Represents Team Mullins but hasn't built on an encouraging start over hurdles and he didn't get home over 3m at Ayr (novice handicap), which wasn't a total surprise given his pedigree. |

12st 0lb |
Ran Supreme runner-up William Munny close in a bumper but was well behind that same rival in a Listed race on his penultimate start, since when he has again performed below his best at Navan (2m6f); represents Team Mullins but hasn't built on an encouraging start over hurdles and he's not bred for this new trip. |

Narrow winner of a 2m maiden hurdle at Tipperary in November but two handicap runs since underwhelming, stamina test possibly too much on latest; back in trip. |

11st 2lb |
Last two efforts (2m; latest under Mike O'Connor) suggest he'll relish this step back up in distance; solid form in two attempts over 2m4f, winning Tipperary maiden (soft) then good second in Leopardstown handicap (good to yielding); interesting, with a resumption of progress on the cards. |

11st 9lb |
Second in a point-to-point; won a 2m4f maiden hurdle at Tipperary by 9l on second racecourse start; creditable second in a 2m4f Leopardstown handicap after Christmas; 2m trip looked a bit sharp when he finished third at Navan, roughly 3l behind C'Est Ta Chance; similar concern here. |

13th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
On the retreat when falling in Jubilee Alpha's Listed race at Taunton in December; has since won at Down Royal and finished fourth in a deep handicap at Leopardstown in February, but she ran poorly in a Listed novice just three weeks ago and is now exposed; up against it. |

20th Feb 2025 Soft 1m 7f 211y |
11st 5lb |
Three-time winner and generally consistent mare; put her experience to good use when winning a novice handicap at Down Royal last month; confirmed a good standard of form when 40-1 fourth of 19 in a valuable mares' handicap at Leopardstown 18 days ago. |

Beat today's rivals Sainte Tartare (making her debut) a 2m5f Tramore maiden hurdle in November; fine effort when making virtually all to beat Goraibhmaithagat at Punchestown; ran as well as could have been expected when chasing home the Supreme Novices' second William Munny over 2m at Punchestown three weeks ago; |

11th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Respectable third in sole Grade 1 attempt (final start in bumpers); opened his hurdles account with an effortless Listed novice win at Punchestown (2m, soft; went clear on the bridle) last month when ridden by Sean Flanagan for the first time and settling better than previously in this sphere; now goes in first-time hood as an extra measure, which allies with the likely strong pace; peaking at the right time and looks set for an interesting rematch with Workahead, who beat him at Leopardstown in December; owner-trainer landed this prize two years ago with a horse ridden by Michael O'Sullivan, who very sadly lost his life recently and is honoured in the race title today; a fitting success is conceivable, with further improvement likely. |

20th Feb 2025 Soft 1m 7f 211y |
11st 5lb |
Smart bumper form, winning at Navan (beat C'Est Ta Chance) and Naas before fine third to Redemption Day in Grade 1 event here; reversed form with that rival when second in a strong maiden on hurdles debut at Leopardstown; good chance here on the strength of seconds to the promising Kawaboomga at Fairyhouse; room for improvement in his jumping. |
8/11 |
Verdict
The only maiden hurdler in the line-up WILLIAM MUNNY (nap) has two good seconds to his name and can exploit a 4lb concession from C’Est Ta Chance, whom he beat on almost identical terms to gain the first of two bumper wins. The trip is possibly on the short side for Taponthego and The Great Nudie. [Alan Sweetman]
