Lightly-raced winner under Rules. Tongue strap on for 1st time, fell in novice hurdle at this C&D (good to soft, 10/1) 29 days ago. Others preferred.

Form: 01-5PF

Form: 30/434

Clodders Dream²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott

9/2

Promising sort. Second of 18 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (16f, heavy, 11/2) 24 days ago. May well do better and he has to enter calculations. Yard also saddles He's Ultimate.

200/1

Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. 7/2, sixth of 8 in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (21.5f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 156 days ago. First run for yard after leaving W. P. Mullins and while he's probably capable of better, others make more appeal.

Form: 2-556

40/1

Once-raced maiden. 11/2, sixth of 12 in bumper at Fairyhouse (16.5f, good to soft) on NH debut 15 days ago, doing too much too soon. Makes hurdles debut.

28/1

Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. 11/10, below form sixth of 14 in novice hurdle at Limerick (19f, heavy) 73 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Looks vulnerable.

Form: 90-056

Starman^h¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: S D Torrens| T: D Queally

50/1

Twice-raced maiden under Rules. Should leave his recent Clonmel hurdles debut (18.7f, soft, 14/1) well behind in time.

Form: 5/8

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: D F O'Regan| T: R O'Brien

Forecasts

Nick Rockett (11/8), Lets Go Champ (7/4), Clodders Dream (9/2), Raglan Road (7/1), He's Ultimate (15/2), Suttons Hill (12/1), The Flying Spur (16/1), An Forghas (20/1), Sonny May (28/1), Hilton De Chaillac (40/1), Finished Article (40/1), Arcland (50/1), Starman (50/1), Pasifucan (125/1), Linden Arden (150/1), Grivei (200/1), Criminal Mischief (200/1)

The maiden point LETS GO CHAMP landed back in 2019 has thrown up several subsequent winners under Rules, and he made a promising start over hurdles following a lengthy absence when third in a big-field Punchestown maiden in January. With improvement likely, he is taken to strike. With stablemate Raglan Road due to run at Gowran on Saturday, bumper winner Nick Rockett is feared most ahead of the Gordon Elliott-trained duo Clodders Dream and He's Ultimate.
