Runners Spotlight

NR
Leroy Leroy
Favorite

First reserve; dual-purpose winner in Britain with last win coming in 2021; not a lot of runs in recent times; slight encouragement in 10l fifth at Wexford last time.

Jockey: Trainer: John Joseph Hanlon
NR
Rock Ya Boy Ya

Second reserve; 28-race maiden on Flat and over hurdles; breakthrough doesn't seem imminent based on return to action at Galway last time.

Jockey: Alix Balfe(7)Trainer: Francis Casey
1
Rodney Bay

Winner on the Flat and over hurdles, with his hurdles win coming in a maiden at this track in 2022; not a lot of encouragement in recent runs; new stable needs to spark something.

Jockey: Mr N McParlanTrainer: R J Tumilty
2
Only One Plan

Added his third hurdles win at Ballinrobe in July (2m1f, good) off 96; not at the same level in two runs following that off 4lb higher; dropped 1lb now, but his form is erratic.

Jockey: Philip Donovan(3)Trainer: M Flannery
3
Chasing Crowns

Failed to complete in four point-to-point starts; best of four maiden hurdle runs was a 6.5l fifth last month at Wexford at 200-1; may do better in handicaps and wears first-time cheekpieces but others preferred.

Jockey: Paddy Cody(7)Trainer: E Sheehy
