11st 2lb |
Bumper and maiden hurdle winner for Harry Kelly; ran well on the Flat at this venue on final start for Kelly; has run poorly in two of his three runs for this stable; makes handicap debut; his two stablemates appear to hold stronger credentials. |

11st 12lb |
Ballinrobe bumper winner last July; won a Naas maiden hurdle easily at the first attempt in April; let down by jumping on stable debut when finishing last in a Cork rated novice (2m1f, good); improved jumping display when a good third in a rated hurdle at Wexford last time; he won't be far away. |

11st 4lb |
Ballinrobe bumper winner last summer readily landed Naas maiden (2m, good to yielding) on hurdling debut last month; slowly away when narrowly beaten on the flat at Bellewstown two days later but let down by jumping on yard debut in Cork rated novice latest; likely improver if getting jumping sorted. |

22nd Jul 2024 Yielding 1m 4f 178y |

Was disqualified after winning a Sligo handicap before running well in defeat in stronger handicaps at Cork and Curragh over this trip; should be a big player back to maiden company. |

8st 7lb |
Off the mark at Sligo last month but disqualified as rider claimed the incorrect weight; well-backed to gain compensation off same mark at Cork 16 days ago but left with a fair bit to do when staying-on third (Zoffman second) over this trip; 2lb wrong here but interesting to see what tactics top US jockey employs. |

27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Bumper winner but 0-14 hurdling, joining current yard after C&D claiming fourth a year ago; didn't count on recent comeback run at Punchestown, entitled to come on for that. |

Lost form for his previous trainer after two good runs in September 2024; plenty to prove on his first run since out of his depth in a Flat maiden last autumn, previously a moderate fourth in a claimer over hurdles. |

Progressive hurdler when last seen in February winning Punchestown maiden on yielding; interesting jockey booking for Flat debut. |

19-race maiden; ran creditably when sixth at Wolverhampton in November on first run after wind surgery, but has been well beaten since (1m6f/1m4f, AW/turf); hard to fancy. |

Churchwarden, Stariam
Verdict
Runner-up on three occasions, STARIAM faces nothing of the calibre of smart hurdler Magical Zoe who beat her at Down Royal. Kings Hill brings useful handicap hurdle form to this and is a candidate for a share of the money along with Carlo Bianconi who has plenty of experience. [Alan Sweetman]
