Baltic Bird

T: William Durkan

Useful Flat and hurdles performer who has gone 0-5 over fences since a winning start in May 2025 and he'll need to run better than he did in a handicap chase at Ballinrobe last time; however, a case can be made off this mark on best form; versatile trip-wise from 2m to beyond 3m.

Placed twice in Roscommon maidens last year and again twice on AW earlier this year; claimed for 5,000euros after disappointing in a Ballinrobe claimer in May; not too bad in a Down Royal maiden last time; rated 63 on Flat and not discounted.

J: Ms K M Ryan

Very smart performer; acquitted himself extremely well when second in very valuable handicap hurdles at Aintree and Haydock in the spring; just outpointed by the smart Gaoth Chuil in a similar contest at Leopardstown last month for this rider; the one to beat.

Best run for this yard came at this venue last season (1m1f, soft); not as good in three subsequent outings and pulled up when last seen at Clonmel in September (blood at both nostrils); best watched on return.

J: Adam Caffrey

T: William Durkan

Sprang a 33-1 surprise in a C&D maiden (good) last July; last of six in Tipperary listed race the following month; weakened on soft ground upped to 1m on handicap debut here when last seen in October; gelded, 4lb lower now and worth a market check on return.
