Selected odds by:
Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (21.3f, good to soft) 173 days ago. Back down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Peter John Flood.
|
Eleventh of 18 in handicap hurdle at Galway (24f, heavy, 22/1) 33 days ago, needing lesser test. Significantly back down in trip.
|
1 win from 2 runs this season. First run since leaving Gearoid Patrick Brouder when career best when winning 16-runner handicap hurdle (40/1) at Cork (19f, heavy) 46 days ago, pushed out. Big shout if in the same mood.
|
Respectable fifth of 26 in handicap (9/1) at the Curragh (10f, heavy) 36 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Creditable on last hurdle outing. Merits consideration.
|
Thrice-raced maiden. 80/1, sixteenth of 18 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, good) 68 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut.
|
C&D winner. Improved to win 18-runner handicap (8/1) at Galway (11.8f, heavy) 31 days ago, staying on well. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Good on last hurdle run. Should be competitive back in this sphere.
|
Excellent fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle (15/8) at this course (15.7f, good to soft) 42 days ago, faring best of those held up. Has to be taken seriously.
|
Winner in hurdle at Limerick in February. Bit below form sixteenth of 25 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at Naas (15.4f, heavy). Off 8 months.
|
Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. Down the field on Flat last time but looks potentially well treated on the pick of her efforts in that discipline.
|
Below form seventh of 13 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (20f, soft, 11/1) 41 days ago. Down in trip. Tongue strap back on, cheekpieces on 1st time. Up against it.
|
17/2, good second of 16 in handicap hurdle at this course (15.8f, good to soft) 28 days ago. On the upgrade recently and should be thereabouts once again.
|
10/1, good second of 12 in handicap hurdle at Cork (16f, soft) 11 days ago, no match for winner. Not discounted.
|
5/1, creditable third of 14 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy) 9 days ago. Should remain competitive.
|
One win from 24 NH runs. Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. Bit below form fourth of 14 in handicap hurdle (17/2) at Tramore (16f, good to soft) 49 days ago. Others more persuasive.
|
Bit below form seventh of 17 in handicap hurdle (16/1) at Cork (19f, soft) 46 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Forecasts
Brehon Star (5/1), Molly Kaye (6/1), Champagne Auction (13/2), Thefaithfulindian (13/2), O Mio Babbino (7/1), Ucandoit (8/1), Ventnor (10/1), Hockworthy Flyer (12/1), Fair Minded (14/1), Hunters Song (18/1), Musical Melody (18/1), Future Romance (20/1), Derry Sky (25/1), Duhallow Rainbow (25/1), Derridae (50/1), Galmar (66/1), Fourgenerations (66/1), Erin's Storm (80/1)
BREHON STAR was the pick of those that raced off the pace when fourth here last time and, in a race that could be well-run, he's worth chancing from what looks a good mark. Recent Cork winner Champagne Auction is another likely player and market support for Future Romance would look significant on handicap debut.
