17/2

Useful form when winning twice over hurdles in 2023/24 but largely disappointing since, faring little better back over hurdles in a first-time hood at Musselburgh in February. Enough to prove.

4/11

More miss than hit since finishing runner-up in the Plate at the 2025 Cheltenham Festival but ran better than for a whole reverting to hurdling after 4 months off when second in 8-runner minor event at Ballinrobe (2¼m) 11 days ago. Must enter calculations.

Opened her account under Rules in a 2m Tramore maiden in April. Ran at least as well in defeat at Cork since but has plenty on at the weights here.

Forecasts

Thecompanysergeant (4/11), Farren Glory (2/1), King Of Kingsfield (11/4), Mighty Tom (4/1), Encanto Bruno (17/2), Crohan Lady (12/1)

FARREN GLORY isn’t the most reliable of betting propositions, but he is still the one to beat in this company judged on his third in the Grade 3 Red Mills at Gowran in February. King of Kingsfield and Thecompanysergeant are considered the chief threats.
