Runners Spotlight

1
Dutch Gold
Favorite

Course winner over 1m2f in October 2023 but winless since; tailed off in the Lincolnshire over 1m here 13 days ago ago; step up in trip a plus but hard to fancy for now.

Jockey: Adam CaffreyTrainer: Noel Meade
2
Neptunes Staircase

Off the track since dominant maiden win at Roscommon in July 2024 (1m4f, good); handles testing ground and has C&D form so he needs checking in the market.

Jockey: Gary CarrollTrainer: G M Lyons
3
Factual Fact

Went down by a nose in a C&D maiden on his last flat start last November; pulled up over hurdles on sole start since; opening mark looks fair and worth monitoring in the market on seasonal return and handicap debut.

Jockey: W J LeeTrainer: Henry De Bromhead
4
Blue Moon Boy

Two-time winner on the Flat; won off 3lb lower at Killarney (1m3f, soft) last October; returns to the level after three runs over hurdles so won't lack for fitness; worth considering.

Jockey: Patrick McGettigan(7)Trainer: Andrew Kinirons
5
God Of Thunder

Dual purpose; 2-16 on the Flat, the wins coming on the AW and on good ground at Limerick; just 1lb above that Limerick win but best form on turf is on good ground and recent AW runs have been moderate; others preferred.

Jockey: J M SheridanTrainer: Denis Gerard Hogan
