13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 90y |
11st 12lb |
Two time winner over hurdles; last win came at Fairyhouse last October for James Barrett off 109 (2m, good); a pair of okay runs over hurdles this summer but needs to bounce back from a poor run on the Flat at Ballinrobe last month; contender if she does so. |

Dual-purpose mare with three wins on the Flat; last win in this sphere came two years ago at the Curragh off a 5lb higher mark (1m6f, good); her two runs over hurdles for her new trainer this term have been okay; needs to come on again. |

Dual-purpose mare has won eight races across both codes; made a pleasing enough start for this yard when third of six at Ballinrobe on first run for over six months; should come on for that but she remains 6lb above her last win and she won't want it too soft. |

Triple hurdle winner who made it fourth-time lucky over fences when beating two rivals at Chepstow (2m, soft) in March; fell at the 12th at Hereford (2m5f, good) last month but he's was still travelling well at the time and he should have more to offer as a chaser; respected. |

3-13 over hurdles; only his fourth start as a chaser when too strong for two rivals over 2m at Chepstow a month ago (soft; 3lb lower); this quicker ground won't bother him at all and neither might the longer trip; good claims. |

9st 11lb |
Very solid sequence last spring/summer on ground ranging from good (unraced on firmer) to heavy, including a dominant display from the back over 2m at this track; 7lb higher mark today demands a career-best Flat performance but he was bang there in blanket finish to a good handicap hurdle last month and it's not hard to think that this trip will suit. |

An unlucky, strong-finishing third in this race in 2024 (good to firm; his only run here) and has a 1lb lower mark today; flickers of that ability on occasions since, though had to have his sights lowered for two hurdle wins last autumn; tailed off at 40-1 in a Grade 1 novice hurdle four weeks ago, after a winter break, and could be more interesting this time. |
