7/4
Showed promise on the first 2 of 3 bumpers starts in the first half of 2025. Stepped up on her hurdling debut form when third in 16-runner maiden at Fairyhouse last month and should go well back in this code.

9/2
Well-bred mare who failed by a long chalk to meet market expectations in a Punchestown bumper on debut in December 2024. Much more like it when runner-up in a Limerick maiden hurdle on comeback last month and better expected now returning to this code.

Profitable mare. Half-sister to fair 7f winner Dance Angel. Dam unraced. Flat-bred newcomer requires a market check. Wears tongue strap.

Has shown little in 2 Irish bumpers (for Conor O'Keeffe) and unlikely to be of any interest until tackling appreciably longer trips over jumps. Wears first-time cheekpieces.

Doctor Dino filly. Dam, 15f winner on Flat in France, half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler (stays 2¾m) Precious Metal. Makes obvious appeal on paper.

Forecasts

Culldoo (6/4), Jo's Secret (7/4), Kisuton Enki (9/2), Coco's Legacy (8/1), Double Order (16/1), Magical Act (40/1), Largy Lilly (40/1), Magical Sal (66/1), Freeway (125/1)

Verdict

CULLDOO makes plenty of appeal on paper starting out in what looks an ordinary race, so she's a straightforward choice to get her career off to the perfect start. Kisuton Enki shaped with promise when runner-up on her recent comeback/hurdling debut at Limerick and is surely capable of better back in this sphere, while Jo's Secret has fair form in the book and can prove best of the rest.
