Chanceawetmorning⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: James Smith⁽⁵⁾| T: G Elliott| OR: 126

6/4

Made it 3 wins from 4 since joining Gordon Elliott when making the most of a good opportunity at Roscommon last time and he's difficult to discount given his trajectory for new yard.

Form: 2P1/131

Red Glory^t²³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Adam Grant⁽⁷⁾| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 122

16/1

Went one better than at Fairyhouse when successful at Galway last October and while that race panned out well for him, he's still respected having made a winning return from a similar absence last year.

Form: 915621/

Arch Empire¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Ricky Doyle| T: G Elliott| OR: 120

16/1

Unsuited by emphasis on speed at Wexford last time and while the handicapper has given him a chance, this again may not be enough of a test.

Form: 23497/6

Mr Master Mac²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Thomas O'Connor⁽⁷⁾| T: M Fahey| OR: 117| C| D

7/2

Improving sort made it 2 wins from 4 starts when opening his hurdle account at the second attempt in a Downpatrick maiden. That form has taken a few knocks but he's open to further progress now sent handicapping.

Form: 313/1

Cloonainra^p⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Dylan Kidd⁽⁷⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 115| D

10/1

Fairly useful type who ran respectably when fifth of 24 on return to hurdles at Punchestown (19f) last time and is weighted to be competitive on the best of her form.

Form: 159845/

Kamino Bello⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Eoghan Finegan⁽⁷⁾| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 115| D

12/1

Sligo maiden hurdle winner who was well held on return/handicap debut at Punchestown in late-April, though it's still relatively early days for one from a good yard.

Form: 361560/

Malbay Madness^h³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: P J O'Hanlon| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 114

8/1

Yet to be asked for his effort when unseating in this race 12 months ago, and having made it 3 wins from 4 starts at Kilbeggan with a career best performance on his latest start, he's fancied to go close with a clear round.

Form: 1U773/1

Bridgehead⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Alan O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: N Meade| OR: 112

28/1

Had looked potentially interesting on the form of his Bellewstown maiden win in July 2024 but has finished well held both starts since an absence, shaping as though amiss on handicap debut at Punchestown last time.

Form: 223410/

Yosemite Gold¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Gavin Brouder| T: E Doyle| OR: 105

50/1

On a fair mark given his maiden form but has made little impact in handicap hurdles to date and finished last in a Dundalk claimer on his latest outing.

Form: 481608/

Metamorpheus³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Aidan Kelly⁽³⁾| T: A McNamara| OR: 103

11/2

In excellent heart for current yard this year, winning a handicap on the level at Sligo before chasing home Malbay Madness on return to hurdles at Kilbeggan last time, and he's weighted to notch a second success in this sphere.

Form: 48083/2

Forecasts

Chanceawetmorning (6/4), Mr Master Mac (7/2), Metamorpheus (11/2), Bruant (6/1), Malbay Madness (8/1), Cloonainra (10/1), Dontgowithjoe (10/1), Kamino Bello (12/1), Red Glory (16/1), Arch Empire (16/1), Bridgehead (28/1), Yosemite Gold (50/1)

METAMORPHEUS is weighted to reverse form with Malbay Madness and can double his hurdle tally. Hat-trick seeking Dontgowithjoe could be the fly in the ointment.
