Chautuaqua25
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-7| J: Donagh Meyler| T: D Hogan| OR:  97| C
Bumper winner but long-standing maiden over hurdles. Showed she retains her ability after 12 months off when second of 10 in maiden at Gowran in March, though tailed off at Clonmel later in the month. Unseated rider at the first at Tramore last time.
|
Timeform
Fair handicapper at best on Flat (stays 7f) but no form since 2023 and offered little on hurdles debut at Gowran (2m, heavy, 125/1) 68 days ago. Cheekpieces go on.
|
Timeform
Twice-raced maiden. Still needed experience when tenth of 16 in bumper (125/1) at Cork (17f, good). Off 10 months. Makes hurdles debut.
|
Timeform
Blue Bresil mare. Half-sister to bumper winner/fair 23f hurdle winner Chance The Robin out of a dam closely related to high-class chaser Snoopy Loopy. Yard not traditionally associated with debut winners.

Crossbar Getaway244
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-13| J: Sam Ewing| T: G Elliott
Placed on first 2 bumper outings since joining this powerful yard but well below that level both starts over hurdles so far. Returns from 8-month absence here.

Game Phoenix196
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-13| J: Dylan Whelan(7)| T: Paul Power| OR:  98
Modest hurdler who posted a respectable third in a maiden at Killarney in August. Seemingly failed to stay when tenth of 11 in novice chase at Thurles (2¼m, good to soft, 11/1) on debut over fences. Off 6 months. Place claims in weak race.
|
Timeform
Zambezi Sun mare. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler Ted Hastings (2m-2½m winner). Dam lightly raced in bumpers/over hurdles. Watch for market clues.

Jumbos Jeth58
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-13| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: W J Martin| OR:  98
Has improved with each run over hurdles, progressing again in first-time hood when second of 9 in novice hurdle (8/1) at Wexford (2m, heavy) 58 days ago. Should be in the mix again.

Kaleo Ametsat136
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-13| J: Phillip Enright| T: J Halley
Running well in third when falling late on hurdles debut but only ninth of 11 at Leopardstown (2½m, good to soft) next time. Off 136 days since.
|
Timeform
Renaissance Man mare. Dam ran once over hurdles. Doesn't make much appeal on paper.
Timeform
Vadamos mare. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser The Greek and fair chaser Templebredin. Doesn't strike as an obvious debut winner.

Muted Melodyh13
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-13| J: Danny Mullins| T: A Mullins
Steady progress in 4 bumper runs last year, albeit possibly flattered in a steadily-run listed event at Gowran in October. Stiff task when ninth of 21 in bumper (100/1) at Punchestown (19f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Respected hurdling newcomer.

Nirisque25
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-13| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead| OR:  107
Promising second in fillies juvenile hurdle at Compiegne on debut, her only start for N. George & A. Zetterholm and back on track when second of 12 in novice hurdle at Tramore (2m, good to soft, 15/8) 25 days ago. Sets the standard.

Our Girl Ellieh196
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-13| J: Cian Quirke| T: S Ryan| OR:  93
Remains a maiden after 7 hurdle runs but was a creditable sixth of 12 in handicap at Thurles (2½m, good to soft, 12/1). Drop back in trip should suit after 6 months off.
|
Timeform
Yet to show any ability in bumper or on 3 starts over hurdles.
|
Timeform
Well held in 2 bumpers, so easy to oppose on hurdles bow.
|
Timeform
Has shown little in 3 starts.
|
Timeform
Fared no better for first-time hood when seventh of 9 in novice hurdle at Wexford (2m, heavy, 200/1) 58 days ago. Headgear discarded.
