Form & Verdict
Easily won a maiden at Limerick (2m, heavy) and, although turned over at long odds-on in a novice at Ayr (2m, heavy), the winner was bang in form and has won since; he'll be fine on this drier ground and should have a part to play on handicap debut.

Admirably consistent handicapper who didn't run too badly when midfield in the County Hurdle last month; however, this is a step up the ladder for him and regular rider Jack Kennedy evidently prefers the chances of The Yellow Clay.

Big improver in recent months, winning strong 2m Leopardstown handicaps at the Christmas meeting (yielding) and at the Dublin Racing Festival (heavy); will need to improve again to complete a hat-trick of big-field successes but that can't be ruled out in his current mood.

Two of her three wins over hurdles have come at Tramore; however, she was a long way below her best in a similar race to this at that course last month; that run was prefaced by weak form at Dundalk during the winter.

Dual course winner, also placed here four times; battled well from the front to land a mares' handicap at Tramore last August (good) off 98; tailed off here on heavy back from a break in February and weak in the market here the last day when never dangerous; she's a player back in the 0-100 category now.

Three-time hurdles winner (rated 113); unseated early on stable and chase debut at Downpatrick; ran a fine race from the front at 80-1 when second to the useful Royal Hollow at Clonmel last month; should be able to pick up a race over fences on that evidence but this looks like a more competitive race.
