Peckham Springs^p,t⁶³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: P J O'Hanlon| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 92

12/1

Without a win in 19 runs, showed better form than of late when fourth of 10 in a handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (18/1) 63 days ago. Returns to chasing with cheekpieces back on and ought to be competitive.

Form: 00U09-4

Gina Moon¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR: 91

14/1

Fourth in consecutive chase starts, finishing fourth of 9 in conditions race at Downpatrick (11/1) 11 days ago with early jumping mistakes before closing late. Lightly raced but needs to improve jumping if she's to make more of an impact.

Form: U457-44

L'Un Deux Trois^b,t²¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Phillip Enright| T: O McKiernan| OR: 90

25/1

Showed little in recent starts, including when seventh of 15 in a handicap hurdle at Down Royal (50/1) 211 days ago. Struggling for form across different disciplines. Something to prove back over fences.

Aliunde^t²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: D King| T: M M McNiff| OR: 88| CD

6/1

Won this race with a bit in hand last year (gambled on) but form has since dipped, fell at the sixth when held up as 25/1 chance in handicap chase at Wexford (field of 16) 21 days ago. Returns to scene of sole success and interesting to see if market support comes again.

Form: 0130-PF

Zolpharine⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: H E Sexton⁽⁷⁾| T: J P Ryan| OR: 88| C

6/4

Has been prone to mistakes but has won at this course previously. Well-backed to finish second of 15 in handicap chase at Killarney (7/1) 7 days ago, avoided mistakes and travelled well, pulling well clear of rest. Could be well suited by return to Kilbeggan and may go one better.

Form: 75F-6P2

Doyen Magic⁷⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Tiernan Power Roche⁽⁵⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 87

18/1

Has been uncompetitive in hurdle races of late, including when ninth of 11 at Downpatrick (10/1) on stable debut 77 days ago despite attracting late support. Makes chase debut today but has something to prove.

Form: 36770-9

Movie King^p,t¹⁸⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr B M Coonan⁽⁷⁾| T: A J Martin| OR: 85| D

10/1

Caught the eye when fourth in a handicap chase at Punchestown on last run over fences in October 2023. Below form when last seen on the Flat over the winter but remains with potential in this sphere and the market may prove very informative on his return to chasing with cheekpieces refitted.

Form: 67346/3-

Racing Daisy^t¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: P Hanlon⁽⁷⁾| T: Patrick J Hassett| OR: 80

40/1

Has struggled in hurdle races, finishing eleventh of 16 at Roscommon (14/1) 18 days ago went with little encouragement having previously been unplaced in point runs. First run over fences but plenty to improvement to find.

Form: 006-640

Mist On The Bog³³¹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Flanagan| T: L Casey| OR: 78

14/1

Showed promise when third on chase debut in May 2022 but off for 2 years subsequently. Finished 10th of 16 in a handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (12/1) in August last year, failing to build on earlier promise. Makes chase debut following a further 11-month absence and market may guide expectations.

Form: 3/03660-

Hero In The Sky^t⁵⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Gary Noonan⁽⁵⁾| T: A Ott| OR: 77

18/1

Some ability in Points (winner in 2024) but only minor promise over hurdles. Makes chase debut and while this could be more her game, needs to leave her poor recent hurdles form well behind.

Form: 0120-60

Hob's Angel¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-11| J: Donagh Meyler| T: J Barcoe| OR: 77

11/1

Showed ability in handicap hurdles earlier this year but again disappointed when fifth of 10 at Downpatrick (10/1) 10 days ago, running with little fluency. Has not won in 15 races and this looks a tall order on first attempt over fences.

Form: 7P3-305

Mastermind¹⁴⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 10-9| J: Simon Torrens| T: Ms H P Markham| OR: 75

25/1

Without a win in 52 starts but performed with some credit when sixth of 14 in handicap chase at Clonmel (16/1) 148 days ago, better suited by patient tactics on final start for Alan Fleming. Hood removed on first run for new trainer but overall strike-rate tempers enthusiasm.

Form: 685656-

Tuff Days^p¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Mike O'Connor| T: Michael Barry| OR: 75

7/1

Has been out of sorts over fences and hurdles, finishing tenth of 15 in handicap chase at Killarney (28/1) 7 days ago. Jumping issues continue to hamper chances. Remains winless in 25 career starts. Engaged 6.15 Wexford Thursday.

ZOLPHARINE has won here previously and jumped better when finishing a close second at Killarney last week. He can go one better at the expense of Movie King who returns to chasing with cheekpieces refitted having shaped well on last start in this sphere and he's one to keep a close eye on in the betting on return from an absence. Aliunde won this race in 2024 (with a bit in hand off 3 lb lower) and is another to consider if the market hints at a return to form.
