Runners Spotlight

1
Atlantian
Favorite

Placed over hurdles at a modest level in 2023; recent point winner for this rider at Knockanohill; a lot more on his plate here.

Jockey: Mr J Costello(4)Trainer: A J Martin
2
Begger

Has won only one of his ten starts in points; weak form since Moig South maiden win in the autumn campaign; unlikely to make an impact in this grade.

Jockey: Ms H Phillips(2)Trainer: Miss Elizabeth Anne Lalor
3
Dromleigh

Has won his three starts in points since pulled up in a hunter chase at Clonmel in January; made the favourite Hearts And Spades work hard for his Dromahane win, and may again give his younger rival most to do.

Jockey: Mr D DoyleTrainer: Seamus Murnane
4
Focus Point

Seven wins in points; had been off the track for a long time before last month's second in a hunter chase at Down Royal; good prospects of confirming form with Sampoet.

Jockey: Mr D T Hyde(2)Trainer: T E Hyde
5
Hearts And Spades

Outstanding form in points since October, winning six of his seven races, including a hard-earned victory over Dromleigh at Dromahane in December; his winning run came to an end at Portrush nine days ago; no disgrace in losing out by a neck to Winged Leader, the most prolific Irish points winner in history (37 wins).
