A Year Older⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Ben Harvey| T: K Thornton| OR: 100

3/1

Much improved when winning over hurdles at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day and made amends for Down Royal fall when off the mark over fences at Limerick. Backed that up with an excellent second of 16 at Punchestown last week and another big run looks on the cards.

Form: P8/1F-12

Killybegs Jet Lady^t,v²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Alan Doyle⁽³⁾| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 96| D

9/2

Irish point winner who finally got off the mark over Rules at Kelso 3 weeks ago, making the most of what ended up a simple task. Up 6 lb but can go well again.

Form: 52PB-21

Passengerontheship^t⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 92| C

1/1

Arrives here at the top of his game after 2 wins here (2½m), including when holding on gamely last week off 4 lb lower. Should make a bold bid for the hat-trick back up in trip.

Form: 2/86-P11

Dr Shirocco²⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 10-4| J: Harry Reed| T: Miss S E Forster| OR: 76| CD

11/1

Veteran on a losing run and typically followed a good run with a below-par one over C&D last month. Back on a career-low mark at least.

Form: 7446-34

Croagh Patrick^b²¹

Age: 11| Weight: 10-4| J: William Maggs⁽³⁾| T: G Boanas| OR: 76| C| D

33/1

Scored at Carlisle in December 2024 but off the boil subsequently that season and was soon done with on debut for this yard after 15 months at Cartmel 3 weeks ago.

Form: 21P9P/7

She Won't Mind^t¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: David Noonan| T: T Reed| OR: 74

28/1

Point winner but low mileage maiden under Rules (has bled), well held both starts last month after a year off.

Form: P9/4U-73

The Kings Soldier^t¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Oscar Palmer⁽⁷⁾| T: Tracey Leeson| OR: 72

12/1

Limited over hurdles and not an obvious chasing type (pulled up in point).

Form: 6674-63

Forecasts

Passengerontheship (1/1), A Year Older (3/1), Killybegs Jet Lady (9/2), Dr Shirocco (11/1), The Kings Soldier (12/1), She Won't Mind (28/1), Croagh Patrick (33/1), Jet Light (50/1)

The thriving PASSENGERONTHESHIP can complete a quick-fire hat-trick here with the return to further not an issue. Irish-raider A Year Older also arrives at the top of his game and is the obvious threat, with Killybegs Jet Lady best of the others.
