Ghaiyyath 4yo ran to a useful level of form on the Flat last year for Charlie Fellows at around 1m4f; yard debut effort at Galway was respectable, considering he was plenty fresh; interesting now switched to hurdles and one to consider.

Maiden showed more than enough for Charlie Fellowes last season to suggest he could win races; below best when last seen at Newmarket in October; worth a market check on debut for Gordon Elliott.

Stable won this in 2022 and 2023; this mare is 0-9 over hurdles but has finished runner-up seven times, including her sole handicap start two outings ago; looks handicapped about right but has each-way claims.

Beaten favourite but not a bad run in first bumper at Galway last October, beaten 9l in fifth; not as good next time at Tramore; unfancied when a moderate sixth on hurdles debut at Roscommon; still looked raw when second at this venue last month; capable of picking up a modest race.
