Form & Verdict
1-21 over hurdles, the win coming at Thurles (2m4f, good) in November 2024 for Philip Rothwell; midfield at Kilbeggan on first run for this yard after a 232-day break so should be sharper now; now rated 2lb below his win and has run well here before; this trip is an unknown, however.

Came good for Gordon Elliott at second attempt, making all at Ballinrobe (3m2f, good); had to settle for fourth at Downpatrick (2m6f, good) a week ago but still features prominently in calculations.

Won a Limerick maiden hurdle in October (2m3f, gd-yld); best run since a 2.25l second of 15 here over 2m6f (good) on penultimate off 3lb lower; not as good at Sligo four days ago and has stamina to prove for this trip.

T: John Patrick Ryan

Won a Limerick maiden hurdle last October (2m3f, good to yielding); best runs since have come at this track when 2.25l second of 15 in July (C&D) and 2l third (3m2f, good) last month; failed to take to chasing at Downpatrick 11 days ago and quickly reverts to hurdling again; player.

Form & Verdict
Not the easiest to win with, as her 2-30 record over hurdles illustrates; both wins at Sligo over 20.5f, but did run a cracker in this last year when beaten 4.25l into second and she's 5lb lower now; yard in form and she shaped well at Wexford on latest; big chance.

Not the easiest to win with, as her 2-31 record over hurdles illustrates, but both wins have been over this C&D, including off this mark last summer; penultimate Wexford third was a good effort, 3m2f may have been too far last time; place claims back at optimum trip.

Went the wrong way for Gordon Elliott and wasn't doing a lot for current yard until springing a surprise at Kilbeggan (2m, good to yielding), where he came home strongly from off the pace; 6lb higher but may have turned a corner; should stay this far.

Bumper and maiden hurdle winner before regressing for Gordon Elliott, and new yard hasn't arrested that decline; after a break, never involved over this trip at Galway and well held over longer trips last twice.
