Mordor¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Josh Williamson⁽⁵⁾| T: G Elliott| OR: 124

11/4

Won 11-runner handicap at Navan (1¾m) 46 days ago. Given a chance by the handicapper on first go in this sphere since the 2025 Martin Pipe but appeared not to stay this trip on only other attempt.

Ad Caelum¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Danny Mullins| T: J P Ryan| OR: 118| CD

14/1

Successful twice in handicap hurdles last year, including in this race. Well held over fences of late and back in this sphere now.

Form: 543P6-7

Ceanndana^p¹⁹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Keith Donoghue| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 118| C

7/2

Course winner who posted a good third of 13 in handicap chase at Down Royal (3m) 6 months ago. This versatile sort goes back hurdling now off a handy-looking mark so is not taken lightly.

Form: 163923/

Ottoman Style^b,t¹⁸⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: Liam McKenna⁽³⁾| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 118| D

50/1

Off 8 months before being pulled up in handicap hurdle at Navan (21f) 180 days ago. Big step forward required.

Form: 477P0P/

Ringdufferin^p²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Ricky Doyle| T: A L T Moore| OR: 112| D

20/1

First run since leaving Gordon Elliott when a respectable fourth of 12 in handicap chase at Tramore (2¾m) 26 days ago. No forlorn hope back over hurdles.

Form: F60P0/4-

Digby^p¹¹

Age: 11| Weight: 10-12| J: Alix Balfe⁽⁷⁾| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 110| D

20/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2025 and only sixth of 7 in handicap chase at Down Royal (3¼m) 11 days ago. Reverts to hurdles with plenty to prove.

Form: 46/0P0-6

Faceman²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Brian Hayes| T: D H Kelly| OR: 110| C

6/1

Course winner. Fell heavily on chasing debut in novice at Tramore (2¾m) 25 days ago. Quickly reverts to hurdles and not out of things if none the worse.

Form: 21435/F-

Mystic Malina⁴¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Phillip Enright| T: D G Murphy| OR: 109| D

2/1

Scored over hurdles at Cork in March and backed it up with a respectable seventh of 20 in handicap at Fairyhouse (3m) 41 days ago. In the mix.

Form: 601/P17-

Zam Bobbler⁴⁰

Weight: 10-9| Age: 5

Forecasts

Mystic Malina (2/1), Mordor (11/4), Ceanndana (7/2), Faceman (6/1), Zam Bobbler (13/2), Ad Caelum (14/1), Digby (20/1), Ringdufferin (20/1), Ottoman Style (50/1)

CEANNDANA returns to hurdling off a handy-looking mark and gets the vote over Mordor, who is also handily weighted but appeared not to stay 3m on his previous attempt. Mystic Malina is a danger.
