Cornaroya Rocco¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Adam Leahy⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Hanlon

28/1

No show in a bumper and 2 maiden hurdles. Probably one for handicaps after this.

Form: 0P6

Crystal Yeats¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Carl Millar⁽⁵⁾| T: N C Kelly

25/1

In frame both completed starts in points in 2025 and shaped as if more of a long-term prospect when thirteenth of 25 in maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse on hurdles debut 15 days ago.

Form: U4-30

Davitts Quay¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: John Shinnick| T: A Mullins

Goodmancon¹⁶⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Dylan Whelan⁽⁷⁾| T: P Breen

Raced 9 times in bumpers and produced one of his better efforts in that sphere when fourth at Clonmel last time out in November. Makes hurdles debut.

Form: 745674

Lamikal D'airy⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Conor Stone-Walsh| T: G P Cromwell

10/3

It's Gino gelding. Dam unraced sister to French hurdler/chaser (17f-2½m winner) Rika d'Airy and French 17f chase winner Emak d'Airy. Successful in a 2-finisher event on third start in points, and he's in good hands for his hurdles debut. Engaged 2.43 here Sunday.

Le Tatoue Madrik^p1⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G P Cromwell

9/4

Improved upped to 2½m on second hurdles start when third at Fairyhouse in February. Fell too far out to suggest outcome at Gowran since and now has cheekpieces applied dropping back in trip.

Form: 0-03F

Mor Go Leor¹⁶

Age: 12| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr W Verling⁽⁷⁾| T: P M Verling

100/1

Successful on second of 2 starts in points (March 2025) but has offered little in 2 maiden hurdles.

Form: 5/1-00

Crooked Path²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Daniel King| T: D Hogan| OR: 112

5/6

Exposed as a fair maiden but he's pretty reliable, again emerging with credit when third of 11 in juvenile hurdle (7/2) at Limerick 20 days ago. This looks a good opportunity.

Form: 526233

Nameyourgame²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Jordan Gainford| T: S Doyle

22/1

From the family of Queen Mother Champion Chase winner Put The Kettle On. Dead-heated for third completed start in points and looked one for the longer term in novice hurdle at Clonmel on Rules debut.

Form: 3P8

Whet The Appetite¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Peter Smithers⁽⁷⁾| T: E Bolger

28/1

Walk In The Park gelding badly needed experience when eleventh of 15 in juvenile hurdle at Cork on debut 15 days ago.

Form: 0

Inchidaly Rua

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Gary Noonan| T: A Ott

40/1

Golden Lariat filly. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 21f-25f hurdle/chase winner Inchidaly Rock. Not an obvious debut winner on paper.

Baby Fish¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Sean Flanagan| T: G P Cromwell

50/1

Well held all 3 starts in maiden hurdles, RESERVE.

Form: 600

Forecasts

Crooked Path (11/10), Hey Now (4/1), Baby Fish (5/1), Le Tatoue Madrik (6/1), Goodmancon (7/1), Lamikal D'airy (8/1), Easy Listening (14/1), Nameyourgame (20/1), Youknowthecode (20/1), Misery Hill (25/1), Inchidaly Rua (25/1), Zuzukel (25/1), Cornaroya Rocco (33/1), Whet The Appetite (33/1), Davitts Quay (50/1), Mor Go Leor (50/1), Crystal Yeats (50/1)

CROOKED PATH is consistent enough and looks to have found a race in which he may not need to improve to shed his maiden tag. Hey Now shaped encouragingly at Clonmel and is next on the shortlist ahead of Gavin Cromwell's point winner Lamikal d'Airy.
