OR:

Form & Verdict
Went close in bumper at Ayr (soft) in March 2021 on the only time she's been tongue tied, which she is again today; not so good in a Listed bumper next time and remote in a Grade 3 on latest; absent 809 days and makes hurdling debut but from a useful jumping family and those first two efforts mean she is worth a second look.

Won a novice here (2m, soft) last July; has been below her best in two valuable handicaps at Newbury and Ayr this spring; this is back in calmer waters but she still needs to show more.

T: S R B Crawford

Pulled up on handicap debut at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) last month but she's much better than that, having finished second to a subsequent Grade 2 winner at Sedgefield (2m4f, soft) in January; there's stamina in her pedigree and this lightly raced 8yo is not written off now up in trip.

OR:

Form & Verdict
Workmanlike winner of a maiden at Ballinrobe (2m1f, soft) in April on debut; bit disappointing when third of four at Roscommon (yielding to soft) over two months later, even if 2m4f played some part; his stablemate has clearly better form but this one, being so lightly raced, could have potential.

Placed more often than winning over hurdles; did record his fourth win on the Flat at Tramore last month before finishing close up in a charity race at the Curragh on Sunday; pace will be on here which will help him being delivered late and certainly respected.

Dual Purpose; 3-8 on the Flat; ran a solid race over this trip at Chester in May 2023; hurdling since that run until return to this sphere in the Cork Derby and he wasn't disgraced on ground plenty quick for him; this race is easier, a bit of cut in the ground will suit and he's been dropped 5lb; a big run could be on the cards.
