Swelltime¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Josh Williamson| T: W J O'Doherty| OR: 100| CD

7/1

Below par since winning this in good style last year off 2 lb higher though probably needed comeback run at Limerick before out of his depth back on the Flat 2 weeks ago.

Form: 51309-8

Luck Between Us²⁰⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: Niall Moore⁽²⁾| T: D Duggan| OR: 99

33/1

Placed in a couple of maiden hurdles but well held off stiff opening mark at Cork and looks plenty high enough in the weights.

Form: 283607-

Malikanna⁶¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: Peter Smithers⁽⁴⁾| T: P Roche| OR: 99

9/1

Much improved when second at Limerick in March though she seemed not to stay this longer trip at Wexford next time.

Form: 70F92-6

King Ferdinand⁴⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-10| J: Alan O'Sullivan⁽²⁾| T: E M O'Sullivan| OR: 96| C

28/1

Inconsistent in 2024 and offered nothing after 17 months off at Listowel in May.

Form: 65U66/P

Gaoithe Glory^t⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Patrick M O'Brien⁽²⁾| T: E McNamara| OR: 93

9/1

Had missed a further 4 months but still produced one of his better handicap runs when fourth at Limerick in April and not disgraced when fifth of 18 there following month.

Form: 75994-5

Inchidaly Copper^p¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: Luke Burke Ott⁽⁴⁾| T: A Ott| OR: 93| C

9/1

Fair chaser who was in good form from appreciably lower hurdles mark at the back end of last year. Offered very little at Limerick on return 2 weeks ago but this trip more suitable and headgear back on.

Form: 26133-8

Koeur A Prendre⁶³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Michael Kenneally| T: M A Molloy| OR: 92

9/2

Glimmers of ability in maiden hurdles before showing much improved form on handicap debut when second of 15 at Clonmel 9 weeks ago, just unable to catch one ridden more positively. Open to further progress and can go one better.

Form: 770-2

Ray Gun^t⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Jordan Canavan⁽⁴⁾| T: J P Flavin| OR: 93

100/1

Flat winner but has gone the wrong way since his debut in this sphere.

Form: 800P-P

Brianna Lily³¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Eoghan Finegan⁽²⁾| T: J Barcoe| OR: 86

16/1

Produced her best effort for a while when third at Clonmel but she has failed to back that up next 2 starts and remains hard to catch right.

Form: 0P-0368

Boston Queen⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Paddy Cleary⁽⁴⁾| T: G Elliott| OR: 84

50/1

From top yard but she's yet to make an impact over hurdles.

Form: 9960-B

Mother Ship^p⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Sexton⁽⁴⁾| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 84

14/1

Maiden hurdler who was placed twice last season but has been below form on both outings this spring.

Form: 52P5-88

Tedworth⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Dylan O'Connor⁽⁴⁾| T: Michael Barry| OR: 83| D

7/1

Finally put it all together when taking advantage of a falling mark at Tramore on return and backed that up despite not seen to best effect when fourth at Clonmel. Still in contention when unseated 2 out back at Tramore 7 weeks ago and he remains of interest.

Form: 6401-4U

Pleasureofpressure^p⁶¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Shane O'Callaghan| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 81| BF

7/2

Best effort when runner-up at Tramore final start last year and has continued in good heart this spring. Can make his presence felt.

Form: 54234-4

Miss Donna^t⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Dylan Whelan⁽⁴⁾| T: Patrick Kiely| OR: 79

8/1

Seemed suited by return to further when third at Clonmel 6 weeks ago. That form is working out well so she's not taken lightly.

Form: 48P-583

Forecasts

Pleasureofpressure (7/2), Koeur A Prendre (9/2), Tedworth (7/1), Swelltime (7/1), Papagei (7/1), Miss Donna (8/1), Inchidaly Copper (9/1), Gaoithe Glory (9/1), Malikanna (9/1), Mother Ship (14/1), Brianna Lily (16/1), Beacon Bypass (20/1), King Ferdinand (28/1), Luck Between Us (33/1), Boston Queen (50/1), Ray Gun (100/1)

KOEUR A PRENDRE showed big improvement on handicap debut when second at Clonmel and this unexposed sort can go one better at the main expense of the in-form Tedworth and last year's winner Swelltime.
