Runners Spotlight

R21
Midleton Rare
Favorite

First reserve; won off 6lb lower at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day but pulled up twice since and beaten 19.5l at Naas on latest; new headgear combination needs to spark.

Jockey: Conor Stone-WalshTrainer: Ian Patrick Donoghue
R22
Dunany Point

Second reserve; 1-13 over hurdles; heavy defeat at Naas on latest but may have needed that and testing ground wasn't ideal; should come on for that but may be on a tough mark (11lb above sole win).

Jockey: Trainer: Conor David Maxwell
1
Fool Me Once

One of two for yard; some fair efforts in defeat last year but pulled up on heavy ground when last seen in November at Fairyhouse; these conditions more suitable, capable off this mark and not dismissed dropped in grade.

Jockey: Tom BuckleyTrainer: Gavin Cromwell
2
Tuckmill

Rated 12lb higher over fences but has lost way since a fine run at Leopardstown in December 2024; pulled up when last seen in August and might need this.

Jockey: Mr R M McParland(7)Trainer: Peter Fahey
3
Rolly Bowley Boy

On losing run since Clonmel win in January 2023; failed to complete last four starts for Philip Rothwell; best watched on first run for new yard.

Jockey: J J SlevinTrainer: P J F Murphy
