at Galway (1¾m) next time. After 9 months off, beaten only by one who had race fitness on his side at Killarney 19 days ago. Not taken lightly.

Form: 12-2

The Mediator^b²²²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Ms Claire E O'Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: G Elliott| OR: 79

20/1

Took advantage of reduced mark when getting off the mark on the Flat at Clonmel (16.5f) in September. Ran at least as well when placed both starts the following month, third of 12 in amateurs event at the Curragh (1½m) when last seen 7 months ago.

Act Of God¹⁰⁰⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss Megan E Harris⁽⁷⁾| T: D Budds| OR: 73

33/1

Useful hurdler/fairly useful chaser at best. However, was no better than mid-division in 2 handicaps on the Flat in summer 2023 and ran poorly over hurdles when last seen under Rules for E. J. O'Grady well over 2 years ago. Second of 4 in a point 8 days ago.

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr W T Ladd Finn⁽⁷⁾| T: D E Finn| OR: 51

200/1

His third in a Curragh maiden back in October 2022 remains very much a standout effort. After an absence of over 2 years, offered little making handicap debut over 17f at Killarney 19 days ago.

Form: 38096/9

Ndaawi^p⁵⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr H C Swan| T: G Elliott| OR: 90

8/13

Last year's Galway Hurdle winner who shaped well on the Flat after 3-month break when never-nearer third of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (1m) in February. Returned to winning ways over hurdles last time and he looks a strong contender back up in trip on the level.

Form: 710/46-3

Talking Tough^p²¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr C G Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: S M Duffy| OR: 40

200/1

Both wins came back in the summer of 2020 and his form has gone the wrong way, again finishing well held at Galway when last seen 7 months ago.

Forecasts

Ndaawi (8/13), Sky Captain (5/4), Quinta Do Lago (8/1), The Mediator (20/1), Act Of God (33/1), Chain Of Destiny (200/1), Talking Tough (200/1)

Smart over hurdles, NDAAWI ran his best race on the Flat when a close third at Dundalk in February and he is taken to follow up last month's hurdle success. Sky Captain could still have more to offer with his reappearance run behind him and is feared most, ahead of Quinta do Lago who is one to note making his debut in this sphere.
