6/1

Winner in hurdle at Wexford in July. Faced tough task when eighth of 10 in novice chase (6/1) at Tramore (20.4f, good to soft) last October. One to consider back over hurdles.

Form: 154438

16/1

Got off the mark over hurdles at the second attempt in first-time tongue strap (Tramore, 2m, heavy) in October 2023 but below form on two runs following long absence. Bit to prove.

Form: 6/741-00

Massabielle¹⁸⁶

9/2

Ran best race to date when creditable fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (19.4f, good to soft, 14/1). Off 6 months and one consider if ready to roll on stable debut.

Form: 0554

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Kevin Sexton| T: D Queally| OR: 93

13/2

Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 28/1, twelfth of 18 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (16f, good to soft) 28 days ago, off bridle long way out. Improvement needed on handicap hurdle debut.

40/1

Lispendense^v1⁵³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: Danny Gilligan| T: Aidan Melia| OR: 92

4/1

Fared no better with cheekpieces on for 1st time, twelfth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good to soft) 53 days ago, final run for Ian Patrick Donoghue. First time visor/change of yard need to spark a revival.

Form: 802P90

My Policy^p¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Ivan Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: P Rooney| OR: 91

14/1

Again below form when eighth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, good) 18 days ago. Handicapper has given her a chance (placed off higher marks than this last season). One to consider.

Form: 8325P8

Three Tribes^t⁸⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: R P Geoghegan⁽⁷⁾| T: B J Murphy| OR: 90

66/1

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Phillip Enright| T: O McKiernan| OR: 88

22/1

Below form ninth of 19 in handicap hurdle (16/1) at Naas (16.2f, good to soft) 129 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. May be capable of better over more suitable distance on her return.

Form: 90-9669

Koo Star^h1¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: C P McNamara| T: Liam G O'brien| OR: 87

14/1

Showed first form 40/1, fifth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (20f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Hood on 1st time and needs to take a step forward.

Form: 0969P5

Stily¹⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Cian Quirke⁽³⁾| T: M J McDonagh| OR: 85

20/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, thirteenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (20.2f, good to soft) 146 days ago. Needs to bounce back from disappointing handicap debut.

Form: P-0990

Tubberfinn Lady^t³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Jordan Gainford| T: M Mulvany| OR: 84

11/2

28/1

Showed bit more when 50/1, fifth of 14 in hunter chase at Clonmel (20f, soft) 99 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles but has a bit to find in this sphere.

Form: P22453

Forecasts

Sharetheknowledge (3/1), Lispendense (4/1), Massabielle (9/2), Journey So Far (5/1), Tubberfinn Lady (11/2), Bigira (6/1), Tackletommywoowoo (13/2), Jerrari (8/1), Buckaway Freddie (8/1), Restless Son (12/1), My Policy (14/1), Koo Star (14/1), Our Uncle Jack (16/1), Stily (20/1), Added Bonus (20/1), Spread The Faith (22/1), Jollie Cosmos (28/1), Kilheffernan (40/1), Three Tribes (66/1)

Having shown glimpses of ability in maiden company, JOURNEY SO FAR makes most appeal on handicap debut for his excellent yard. Sharetheknowledge was back on track when runner-up last time and may yet build on that, while My Policy could be interesting if recapturing her form from last year.
