Form & Verdict
Built on promise of her Kilbeggan second when winning by 6.5l at Wexford last week (3m, good); won her maiden hurdle here over 2m5f (good) back in 2022 and placed off 90 at the same trip in November 2023; she ticks the course form box but she carries a 7lb penalty for her win and this drop in trip may not be ideal.

Hees Dynamite

10st 8lb

J: Patrick M O’Brien

T: E McNamara

First reserve; three hurdle wins have been at Limerick but also won 2m5f handicap chase here last summer; absent since pulled up over fences at Limerick's Christmas meeting so may need this.

Form: 80104-

Last run: 322 days

W: 11st 4lb

8 yo Mare

OR: 85

Form & Verdict
Solid effort when last seen 322 days ago at Clonmel (3m, soft to heavy); has gone well fresh here before but is 5lb above her last winning mark and would probably prefer softer ground than she'll get on this occasion.

Record of 1-21 over hurdles; best effort this term when runner-up at Wexford over 3m but was poor since at the same track; a squeak if rebounding.

Back on song when coping well with good ground over this C&D (good), beaten just 0.5l by Small Town Hero; 4lb swing gives her real prospects of turning that form around; chance.

Hasn't won since scoring at Limerick over 2m6f (yld-sft) in July 2023; trip too sharp latest at Clonmel but she may need softer ground.
