Take Revenge (IRE)

Made all in a Ballyragget point-to-point and again set the pace when beating all bar the smart Tornado Flyer in an 18-runner 2m4f Punchestown maiden hurdle. Looks sure to win a similar event and make his mark over fences in time.

Dancing On My Own (IRE)

Well-bred gelding who showed some promise on debut at Cork and made a very pleasing reappearance in a 29-runner two-mile maiden hurdle at Navan. Finished strongly to beat all bar well-regarded winner, and has the size and scope to progress. Should appreciate a step up in trip.

Grandmaster Flash (IRE)

Well-fancied on debut and drew clear with more experienced fellow joint-favourite when runner-up over 7f at Dundalk. Looks sure to win a maiden at this venue and should appreciate a step up in trip.

Munfallet (IRE)

Won six times, all when making the running over six furlongs, in England and made a bright start on his Irish debut at Dundalk when coming home well under tender handling over a mile. Still on a reasonable mark despite 7lb hike for that run, and his trainer does well with a small string.

Entoucas (FR)

Won a 3yo bumper in France and made a pleasing start for current connections over hurdles at Gowran Park where he raced quite keenly and made a few mistakes. Sure to benefit from that experience.
