11st 1lb |
Grade 2-winning hurdler got off the mark over fences at the fourth time of asking when landing standard Cork beginners' (2m1f, yielding) 11 days ago, doing it from the front; won't be allowed to dictate things here but opening mark is fair and is another worthy of respect for the Mullins stable. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 3f 110y |
11st 12lb |
Rated 139 over hurdles; made all for three wins over hurdles last year; career best when winning a 20-runner Leopardstown handicap last Christmas (2m4f, good to yielding); bombed out on his first try over fences at Ballinrobe last time (2m1f, good); is better than that. |

Made all for three wins over hurdles last year; career best at Leopardstown (2m4f, good to yielding) last Christmas when taking 20-runner handicap; dropped away in the straight in the Coral Cup; won a point-to-point for Ciaran Murphy in 2023; should make a useful novice chaser. |

Went closest over 2m3f at Downpatrick in April; well below that form since (refused to race once) and cheekpieces need to work. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Gifted a 2m4f Uttoxeter race two starts back (soft), and 3m was clearly too far last time; not wholly convincing, but his one win on merit came at this time of year in 2024 on good (2m4f); tongue-tie added. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Ex-Irish 7yo; well held in his first three runs for Dan Skelton and he was around 17l down when he was gifted a race here (2m4f, soft) two weeks ago; this is a deeper contest and he has work to do to back up in trip. |

Well treated on best Irish form but has rather lost his way, latterly for new stable; best watched unless the market suggests a resurgent display is likely. |

30th May 2025 Good 2m 5f 180y |

Never better than mid-division in maiden hurdles, showing some promise at Fairyhouse (2m, heavy); stopped quickly and pulled up on handicap debut at Cork in April 2024 when last seen for Ross O'Sullivan; best watched after such an absence on chasing debut here. |

Verdict
This should be straightforward for MIRAZUR WEST who has shown enough in two starts under rules to suggest he can land this. The only conceivable danger is Undebiable Alibi who looked good in his point win and he’s surely better than what he showed on his rules debut last month. [Phill Anderson]
