Poetic Twist¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Kevin Sexton| T: G Elliott| OR: 110

10/3

Showed ability in bumpers and has made a positive start over hurdles, runner-up first 2 outings before going one better in 10-runner maiden at Tramore (2¾m) 17 days ago. Scored comfortably last time and she merits consideration with more still to offer.

Form: 422/21

Venusienne^h²⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Aidan Kelly⁽³⁾| T: W P Mullins

4/7

Shaped promisingly when runner-up in listed hurdle at Auteuil on debut. Highly tried in 2 starts for current yard last spring, before easily landing the odds (fitted with a hood) in 2½m Tramore maiden in October. The one to beat on reappearance.

Another Blunder¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Alan O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: Michael Barry

200/1

Little promise in 2 bumpers in 2025 and fared no better in a pair of maiden hurdles last month, tailed off at Limerick (2m) 18 days ago.

Form: 70/00

Maximillian Lady⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Richard Condon⁽⁵⁾| T: P Hennessy

6/1

Promise in bumpers for C. W. J. Farrell last season, forging clear for success at Galway on second outing before runner-up in listed event at Gowran. Well held in Grade 3 at Punchestown in April on stable debut, but she's worth another chance as she goes hurdling.

Form: P2120/

Maybe Someday^p1,t1²⁶⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Ben Kennedy⁽⁷⁾| T: M O Quigley

200/1

Mid-field in a bumper but yet to offer much in 3 maiden hurdles, tailed off at Navan (19f) when last seen in September. Returns from 8 months off with tongue strap and cheekpieces applied.

Form: 0050/

Talas Kera¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Eoghan Finegan⁽⁷⁾| T: J G Carr

100/1

Made the frame on bumper debut but hasn't progressed since, well held on completed start over hurdles in January. After 4 months off, seventh of 11 in bumper at Tramore 17 days ago.

Form: 7783P/7

Where Eagles Fly²³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Harry Sexton⁽⁷⁾| T: E Sheehy

150/1

Wings of Eagles mare. Half-sister to fair hurdler Stopherandgo, stays 2¼m: Dam, lightly raced over hurdles, sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 29f) General Principle. Failed to complete both starts in points last month, unseating rider on latest.

Form: B/U

Carmel's Phoenix^h²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Thomas O'Connor⁽⁷⁾| T: M Fahey

9/2

Fairly useful form in only 4 starts on the Flat, taking advantage of drop back in grade when winning 12-runner maiden at Cork (1½m) last month. Interesting contender as she makes hurdling debut with hood reapplied.

Forecasts

Venusienne (4/7), Poetic Twist (10/3), Carmel's Phoenix (9/2), Maximillian Lady (6/1), Kenisa Sport (6/1), Love At Sea (10/1), Talas Kera (100/1), Mila Ballerina (100/1), Where Eagles Fly (150/1), Maybe Someday (200/1), Another Blunder (200/1)

VENUSIENNE completed a simple task when running out a wide-margin winner of a Tramore maiden in October and she could have plenty more to offer now that she's up and running. Poetic Twist also got off the mark on her latest outing and is feared most, while bumper-winner Maximillian Lady is one to note on hurdling debut.
