Ended long losing run at Roscommon last month but ran badly at Gowran 12 days ago.
|
Further signs of decline this season so unlikely to be ending his losing run.
|
Winner at Navan last summer but ended the season out of sorts. Questions to answer back from 9 months off.
|
Hadn't shown a great deal in a handful of runs over hurdles for current connections but much more competitive back on the Flat last 2 starts and handicapper has given him a chance.
|
Showed ability in maidens but improvement required if she's to defy this opening mark.
|
Won twice last summer fitted with cheekpieces (including over C&D) and back to form with reappearance under her belt when just denied at Leopardstown. Proved a disappointment at Fairyhouse since but cheekpieces are back on.
|
Won at Gowran in September. All the better for return when second at Leopardstown but disappointed at Limerick since.
|
Leopardstown winner last summer who proved all the better for return when just denied at Gowran 12 days ago. Player.
|
Wide-margin winner at Navan in October but has struggled off revised mark since.
|
First form in maidens when third at Dundalk in January and backed that up at the second attempt in handicaps when fourth of 16 at Fairyhouse 4 weeks ago. That was his first start in 3 months so he's entitled to come on for that.
|
Belatedly off the mark at Dundalk in March with first-time blinkers and tongue strap combination presumably the catalyst but well held back on turf next 2 starts.
|
Improved switched to handicaps last 2 starts, no chance with winner when runner-up at Down Royal last month. Looks competitive on form.
|
Well held in 3 maidens on the Flat in 2024. Winner over hurdles last summer but below par since.
|
Half-brother to connections' very smart miler Siskin. Showed little in maidens but landed a bit of a gamble when making a winning handicap debut at Gowran 3 weeks ago, finding plenty to deny Neon Eyes close home. Should go well again with headgear now applied.
|
Improved for the step up in trip when just denied by Amrum at Gowran 23 days ago. Remains unexposed and she's clearly up to winning soon.

Neon Eyes (7/2), Oust (4/1), Amrum (4/1), Elusive Duke (9/2), Casheldale Lass (6/1), Jazz Forever (8/1), Ohmali (12/1), Priorstown (12/1), Derry Lad (14/1), Killyclogher Rose (20/1), Forlio (20/1), Glendower (25/1), Anchors Away (28/1), Doctor Grace (33/1), Cameclose (33/1), Rising Sky (40/1), Dancing Steve (50/1), I'm Flattered (125/1)
NEON EYES pulled clear of the rest when just denied by Amrum on her second start in a handicap at Gowran last time and she's taken to reverse the placings on 2 lb better terms. Elusive Duke looks the pick of the older horses.
- Neon Eyes7/2
