Irish Injured Jockeys Handicap

Promise on soft and heavy ground in maidens at 6f-7.5f for Olly Murphy last year; went close in first two runs for this yard in 1m maidens at Dundalk in December and off since; conditions fine and could go well on handicap debut.

First reserve; French recruit's best run came on the AW (8.5f) on his final start for Nicolas Le Roch; sole turf run not as good on very soft ground; best watched on handicap debut for new yard.

Confirmed promise of Thurles debut effort when winning an 8.5f maiden here by a neck on heavy ground second time up in October; similar conditions here and she is respected on handicap debut.

1-7 in his 2yo campaign; won 7f nursery on good ground at Down Royal in September off 63 and is now 17lb higher after getting a big hike for a fine effort in a rated race at Listowel; has been gelded; unproven on very testing ground but is the choice of McMonagle; can't discount.

Second runner for yard; 0-6 as a 2yo but ran well in defeat; best effort a 0.5l second of 16 at the Curragh (7f, good) off 72 in September; not as good upped to 1m on soft off 6lb higher at Leopardstown next time and well beaten back there on return on good; may need better ground.
