13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 90y |
11st 1lb |
Rated 6lb lower over hurdles; solid second at Ballinrobe over fences when last seen (2m3f, good); less impressive in two hurdle starts this year, last seen over timber with a midfield finish at the Punchestown festival (2m, yielding); this distance is likely his minimum. |

fractious at the post, raced freely, soon led at fast pace, 6 lengths ahead 3rd, reduced lead but clear with one other 6th, not fluent 3 out, soon pushed along, ridden when faced challenge run-in, no extra when headed towards finish (jockey said mare ran keen and hung left throughout) |

Sole hurdle win came in 2019 when trained by Harry Fry; fair form this year and was keeping on over a shorter trip at this venue in August when brought down just before the last flight; beaten 8l in fourth over this trip at Clonmel last time. |

Without a win since June 2022; no sign of losing run ending in recent starts; new headgear combination needs to have a transformative effect. |

Dual hurdler winner and better known in that sphere these days; while he's shown a bit of ability on the level down the years, that's been over much longer trips than this. |

Dual hurdle winner with the form to have a big say on these terms and he was in contention when falling in Kendancer's claimer at Limerick 12 days ago; notoriously headstrong and always comes with an element of risk. |

11st 9lb |
Just over a year ago she won a Downpatrick handicap off 5lb lower (they also claimed 7lb) on yielding ground and she doesn't want it any softer than that, which excuses her poor latest effort; better expected here but it's a stretch to call her well handicapped. |

Dual winning hurdler; didn't seem to get home over 2m6f at Ballinrobe in September when last seen; useful 7lb taken off her back here and not one to discount. |
