Land Of The Giants
Irish raider LAND OF THE GIANTS ran a cracker when narrowly denied at Cork recently and can strike for Ado McGuinness. Dingwall has been knocking on the door on all-weather in recent starts and is second choice. Uncle Liam and Runninsonofagun were in good form when last seen in the autumn.

Remains a maiden after 17 starts but he was close second of 18 in handicap at Cork (1m, good to soft) 11 days ago.

0-9 but he ended 2025 with 3 good runner-up efforts around 1m (including here).

Turf winner for Marcus Tregoning in 2024. Unable to make a significant impact for that yard last year but it could be a different story having joined Jim Goldie ahead of her reappearance.

Winner of weak maiden at Ripon (1m, good to firm) last summer. Placed in only 1 of her 5 subsequent handicap outings. First start for 6 months.
