22/1
Bumper winner (placed in listed company) who won a maiden hurdle at Cork last April but disappointed when fourth of 11 in Perth novice hurdle (10/3) 81 days ago. Tongue strap removed for handicap/stable debut but has improvement to find in open company.

10/1
Fairly useful hurdler at best. Inconsistent performer in maiden chases with multiple placings. Third of 6 in a maiden chase at Roscommon (15/8f) 131 days ago, one paced in the finish when shaken up entering the straight. On a handy hurdle mark if back to his best and one to note for support.

Won a handicap hurdle as 5/2 favourite 182 days ago but finished 12th of 19 in handicap hurdle at Navan (22/1) 28 days ago, well held mid-division. Back down in trip today from recent 21f contest and will need to pull out more.

Struggled since winning twice in 2023 and pulled up in 20-runner handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (50/1) 15 days ago when hampered two out. Back down in trip but most recent hurdles run gives little encouragement.

7/4
Useful handicapper who won a chase at Tramore in May but finished a well-beaten 10th of 12 in a hurdle handicap (8/1) at Down Royal 43 days ago, running poorly after dropping back in trip. Needs to recapture earlier form to feature prominently here.

Without a win in 26 runs and was fourth of 6 in chase handicap at Sligo (4/1) 74 days ago when hampered by fallers twice. Returns to hurdles where form was poor when last tried 80 days ago. Remains to be seen if he can get back on track on first run for new trainer.

Showed improved form with consecutive seconds in maiden hurdles, most recently when second of 15 at Roscommon (8/1) 76 days ago where led early, challenged after 2 out but left behind by winner. Could be more to come on only second start in handicap.

Maiden placed third twice in handicap hurdles over varying trips in the autumn. Tenth of 13 in handicap hurdle at this course (10/1) 27 days ago when finding her run of good form coming to a halt. Needs to bounce back down in trip.

Finished 10th in strong 22-runner Punchestown maiden (sole start in hood) but well held 12th of 17 at Limerick (250/1) 266 days ago when raced off the pace and struggling after 3 out. Hood back on for handicap debut and could show improvement.

Disappointing favourite in valuable bumper on debut but showing steady improvement in maiden hurdles. Third of 18 in maiden hurdle at Limerick (7/1) 421 days ago, staying on well to take that position on the line. Lightly-raced 5-year-old could prove well-treated on handicap debut if ready to roll.

Modest maiden hurdle form, well-beaten 12th of 22 at Navan (66/1) 27 days ago. Makes handicap debut stepping down in trip on first run for new trainer and may do better.

7/2
Modest performer in hurdles who had been shaping better than the result prior to latest 6th of 13 in a handicap hurdle at Navan (5/1) 27 days ago, chasing leaders but unable to find extra on the run-in. Drop back in trip could suit given tendency to pull hard in races. One to consider.

12:20 Navan - 14 December 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

MAIDENSTREETPRINCE looks interesting off this mark back over hurdles (especially if supported) and gets the vote in a wide-open race, while Nelsons Dawn may leave his previous form behind now sent handicapping. Spinola Bay is an intriguing proposition on handicap debut, despite the lengthy absence, while Mon Sheriffe might benefit from the shorter trip given his keenness.
