Malbay Madness
Galway festival winner on the Flat in 2023 for Emmet Mullins; disappointed when sent off favourite for Galway festival handicap hurdle last summer; never figured in the Lartigue at Listowel on first run for this stable; better at Limerick but needs to raise his game.

Voice Of Reason
Flat winner for Ger Lyons; best run over hurdles when third in a 2m handicap at Cork in November; hard to fancy on the evidence of four subsequent runs; 50-1 when finishing in mid-division at Punchestown last Sunday.

Struggled on the Flat last autumn after running in three maiden hurdles; got back on track when fourth of 15 on handicap debut at Clonmel; produced another solid display when third at Limerick; strong contender if seeing out this longer trip.

Only one win from 19 starts over hurdles, but placed eight times; generally below her best in 2024; others preferred.

Lakota Blue
Won AQPS event over just short of 1m4f last June on sole French start; well beaten on Irish/hurdles debut; two much-improved efforts at Punchestown and Cork before disappointing Limerick run; cheekpieces fitted now for handicap debut.

Malton Groove
0-8 over hurdles; seems more effective as a chaser, though ran poorly on the last of three handicap chase runs at Wexford during the summer; best effort was in July on good ground.

Duffys Hodey
Second on his return at Tipperary in November and came on for that when going one better at Clonmel last month; stayed on well when third of 18 at Limerick; did well to peg back a front-runner at Fairyhouse on Thursday; won easily in the end; not ruled out under a penalty if taking his chance.

Placed in a small-field bumper last season; ordinary form over hurdles; beaten 22l in fourth on handicap debut at Limerick, not helped by interference two out.

Not Before Time
Has failed to finish closer than tenth in three handicap attempts; well held by Duffys Hodey on running at Tipperary in November; hard to make a case for her.

Lariat
Two Flat wins; 0-18 hurdling; went closest yet on second start for current yard over 2m5f at Fairyhouse in November; not as good over 3m at Punchestown; fair effort when fifth behind Duffys Hodey in a strong-run race at Fairyhouse on Thursday.

Jonny Mansie
Last of three on chase debut at Thurles in November; took a big step in the right direction when reverting to hurdles at Punchestown on Monday, making a lot of the running in a 2m6f event and holding on for third despite some very sloppy jumping; definite chance if a visor helps his concentration.
