John O'Flynn Motors 110 Series Final Handicap Hurdle

Arrives on the back of career-best success in a mares handicap here (2½m) and no surprise to see cheekpieces added (hung left/hampered unlucky runner-up). Drop back in trip shouldn't inconvenience, however, more needed off 6 lb higher in open company.

Split a fairly useful pair at Tramore prior to landing a gamble when wide-margin winner (ahead of Dairy Force) at Limerick latest. He was seen to very good effect on that occasion (raced alone on favoured part of the track) and may be anchored by a 12 lb rise.

Left previous efforts under Rules well behind when winning 16-runner maiden at Sligo in June (form proving strong). Made up ground from a less-than-ideal position on handicap bow when beaten 15¼ lengths at Galway 7 days ago. Worth another chance to show what he can do from this mark.

Belatedly off the mark in 19f Downpatrick novice hurdle in June. Back on track when 15½ lengths fourth at Kilbeggan last time, though probably needs more respite from the handicapper.

Had been largely on an upward curve before recording a breakthrough success in smooth fashion over C&D last time. A 7 lb rise could understate the dominance of that performance, and she's expected to run another big race.

Fairly useful bumper winner in 2024. Well below that form over hurdles (still a maiden in this sphere), for all he should step forward for his first hurdle start of the year at Galway last week.

Enjoying a resurgence for current yard, running his best race in a long while when ½-length second in a much stronger handicap at Galway on Saturday. Looks well treated now and could take the beating if turned out quickly.

Left previous efforts behind when winning 14-runner handicap at Wexford in May. Probably still too high in the weights on the back of that success, for all he wasn't suited by the run of the race at Killarney last time.

Got off the mark in handicap at Clonmel in April and turned in easily his best effort since when runner-up in similar event at Wexford last month. Still looked in reasonable heart when 10½ lengths third (behind Max Meridius) off this mark at Ballinrobe subsequently.

Came as close as she has to doubling her tally when smooth-travelling second at Killarney (17f) last time. Form has since taken a few knocks and now contests a better race.

Stepped up on previous hurdling efforts when justifying support under an enterprising Danny Mullins ride at Ballinrobe (17f) last time. Isn't fully exposed, however, this is a much deeper race.
