7th May 2024 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Three-time Flat winner (at up to 2m) and he won two handicap hurdles in Ireland, in 2021 and last August; was running just okay on the AW when last seen but Fergal O'Brien might get his competitive juices flowing again. |

Dual winner over 2m on turf is 0-7 on AW, most recently never counting over inadequate 1m2f last month; reduced mark and longer trip play to his strengths so don't rule out. |

11st 12lb |
Record of 1-18 over hurdles; encouraging run at Punchestown on return from an absence before never-nearer fifth of 16 at Limerick (3m, soft to heavy); the fourth boosted the form; in the mix. |

Runner-up after a break at Roscommon in September (3m, soft) and then seventh of 23 at Navan (2m6f); failed to fire back there 20 days ago but in a valuable handicap; this is nothing like so demanding and she'll be keeping on with stamina guaranteed. |

9yo who is a longstanding maiden but she may well have got off the mark at Leicester (2m4f, soft) last time but for a bad mistake at the final fence; has also run well over staying trips; last time was just her second run for this yard and could make amends today off the same mark. |

C&D winner in 2022; has struggled to make a telling mark in the interim and under a drive a fair way from home when a modest third over fences latest; could probably do with sliding another few pound but not without a squeak either. |
