Off time: 15:15 | Winning time: 4m 13.70s

Fedneys Park^h²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 100

5/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 16/1, very good fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (17f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Unexposed mare from a leading stable so there could be more to come.

Form: 1380/04-

Gamigin^p,t⁴⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-13| J: Mr O McGill⁽⁵⁾| T: N C Kelly| OR: 99| D

9/2

Eleven runs since last win in 2024. 14/1, bit below form when sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (2¼m, soft) 48 days ago. Well treated again and one to monitor closely in the betting.

Form: 30026/6-

Final Decision⁴⁰⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Tiernan Power Roche| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 98

50/1

Bumper winner for Anthony McCann back in 2023. Well held on completed starts in maiden hurdles. Off for another 13 months but still worth a precautionary betting check now handicapping for a new yard which won this race last year.

Form: 3126F0/

Bossing It²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Sean Flanagan| T: D M O'Brien| OR: 94

11/1

Out of sorts in recent outings but starting to look well treated on the form she showed at the betting of last season.

Form: 3307/P0-

Teagarden Jazz^t¹⁰⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Michael Kenneally⁽⁵⁾| T: Charlie Keegan| OR: 94

66/1

Remains a maiden after 16 hurdles runs. Pulled up in handicap (80/1) at Thurles 107 days ago. Others are preferred.

Form: 66680/P-

Comanche Moon³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Philip Byrnes| T: C Byrnes| OR: 92

11/2

Shapes as if he's building up to something, travelling well long way when ninth of 14 over 2m at Limerick last month. Market support would look significant.

Form: 85P/479-

Annie's Belle^h,t³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: James Smith⁽⁵⁾| T: C O'Connell| OR: 91

11/1

In the process of showing improved form when departing 2 out on 2½m Wexford handicap debut (soft) 36 days ago. Likely would have finished in the frame and enters calculations if none the worse.

Form: 795F-

Menas Miracle^t¹⁹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Conor Stone-Walsh| T: Brendan Walsh| OR: 87| CD

6/1

C&D winner last July. Creditable fifth of 11 in maiden chase (9/2) at Thurles (2¼m, good to soft) when last seen in October. Claims if ready to roll after 6 months off.

Form: 214725/

La Tulipe Noire^p⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Danny Mullins| T: Aengus King| OR: 84

28/1

Won twice on the Flat last autumn but well held back hurdling in November and recent Flat exploits are nothing to get excited about.

Form: 00P9P8/

Craic Eile²⁶⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-9| J: Carl Millar⁽⁵⁾| T: D Budds| OR: 81| D

18/1

Thirty runs since last win in 2021. Ninth of 14 in handicap hurdle (7/1) at Killarney (2½m, good to soft) last August. Off since. Not hard to look elsewhere.

Form: 236059/

Lost Features²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Philip Donovan⁽³⁾| T: D Collins| OR: 81

50/1

Little show in bumpers/maiden hurdles. Handicap debut.

Form: 008P/9-

Cholo²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Phillip Enright| T: M Butler| OR: 77

5/1

Good sixth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (2m, good to soft, 22/1) 26 days ago, unable to sustain effort on return from 8 months off. That was a promising run for this sort of level.

Form: 00005/6-

Avandra^b1⁷³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Shane O'Callaghan⁽⁵⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 72

11/2

Long-standing maiden hasn't been shaping like a winner in waiting. First-time blinkers replace cheekpieces.

Form: 76P0/70-

Esticky End¹⁴¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Dylan Robinson| T: Tom McGuinness| OR: 72

25/1

Inconsistent performer. Creditable fifth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (17f, soft) over Christmas but not seen since. Others more persuasive.

Forecasts

Gamigin (9/2), Cholo (5/1), Fedneys Park (5/1), Avandra (11/2), Comanche Moon (11/2), Menas Miracle (6/1), Bossing It (11/1), Annie's Belle (11/1), Craic Eile (18/1), Western Opera (20/1), Esticky End (25/1), La Tulipe Noire (28/1), Butch Coolidge (33/1), Lost Features (50/1), Final Decision (50/1), Teagarden Jazz (66/1), Boltlander (66/1)

COMANCHE MOON has been better than the result in recent starts and gets the vote, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Cholo shaped quite well back from a break at Tramore last month and is second choice ahead of Annie's Belle and Fedneys Park, an unexposed mare from the Henry de Bromhead yard.
