Runners Spotlight

1
Disco Boy
Favorite

Maiden produced much less encouraging runs last summer after a good 1m6f Gowran effort ; made seasonal return over 1m4f here last timr when 4.25l behind in eighth (denied a clear run from 2f out); others more appealing.

Jockey: Shane FoleyTrainer: Sean Byrne
2
Jazz Forever

Beat Numidia by 2.25l here over 10.5f in his sole win from 27 starts in 2024; generally poor form in 2025; decent 4l fourth here in January (10.5f) but beaten 28l over hurdles last time; tries this trip on the Flat for the first time.

Jockey: Leigh RocheTrainer: Paul W Flynn
3
Slowdownbarney

1-22 with his win coming comfortably over 1m6f at Wolverhampton off 59 in April last year; not much encouragement in outings at this track but a visor was reapplied (retained) at Wolverhampton last time and ran his best race for some time (although still a 3.25l fifth of seven); others preferred.

Jockey: Siobhan Rutledge(3)Trainer: John C McConnell
4
Hobart

Unplaced in four Flat runs; has been running over hurdles recently and went very close in a Down Royal maiden hurdle in August (2m4f, good to firm); tailed off at Navan when last seen (2m, soft to heavy); makes AW debut now.

Jockey: W J LeeTrainer: J A Nash
5
Mephisto

Dual C&D winner in 2023; racked up three back-to-back handicap hurdle victories last summer; below his best in two September runs when last seen; should give a good account of himself back here.

Jockey: Colin KeaneTrainer: Gerard Keane
