Verdict

A wide-open sprint to kick things off and it could pay to take a chance on INISHMOT PRINCE, who should come on from his recent Laytown reappearance and perhaps more pertinently his usual visor is back on. Caffu Zafeen is sure to be popular arriving on a hat-trick, but he may have to settle for silver, with stable-switcher Blue Anthem and Happy Henry another couple worthy of consideration, too.

3	Took advantage of reduced mark when recording a tenth success at this course in January. Ran below form after 6 months off at Laytown recently but may just have needed the outing. One to look out for with his usual visor quickly reapplied. 1st Pick 3 Inishmot Prince (Ire) Jockey: J. J. G. Ryan Trainer: T. G. Mccourt, Ireland J: J. J. G. Ryan T: T. G.

1	Capitalised on a falling mark when opening account under this rider in 17-runner event at Fairyhouse last month. Strong in the betting and didn't need to improve to follow up under a penalty in 13-runner event at this course (6f) last week. 8 lb higher now but respected in hat-trick bid. 2nd Pick 1 Caffu Zafeen (Ire) Jockey: S. A. Wallace Trainer: Paul W. Flynn, Ireland J: S. A. Wallace T: Paul W. Flynn, Ireland	91	-	-	-	56%	4/5

6	A 3-time winner for George Boughey in 2025. Struggled initially for G. O'Leary but confirmed return to form dropped into a claimer for the first time when second of 10 at Laytown (6f) just over 3 weeks ago.
