Herculaneum

Most recent of three hurdle wins was in May 2024; off since later that year; may need this against that background.

High Notions

Beat a subsequent winner at Fairyhouse in October; dropped in class after a Grade 3 bid at Down Royal; fair chance she will compete effectively from this mark.

Jockey: Eoin Staples(5)Trainer: Stephen Gerard Carey
3
Magic Boum

Lost form last season after course 2m maiden win; failed to feature on seasonal debut at Limerick; needs a revival in form.

Jockey: Paddy Cleary(7)Trainer: Gordon Elliott
4
One Big Boum

Won back-to-back races, including 2m4f Cork handicap on soft in 2024; no sign of his best form since then; has dropped in the ratings and might not be a forlorn hope if blinkers do the trick.
