Third of five finishers in the 3m7f Edinburgh National at Musselburgh in February, not as good as his second in the same race in 2025; weak handicap form lately; well beaten in previous attempts at this course. |

Placed six times over fences for Ciaran Murphy; off for almost a year before given two runs over hurdles by his new trainer late last year; sets a decent standard on his old form and possibly worth taking a chance with him. |

C&D winner; last scored in September 2023 but back to form with a 1.25l second at Clonmel on latest; raised 3lb for that but is still 10lb below his last success; C&D form figures read 41343; leading claims. |

One of two for yard; last of three wins came at Listowel in 2023; fourth on both starts for this stable at this venue over 3m but beaten 31l (on heavy) and 52l (on yielding); on a dangerous mark now, however, and cheekpieces might provide a spark. |

Verdict
This would appear to revolve around three runners whose form ties in with the season’s most progressive handicap hurdler Jungle Prose. On the strength of his third in the Navan race in which his stablemate made it five in a row, BODHISATTVA has an edge over Rebellious Gale who started favourite then and could pose a serious threat. Ballyglass Beauty appeals on his 9l second to Jungle Prose at this venue. [Alan Sweetman]
