Flashes of form over hurdles and fences during a light campaign in 2025; first run since March; not one of the more obvious contenders. |

No wins from 11 and fairly moderate hurdles form; took second in a Bellewstown handicap off 99 in his final start last season (2m5f, good); well beaten at Navan on seasonal return (2m3f, yielding); decent third in a Sligo beginners' chase in October but 20l behind at Clonmel in a handicap chase when last seen; back over hurdles now. |

Improved efforts in final two maiden hurdles upon encountering good ground; rain-softened ground wasn't in his favour on handicap debut at Sligo (officially good) when fifth over an extended 2m4f; worth another chance on proper good ground. |

Sole Flat win came in 2023 although has mostly been competing over hurdles in recent times; improved markedly over poor Navan seasonal return when fourth at Roscommon (1m4f, good), staying on after slowly away; below that at the Curragh last time; on career low mark. |

Made the breakthrough at Sligo in May (2m2f, good) off 84; soundly beaten in two runs following that but her runner-up finish here last time (2m3f, good) is evidence that she could yet add to her victory. |

10st 8lb |
Won 2m Thurles handicap in March 2025 (good-to-yielding) but generally out of form under both codes this year, latest on last month's yard debut at Wexford when well-supported, having stumbled three out; could be capable of better judged on recent market support. |

Won a handicap hurdle at Thurles in March 2025 but undistinguished form outside that; pulled up on her final start for Aengus King over C&D last time; new surroundings need to have had a big effect on her. |

Betting Forcast
3/1 Fremantle Doctor, 10/1 William F Browne, 33/1 Alentejo, 5/1 Tradonthebay, 12/1 High Honour, 8/1 Bowgate Street, 20/1 Urban War, 25/1 Tomas O Maille, 20/1 Calm Flight Ahead, 14/1 Invincible Oscar, 4/1 Granlahan, 11/2 Tasmanian Girl, 25/1 Wings Of Africa
Verdict
Ado McGuinness has his team in fine shape and may have the solution with GRANLAHAN, no match for a front-runner at Downpatrick ten days ago. Freemantle Doctor can be rated a major threat following a good run behind an improving type at Ballinrobe. Tasmanian Lady has had time to settle into new surroundings and could feature along with Tradonthebay. [Alan Sweetman]
