PINAR DEL RIO made an encouraging yard debut back in January and can resume winning ways despite not being seen since. Summer Island has made a positive start on the whole for new connections and appeals as next best, while Methgal cannot be ignored on current form.

Showed improved form in a switch of headgear when opening his account at Dundalk (7f) in March.

Proved progressive and reliable in a 2025 season that garnered 3 wins, latest at this course (6f) in August. Better for run when eighth of 21 in handicap (16/1) here (6f, heavy) 15 days ago.

Lightly-raced sort who opened his account in a Dundalk maiden (6f) in February. 14/1 and in first-time cheekpieces, respectable eighth of 18 in handicap at Cork (1m, good to soft) 10 days ago.

Won 26-runner C&D handicap in the mud in October. Creditable seventh of 14 in similar event at Limerick (1m, good to soft, 14/1) 9 days ago.
