Kilbarry Ce Ce^p¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Carl Millar⁽⁵⁾| T: C O'Keeffe| OR: 94

18/1

Well below form at Clonmel last time but has hit the frame in 3 of her 4 starts at this track and is fancied to bounce back in a race that should be run to suit.

Form: 504P4/0

Maxicourt¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Danny Mullins| T: P J Duffy| OR: 90

10/1

Standout effort when second in maiden hurdle at this track last October but again finished well held at Cork (in first-time cheekpieces) on his latest start.

Form: 75008/9

Soldier Saint^h¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: Mark E McCrory| OR: 90

7/1

Low-mileage 5-y-o is already on his third yard, but he did take a step back in the right direction when fifth of 15 in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel last time.

Form: 0900/05

Brianna Lily¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: Josh Williamson⁽⁵⁾| T: J Barcoe| OR: 89

8/1

Returning to the scene of her previous 2 career wins, she produced her best effort for a while when third of 10 at Clonmel on her latest start, and merits serious consideration off a 2 lb lower mark.

Form: 070P/03

Captain P^p,t²⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Danny Gilligan| T: C Collins| OR: 87

6/1

Lightly-raced maiden fared no better than he had in this sphere when down the field at Sligo on chase debut last October and has plenty to find at the weights now reverted to hurdling.

Form: 05P807/

Evening's Empire¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Sam Ewing| T: J Barcoe| OR: 85

40/1

Out of sorts over hurdles last year and offered little on her Flat return earlier this month.

Form: 6R9P0P/

Friends Of Barry^p1¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Phillip Enright| T: J & T Kiely| OR: 84

33/1

Has shown little at long odds in maiden hurdles but is at least worth a market check now sent handicapping in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 080/0

U Asking Me^p,t³²⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: J J Slevin| T: E Doyle| OR: 84

22/1

Clonmel handicap hurdle winner got back on track over fences when third of 7 at Wexford last July, though has been off since and is entitled to need this.

Form: 2683P3/

Tedworth¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Alan O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: Michael Barry| OR: 83| C

4/1

Finally put it all together when taking advantage of a falling mark back on return at this track last month, and having not been seen to best effect when creditable fourth of 15 at Clonmel subsequently, he's still one to consider.

Form: 46401/4

Katie's Casper^t²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Patrick M O'Brien⁽⁵⁾| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 82

22/1

Fared no better for the switch to handicaps when down the field at Downpatrick (2¼m) last time, though should at least appreciate the step back up in distance.

Form: P5788/9

Bite That¹⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 10-8| J: Gary Noonan| T: P J Flynn| OR: 80| C

16/1

Course winner has a modest overall strike-rate (2-43) and has been out of form in 3 starts this year.

Form: 45080/9

Set The Tone^t¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: Sean Flanagan| T: D M O'Brien| OR: 78

25/1

Maiden continued out of sorts when tenth of 16 in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel (2½m) on latest start.

Form: 00PP8/0

Clever Court^b1¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: Shane O'Callaghan⁽⁵⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 75

25/1

Pulled up on his previous 3 starts and it's hard to be confident that more severe headgear will make a difference.

Form: 700PP/P

Zolpharine⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-3| J: Daniel King| T: J P Ryan| OR: 75

5/2

Confirmed the promise of his previous run when readily landing a first win over fences at Limerick last time. Back over hurdles from a 2 lb lower mark and makes plenty of appeal in his bid to follow up.

Form: 87505/1

Cruisin Susan¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Mr J P Berry⁽⁷⁾| T: J A Berry| OR: 74| C

14/1

Hasn't won since landing a double at this track in the summer of 2024, though did at least take a step back in the right direction when well-held sixth of 16 at Clonmel on return.

Form: 0P570/6

Not So Serious¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Anna McGuinness⁽⁷⁾| T: W J Lanigan| OR: 85

40/1

Hinted at ability in bumpers for previous yard and while well held in 3 starts over hurdles, he could do better now handicapping over a longer trip. Engaged 6.20 Limerick Thursday. RESERVE

Forecasts

Zolpharine (5/2), Tedworth (4/1), Just For One (9/2), Captain P (6/1), Soldier Saint (7/1), Brianna Lily (8/1), Maxicourt (10/1), Miss Donna (11/1), Cruisin Susan (14/1), Bite That (16/1), Kilbarry Ce Ce (18/1), Katie's Casper (22/1), U Asking Me (22/1), Set The Tone (25/1), Clever Court (25/1), Friends Of Barry (33/1), Not So Serious (40/1), Evening's Empire (40/1), Strand Street Lass (66/1)

ZOLPHARINE looks well treated back over hurdles and can follow up last week's Limerick chase success. Main danger Brianna Lily is also on a handy mark, though, while Kilbarry Ce Ce likes it here and could be dangerous if allowed to dictate. Low-mileage 5-y-o Just For One completes the shortlist.
