Talented hurdler with 3 wins in 4 starts, including two Grade 1 victories. Last seen dominating at Punchestown by 6 lengths (7/4), showing excellent jumping and stamina. His hurdle success suggests even greater potential over fences.

Win Some Lose Some²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Mark Walsh| T: P Roche

25/1

Successful hurdler with 4 wins, including a Leopardstown handicap 323 days ago. Promising chasing debut when placing 3rd at Galway recently, showing good jumping and late progress. Likely to be more effective over fences and expected to win in this discipline.

Wingmen^h²²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| BF| C

5/1

Useful hurdler with Grade 1 placed efforts last season but disappointed when sixth of 8 in Grade 2 hurdle at Fairyhouse (16/5) 224 days ago. Built like a chaser and could thrive now switching to fences.

Forecasts

Final Demand (2/7), Wingmen (5/1), Butch Cassidy (17/2), Karl Des Tourelles (16/1), Win Some Lose Some (25/1), Now Is The Hour (33/1), My Trump Card (33/1), Ballybow (33/1), Lucky Lyreen (40/1), Western Walk (50/1), Come Walk With Me (100/1), So They Tell Me (125/1), Park That (150/1)

FINAL DEMAND looks an exciting chasing prospect after dominating Grade 1 hurdle company at Punchestown in May. His jumping and stamina suggest even greater potential over fences. Win Some Lose Some shaped promisingly when third on chasing debut at Galway recently, while Now Is The Hour may appreciate this shorter trip after a clinically abnormal run in the Irish National.
