An 11-race maiden; uninspiring handicap form over hurdles and can be opposed on chase debut. |

Punchestown handicap hurdle win in December (3m, heavy) is her sole success in 30 runs; not the most consistent mare but she stays well and has a definite chance on her best form. |

Wasn't out of the places in six starts prior to falling at the last at Wexford in April; has tended to be a weak finisher but this easier track could well suit. |

Won mares' maiden hurdle at Tipperary (2m1f, yielding) last May; handicap runs over various trips not entirely convincing but fine seventh of 20 at Cork over 2m4f off 99 three weeks ago; enters the discussion. |

Got her act together over hurdles towards the end of last season with two Clonmel wins on contrasting ground; up a total of 15lb for those wins (margin roughly one length in both); chased home an easy winner at Tipperary on her seasonal debut; can be a player off this mark if jumping adequately on chase debut. |

Maiden has shown ability in bumpers and her best maiden hurdle run came over 2m4f at Punchestown last month, keeping on strongly into third behind an all-the-way winner on soft; headgear combination now tried and place claims again. |

Progressive in handicaps last year; gained third win in 2m4f Clonmel mares' event in October; has been found wanting in conditions races since; may have needed recent Killarney run. |

Progressive handicapper was gaining a third win of 2025 when landing a 2m4f Clonmel mares' handicap in October in first-time tongue tie (yielding); her two outings in December against better company were not her best; the break may have done her good, but a bit to find. |

In good form this year, with two wins and several placed finishes; beat a subsequent winner in May at Downpatrick (2m2f, good); fell early in follow-up bid before gaining compensation at Tipperary in early July (2m4f, good to yielding); tongue tie on now after being pulled up at Killarney last time. |
6/1 |
Verdict
Milanaway is respected, while the handicap form shown by Shana Cloon will put her in the mix if she can repeat it. The selection is BARRIER after two good runs in maidens at Naas and Gowran. She is the standard bearer. Whatsupnellie can shake up a few on her hurdles debut. [Justin O’Hanlon]
