Fairly useful Flat winner. Twice-raced maiden over hurdles. Fifth of 11 in maiden at Navan (16f, heavy, 25/1) 22 days ago. Might be more one for handicaps after this.

Fairly useful Flat winner. Much better effort over hurdles when third of 18 in Thurles maiden in January. Respectable effort on AW Flat since. Likely to be thereabouts.

5/6
Every chance when fell 2 out in sole point and looked good prospect when winning Fairyhouse bumper in December 2023. Not seen since so there must have been the odd issue but he had now smart hurdlers behind in second/third at Fairyhouse. Market confidence significant.

Fairly useful winner for Andrew Balding. Promise over hurdles for current yard, notably when third of 17 at Thurles (16.2f, heavy) 25 days ago, finishing well. More to come in this sphere.

Petit Secret (5/6), Playtime (7/4), Ehteyat (5/1), Cock And Bull (11/1), Leni's Law (25/1), Keep Em Quite (40/1), Sam's Favourite (50/1), Lord De Choisel (80/1), Mayor Of Maghera (80/1), Playing The Field (125/1), Salvador Peps (150/1), Toms One Of Many (150/1), Two Can Plan (200/1), Calm Flight Ahead (250/1), Urbs Intacta Manet (300/1), Cornelious Ab (300/1)

Verdict

PLAYTIME very much caught the eye at Thurles last time and gets the vote before any betting clues are known about returning Willie Mullins bumper winner Petit Secret, who hasn't been seen for a whopping 820 days. Ehteyat looks best of the remainder.

  1. Playtime7/4
  2. Petit Secret5/6
