Verdict
This looks pretty open and it's worth siding with OHAILBHIC, who ended last season's truncated campaign on something of a low-key note but he caught the eye on a couple of occasions off higher marks than this in 2024 (including on his seasonal reappearance) and shapes as though this intermediate trip could be ideal.

VerdictFirst run since leaving Jane Chapple-Hyam and hooded for 1st time (also worse a first-time tongue strap) when winning 9-runner maiden at Dundalk (8f) 39 days ago. 0-9 on turf but conditions won't be a problem and she's a must for the shortlist.- 9.

VerdictLast of 6 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good to firm, 4/1). Off 8 months (gelded in the interim) and he's not without hope judged on what he showed in a couple of 6f Naas handicaps last season. This will be his first try at 7f and it could prove to be ideal. - Unnamed Favourite
