Races CRS Listowel - IRE

Not raced for eight months. Closed off last preparation when seventh in a LR (4626m) at Limerick, beaten 18 lengths. Expected to play a major role.

Did not finish the race in a hurdle (3922m) at Clonmel last start following a ninth in a hurdle (4023m) at Killarney the run prior. No surprise to see him back in form today.

Did a good job to finish second two back in a point to point (4828m) at Kildorrery P2p but could only manage fourth in a steeplechase (4023m) at Cork last time, arriving 9 lengths behind the winner. Hard to have on recent efforts.

Impressed when he scored two runs ago in a novice hurdle (4425m) at Down Royal. Did a good job to finish third more recently in a hurdle (4023m) at Killarney, beaten just 3.5 lengths. Worth another chance.

Well beaten resuming in a hurdle (3319m) at Punchestown after a poor finish to last campaign. Unlikely to play a major role today.

Returns from a 77-day spell. Finished off last prep with a win in a maiden hurdle (3118m) at Thurles, scoring by 7 lengths. Sure to feature on his best form.

Finished 11th two runs back in a G2 hurdle (4131m) at Newbury then she failed to finish the race in a steeplechase (3218m) at Wexford last time out. Nicely-placed to make amends.

Did a good job to clock-in third two back in a maiden hurdle (3419m) at Limerick. Improved to salute in a maiden hurdle (3319m) at Tramore 48 days ago, arriving one length ahead of her rivals. Set to continue the fine recent form.

Returns from a 191-day spell. Generally goes well when fresh, with three placings from five attempts. Kicked off last prep with a sound second in a maiden hurdle (3218m) at Fairyhouse.

Finished fifth when fresh from a spell last start in a novice hurdle (4425m) at Down Royal, with today's rider Paddy Hanlon aboard. Needs to go up a level.

Well off best last start, finishing 12th and beaten 20 lengths in a hurdle (3922m) at Punchestown. Can't see him playing a major role on latest offering. Unlikely to feature given current form.

Eight-year-old gelding who returns from a break. Wound up last campaign with a 15th in a hurdle (4023m) at Fairyhouse. Would need to be on best behaviour to threaten.

Returned from a layoff last time out in a hurdle (3419m) at Killarney, finishing fifth when partnered by today's rider Gary Noonan. Will strip fitter and makes plenty of appeal.

Finished fifth when resuming two back in a maiden hurdle (3218m) at Gowran Park. Made amends last time to salute in a maiden hurdle (3419m) at Ballinrobe by 1.3 lengths. Can add to the recent impressive result.

Was disappointing first up last start in a novice hurdle (3218m) at Fairyhouse on April 21. Others rate better so prepared to risk again.

Is experiencing a win-drought of more than a year. Finished ninth, beaten 15 lengths, at his latest appearance in a steeplechase (4123m) at Killarney. Confidence low and needs to do more.

Was very good when returning from a 125-day layoff most recently, beaten 6 lengths into third in a hurdle (3822m) at Limerick. Fitter and will be tough to beat.
