11st 11lb |
Irish 6yo who justified market support at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) on last attempt over hurdles, opening his account; interesting back in this sphere, especially if again backed; tongue-tie fitted on return from layoff. |

Winner of handicap hurdles last term at Roscommon and Downpatrick before recording wins over fences at Fairyhouse and Haydock; pulled up over fences on latest but previous Down Royal hurdle second gives him claims; tongue-tie added to usual cheekpieces. |

First reserve; Sligo maiden hurdle winner in 2024; not a bad run on return from a break at Clonmel latest and handicapper giving her a chance, but stamina a query over this trip. |

Front-runner's sole win came in 2m2f Sligo mares' maiden in 2024 (good), good second in Limerick handicap over a year ago off 99; 0-10 chasing and well held back hurdling when last seen in October; ground to suit, don't rule out off this reduced mark. |

Had shown nothing prior to excellent third behind Gangster Granny over C&D on latest, and possibly might have won but hung badly left entering the straight (beaten 1.25l); front-runner has a place chance again from 2lb higher. |

Was running well enough when falling two out at Downpatrick last time and has a squeak if he can find more with blinkers added. |

Distant second at Punchestown two starts ago was a promising run but pulled up at Ballinrobe since; his better form has come on softer ground. |

Betting Forcast
7/4 Nakassama, 40/1 San Franco, 10/1 Forever And A Day, 13/1 Western Model, 8/1 Steps In The Sand, 14/1 Hitthehayson, 10/1 Mount Shenshan, 16/1 Watty Show, 20/1 Andyourbirdcansing, 50/1 Hunting Gold, 15/1 Go Avel, 25/1 Jolly Potter, 14/1 Artic Chief, 5/1 Hakensack, 50/1 Thatsmyroadie, Annie Questions, Beaus Candle
Verdict
Well backed to win back from a break at Ayr, NAKASSAMA(nap) went down by a head, but he’s firmly in the mix again with the tongue tie worn last time retained. Hakensack was going okay at Limerick when unseating on stable debut over fences and has previously gone well over hurdles. Mount Shenshan has been running consistently recently and was a winner off 6lb higher last year. [Denis Harney]
