Bumper and 2m4f maiden hurdle winner for Gordon Elliott but 0-7 chasing last season and debuts for new yard back over hurdles, over what appears an inadequate trip.

Dorans Law

11st 2lb

J: Ross Sugrue

T: P J Rothwell

Got off the mark over fences when taking this race last year but hasn't repeated that form since between hurdles and fences; however, is 1lb lower than a year ago so has to be respected.

Hurdles/chase winner ran his best race in some time when never-nearer fifth of 12 at Kilbeggan (24.5f, good to yielding) 19 days ago; fairly treated on the pick of his hurdles form; each-way contender.

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.

J: Sam Ewing

T: Gordon Elliott

Won over 2m4f at Thurles in 2024 for Philip Rothwell, his only success from 28 starts; placed nine times; in fair form before changing stables; market may provide clues to what is expected on his first start for Gordon Elliott.

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.

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.

Verdict

A few of these have to prove they stay this far, including Run For The Border and Down Around. The 2024 winner of this race, Dorans Law, has no stamina concerns but it may pay to side with last year’s runner-up LADIAM. She’s 5lb lower now and shaped promisingly at Wexford last time. Killowen House could be well treated on handicap debut and is feared most. [Dave Stephens]
