Kilcummin^b²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Theo Gillard| T: Mark Gillard| OR: 96| CD

13/2

Modest hurdler who posted his best effort to date when scoring in a C&D handicap with plenty to spare last month. Likeliest to capitalise if Matchless fluffs his lines.

Form: 1P-8341

Eklil¹⁰⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: N F Houlihan| T: A Irvine

125/1

Fair Flat winner for Rae Guest in 2023 but has struggled to get competitive for current yard and showed nothing on his only previous hurdling outing.

Form: P-

Matchless^p⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: J Candlish| OR: 117| D

2/7

Fairly useful hurdler. 10/3, creditable second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Perth (20.2f, soft) 54 days ago. Back down in trip. Difficult to oppose.

Form: 6264-42

Tara Iti^p⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Rex Dingle| T: G & J Moore| OR: 88| CD

11/2

Arrives on the back of a solid showing at Huntingdon and has scored over C&D in the past, so no forlorn hope for all that he's not the most reliable.

Form: 4P-3762

Forecasts

Matchless (2/7), Tara Iti (11/2), Kilcummin (13/2), Eklil (125/1)

MATCHLESS stands out on form and will have to run poorly not to win this. Kilcummin is the likeliest to take advantage if the selection underperforms and Tara Iti isn't without hope.
