7/4

Much improved form in 2 starts this season, in first-time cheekpieces/refitted with tongue strap when winning 19-runner handicap at Galway (2¾m) 16 days ago. Did well to overcome a poor position on that occasion and he looks to hold leading claims here.

Form: 3700-41

7/1

Built on promise he showed in a bumper when making a successful hurdling debut at Roscommon last summer. However, he's finished well held in 3 subsequent outings, including in handicaps at around 2½m the last twice. Tongue strap back on.

Form: 0/160-0

Latopix⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 105

5/1

Bumper winner who produced her best effort over hurdles when second in 18-runner maiden at Punchestown (2¾m) in June. Wasn't in the same form when filling that position at Limerick (2½m) last time, but she's one to note as she goes handicapping for leading yard.

Form: 70/38-22

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: Donagh Meyler| T: R P Cody| OR: 104| CD

13/2

Ran up to his best to win over fences/place over hurdles at this course in second half of last year. Best effort this season when runner-up in claimer at Roscommon (25f) in July, before finding things tougher in a Galway handicap. On a handy mark back here.

Form: 38-502U

Age: 11| Weight: 11-5| J: Michael Kenneally⁽⁵⁾| T: E Griffin| OR: 103| D

18/1

Resumed winning ways in a Fairyhouse handicap hurdle (2½m) in November. However, pulled up over fences when next seen in April and ran poorly back over hurdles at Punchestown (3m) on latest outing.

Form: 5/701P-0

Tolka Row³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Josh Williamson⁽³⁾| T: D M O'Brien| OR: 103

13/2

Runner-up here on third start in maidens and quickly bounced back from a lesser effort on handicap debut when winning 13-runner contest at Downpatrick (2¾m) a month ago. Respected now that he's up and running.

Form: 2-872P1

Boston Beach³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Danny Gilligan| T: G Elliott| OR: 100

14/1

Best effort when third of 16 in maiden at Listowel (2¼m) back in September 2024. Little impact on handicap debut later that year, before shaping as if needing the run after 19-month absence when down the field at Downpatrick (2¾m) in July. This should reveal more.

Form: 4030/0

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Anna McGuinness⁽⁷⁾| T: S Aherne| OR: 94

25/1

Left previous efforts behind when winning on his second handicap start at Thurles (2m) in November. Has failed to repeat that effort since, though, well held at Clonmel (2¼m) in May when last seen.

Moonlight Paradise^b1²²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Eoin Staples⁽⁵⁾| T: P Nolan| OR: 93

12/1

Winning pointer who, fitted with cheekpieces, showed more promise than previously over hurdles when fifth of 14 in handicap at Wexford (3m) 22 days ago. Could yet do better now switched to blinkers.

Form: 750-4P5

Ray Gun^t²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Daniel King| T: J P Flavin| OR: 90

25/1

Fair winner on the Flat for Jamie Osborne in Britain but hasn't offered much over hurdles for current yard, tried over a longer trip when ninth of 14 in handicap at Killarney (2½m) last month.

Forecasts

Mighty Berkshire (7/4), Latopix (5/1), Tullyveery Lad (13/2), Tolka Row (13/2), Ryan's Son (7/1), Jacko Star (10/1), Diamond Secret (10/1), Moonlight Paradise (12/1), Boston Beach (14/1), Good World (18/1), Ray Gun (25/1), Hillstar Blues (25/1)

MIGHTY BERKSHIRE has looked a different proposition the last twice, doing well to make up as much ground as he did when opening his account at Galway, and is taken to follow up with his yard in top form. Tolka Row is feared most on the back of his breakthrough success, with Diamond Secret also considered if taking up this engagement.
