5/1

Turned in best effort since winning a conditionals maiden at Fairyhouse last season when ½ lengths third of 13 to Secret Rock in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan a fortnight ago. Slightly longer trip and stiff finish should suit based on that run, but not sure to be in same form.

Form: 18P09/3

Bryson^h¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: James Smith⁽⁵⁾| T: W R Crawford| OR: 97

9/2

Produced best effort over hurdles when sixth of 16 in handicap at Naas last season. Unseated early on return 18 days ago and, while yard is going well at present, significant improvement will be required to feature here.

Form: 480B6/U

Oh So Charming^t¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Kevin Healy⁽⁷⁾| T: D Queally| OR: 97

9/2

Best effort for some time when 2¾ lengths second of 9 to Rich Belief in claiming hurdle at Wexford 18 days ago. On a good mark reverting to handicap company but given his need for a well-run race at this trip, the lack of a confirmed front runner is a concern.

Form: 4644/52

Victoria Kesia¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Harry Sexton⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 91

16/1

Fair Flat winner who has gone backwards since her hurdling debut last season but may do better now tackling a handicap in this sphere.

Form: 6P/08

Bowgate Street^t¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Jack Gilligan⁽⁵⁾| T: M Flannery| OR: 90| D

12/1

Won 15-runner handicap at Sligo in May, beating Blue Moon Boy by 2¼ lengths. Shaped better than the bare result when 15 lengths eighth of 15 to Can Happen at Ballinrobe last time, keeping on when denied a run after last. Claims of being in the frame if in same form here.

Form: 5983/18

Walk Win^p¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Philip Donovan⁽³⁾| T: J M Burke| OR: 94

10/1

Lightly-raced maiden who, in first-time cheekpieces, stepped up markedly on previous hurdling efforts when 1¾ lengths second of 13 to Secret Rock in handicap at Kilbeggan a fortnight ago. Likely to be involved if able to find further progress.

Form: 069/92

Copper Rocker¹⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Ricky Doyle| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 92

16/1

Down the field in academy hurdles and beaten when fell heavily last in handicap when last seen in January, though is well worth a market check as she makes debut for yard in red-hot form at present.

Spanish John²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Richard Condon⁽⁵⁾| T: P A Fahy| OR: 87

11/1

Without a win over hurdles since 2023 but won twice on the Flat in 2025 and finished in the frame on 5 of his 6 starts over hurdles last season. Fit from a spin on the Flat last month.

Demanding Gerry^t¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Conor Smithers⁽⁷⁾| T: J Fahey| OR: 86

6/1

Good efforts when runner-up in handicaps on 4 of her last 5 starts, beaten 4 lengths by Kilt in 14-runner event at Wexford on latest. Winner was enterprising ridden that day and no reason to think she won't be on the premises again.

Form: 52220/2

Centaq^p²³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: P J O'Hanlon| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 83

11/2

Runner-up 3 times in 2025/26, including twice at this course. Stepped up on reappearance when 5½ lengths fourth of 10 to Bruant at this track last time. Should give good account but other more persuasive for win purposes.

Form: 90R2/64

Poor maiden that has failed to make much of an impact in handicap hurdles on last 2 starts.

Bryson (9/2), Oh So Charming (9/2), High Notions (5/1), Centaq (11/2), Demanding Gerry (6/1), Walk Win (10/1), Spanish John (11/1), Bowgate Street (12/1), Patrick Street (12/1), Victoria Kesia (16/1), Copper Rocker (16/1), Georginas Jet (20/1), Boston Queen (25/1), Dark Berkshire (50/1), The Poet's Way (80/1), Magnificent Era (80/1), Sonny Fella (100/1)

DEMANDING GERRY has been knocking on the door for some time and is taken to gain deserved compensation for a string of near misses. Oh So Charming is well handicapped at present and rates a major threat if the race is run to suit, while Spanish John could also have a say if sharper for his recent outing on the Flat.
