Form & Verdict
Yet to win on this surface, the latest of two turf wins coming in 2022; very promising C&D comeback run in January when only losing second late on when unfancied (fourth and fifth have won since); granted normal improvement, could take the beating here.

Best form has been over C&D, including a win off 67 last March; not at best in recent starts but drops in grade here and is 7lb below last winning mark; not discounted.

Gained a well-deserved maiden win over C&D in November and good effort when third in 2m handicap (Pavilion End second) last month considering she was keen; bit more needed but entitled to be thereabouts.

Only had two runs over hurdles, last time winning a maiden on good ground at Tramore (first-time hood); good and bad on the Flat since then; lacks jumping experience for a race of this nature.

J: David Noonan

T: Tim Vaughan

Three-time Flat winner (1m1f-1m4f) who showed promise in maiden hurdles but his progress stalled in spring 2025, pulling up on handicap hurdle debut and finishing well beaten on his final start for Denis Hogan in May last year; brought down at the first on stable debut after an absence this April (20-1), but still sets the standard with a mark of 110.

Three-time Flat winner who has also shown promise over hurdles; well beaten in this code last May and bought out of Denis Hogan's yard for £17,000 later that month; absent since but he's one of the likelier winners if at the top of his game on this comeback and stable debut; watch the betting.

Three-time Flat winner on a sound surface last year; not as effective a hurdler (0-6), standout effort when second to a 10l winner in C&D maiden last month; stiff task on Flat latest; place claims back in maiden company but no easy task conceding weight.

Some promise in bumpers before winning Flat start in C&D maiden in January; has run well in both handicaps since, left with fair bit to do when fourth over this trip latest; down in grade and has to be respected.

Has only had one Flat run on turf; fair performer at up to 2m on AW at Dundalk, maiden winner (1m4f) and placed twice, including when third off this mark in October (1m4f); should be suited by ground conditions.
