Farrokh

11st 13lb

J: Daniel King

T: Barry Connell

Winning hurdler and although 0-8 chasing finished second in this race two years ago and went close on a few occasions last year; going okay when unseating three from home when back chasing at Thurles when last seen in November; may need this but goes well here so worth consideration.

Had decent form in the winter, and stays 3m, but has been struggling of late; place chance if he bounces back, and yard has had three run well here this week.

Sammy Smart

11st 12lb

J: Aidan Kelly

T: Thomas Gibney

A winner over hurdles and fences at Punchestown up to 3m; some good runs in defeat in the spring before a lesser Ballinrobe effort; unlucky to unseat early last time; can be a player.

11st 0lb

J: Calum Hogan

T: Kevin Thomas Coleman

Rated 108 over hurdles; gained a first success at the 12th attempt over hurdles in a weak Kilbeggan maiden hurdle last time (2m3f, good); he's in good form for his chasing debut but others are more appealing.

Now 0-11 over hurdles but twice placed in Bellewstown maidens, including early this month after forcing much of pace; has his chance in what appears a weak maiden.

J: Charlie O’Dwyer

T: Conor O’Dwyer

Better hurdler than chaser, though last win came in 2023; 0-9 chasing, standout run when second in 2m5f Down Royal handicap in January off 97; none too fluent and met trouble in running on yard debut here in May; best form is on softer ground; drops in grade.

One of three for yard; sent off favourite and rewarded backers with a first win over fences at Wexford (19.5f, good) on latest, beating A Snow White Park by 2.5l; 6lb higher now and steps up in grade but should go well again.

Won big-field Leopardstown 2m4f handicap hurdle at Christmas meeting in 2024; fourth to stablemate Driveonwill in a beginners' at Downpatrick; 3l off runner-up A Snow White Park in another beginners' last time and nice pull at the weights with her; second handicap run and mark looks exploitable.

Course specialist has bagged all three wins here (two over hurdles), including in this race last year off 2lb higher (good to yielding); fairly moderate form after that, but she has returned to form here over fences recently, winning a handicap chase (2m, good) and finishing second last time (2m, good); leading player.
