The following horses, noted by our reporters on their latest starts, hold these engagements over the next six days:

BABANANGO (FR)

Declared at Fairyhouse tomorrow

Noted at Fairyhouse April 2nd: On his first run for almost a year, this gelding didn’t run at all badly when sixth to Close Shave. When last in action he could have won only to fall at the last and this comeback looks good.

FLY RORY FLY (IRE)

Declared to run at Cork tomorrow and entered at Tipperary on Thursday

Noted at Downpatrick March 26th: He was beaten a short-head by a potentially smart mare in Holly Flight. Looks ready to win a maiden on better ground.

JEANNOT DE NONANT (FR)

Declared to run at Cork tomorrow

Noted at Limerick, March 30th: This French import produced his best effort since arriving in Ireland when finishing a close third under top weight in the two-mile handicap hurdle. He will appreciate going further.

THIRD OPINION (IRE)

Entered at Fairyhouse tomorrow

Noted at Clonmel March 21st: He jumped really well on his first outing for his new trainer after being off the track for nearly two years to open his account over fences. Has the experience to build on this.

CLONALIG HOUSE (IRE)

Declared to run at Cork tomorrow

Noted at Punchestown January 15th: Made a promising start over fences here on unsuitably soft ground only weakening in the straight behind two decent rivals.

OSCARS DEN (IRE)

Entered at Fairyhouse on Monday

Noted at Limerick March 19th: On his first outing for almost three years, he took fourth behind Donegal Tuesday in the handicap hurdle.

SIRE DU BERLAIS (FR)

Entered at Fairyhouse on Monday & Tuesday

Noted at Punchestown February 5th: This French import ran with promise to take third in the novice hurdle won by Mick Jazz. This was his first run since May so there should be plenty of improvement.

PIOUS ALEXANDER (IRE)

Entered at Cork on Monday

Noted at the Curragh June 25th: This half-sister to Anthem Alexander shaped up nicely on her debut with an encouraging third to Intelligence Cross.

CECIL CORBETT (GB)

Entered at Fairyhouse on Tuesday

Noted at Navan April 1st: This gelding finished eighth to Stoughan Cross in the handicap chase on his first run since November but he ran a good deal better than his placing.

CHATHAM STREET LAD (IRE)

Entered at Tipperary on Thursday

Noted at Clonmel March 2nd: This newcomer, from the family of Hennessy winner Broadheath, looked to be crying out for a longer trip, judging by the way he stayed on strongly into second in the two-mile maiden hurdle.

POKER PARTY (FR)

Entered at Tipperary on Thursday

Noted at Navan October 21st: This son of Gentlewave showed good progress from his first run to take third in the maiden won by Goodwill where he showed a willing attitude from the front.

Winner: Rapid Applause won at Naas (9/1).
