Codger's Rock^p²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Ben Harvey| T: C Collins| OR: 100

18/1

Left previous efforts behind when second of 14 in 2m maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan in May and is best excused effort in similar event there 24 days ago due to a bad mistake 2 out. Makes his handicap debut with the yard back among the winners, but his opening mark looks no gift.

Form: 7F7-26

Ikalimix^t³¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Danny Mullins| T: E M O'Sullivan| OR: 95

50/1

In frame on first 2 starts in bumpers but lightly raced since and hasn't cut a great deal of ice in maiden hurdles, acknowledging he probably needed the run last September after a 16-month absence. Off again since and handicapper has taken no chance with his mark.

Form: 34965/0-

Memories Maker^t¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: James Smith⁽⁵⁾| T: A McCann| OR: 93

80/1

Showed fair form as a 3-y-o on the Flat but has made little impact in limited outings since, including on 2026 return, and has yet to finish better than mid-field in a trio of starts in maiden hurdles. Hard to fancy now tackling a handicap in this sphere.

Form: 05/0-

Maxicourt²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Michael Kenneally⁽⁵⁾| T: P J Duffy| OR: 90

2/1

Unreliable sort but turned in best effort of the season when 3½ lengths third of 23 to Gino Bella in C&D handicap 24 days ago. Obvious claims if repeating that effort but comes with risks attached.

Form: 008-9P3

Syosset^h¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Alex Harvey| T: J C McConnell| OR: 88

7/1

Good efforts when placed in handicaps at Roscommon and Wexford last month, in first-time hood when 3 lengths second of 10 to thriving Del Boys Diva last time. Up 3 lb but not yet fully exposed. One for the shortlist.

Form: 00/00-32

Redcliff Glen^t⁶⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Philip Byrnes| T: C Byrnes| OR: 86

6/1

Has come down the weights but failed to meet expectations when 24¾ lengths fifth of 14 to Topothelane at Wexford when last seen in May. Tongue strap back on now and dropped another 2 lb, though others make more appeal.

Form: 0580-65

Highland Earl²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Brian Hayes| T: L P Cusack| OR: 85| D

17/2

Showed improved form and landed a gamble when winning 14-runner 17f handicap hurdle at Wexford last season by head from Prince of Air. Shaped as if needing returning from 12 months off at Roscommon 28 days ago and likely to be much closer to form this time.

Form: 07/751-8

Scarlet Purse¹⁹³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Sean Flanagan| T: M Hassett| OR: 85

18/1

Makes debut for another new yard having failed to make an impact in bumpers or hurdles.

Form: 096/000-

Stily⁷⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Alan O'Sullivan⁽⁵⁾| T: M J McDonagh| OR: 84

10/1

Maiden hurdler/chaser who was pulled up in handicap chase at Limerick in May after 6 months off. Back over hurdles and not discounted on his 2 placed efforts in this sphere last summer, especially with a good-value conditional on board.

Form: 56332-P

Vairue²⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 10-11| J: Sam Ewing| T: Ms H P Markham| OR: 83

28/1

Made late headway from a long way back when 20¼ lengths seventh of 16 to Boston Bobby at Kilbeggan on return from 20 months off. Probably best watched unless market suggests otherwise.

Form: 16409/7

Ina Mina¹⁶²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: John Shinnick| T: T O'Brien| OR: 82

11/2

Well held all 4 starts in maiden hurdles but very much the type to do better now tackling a handicap in this sphere on the back of a break, with her opening mark looking potentially lenient based on her 2025 Flat form.

Form: 0880-

Benzine³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Danny Power⁽⁷⁾| T: J Morrison| OR: 80

10/1

Maiden who returned in good form this season but was well below form back over fences last time. Capable of being in the mix if bouncing back over hurdles.

Form: 60-2649

Clarin Breeze¹⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: Luke Burke Ott⁽⁷⁾| T: M Winters| OR: 80

80/1

Maiden who has been sent off at large odds and made little to no impact over hurdles, including on handicap debut last time.

Form: 5P00P-

Leo Messy^t²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Harry Sexton⁽⁷⁾| T: T Gibney| OR: 80

9/1

Fared no better when well held in first-time tongue strap on handicap bow at Sligo last month. Market position (9/2) suggests that better may have been expected but drop back to 2m not an obvious call given the stamina in his pedigree.

Form: 000-8

Nobody^h²⁰⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: Phillip Enright| T: Brendan Walsh| OR: 78

28/1

Limited maiden who has yet to finish better than mid-field in 8 starts over hurdles.

Form: 800/008-

Another Blunder¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Mike O'Connor| T: Michael Barry| OR: 77

80/1

Well beaten all 4 starts in maiden hurdles and lots more needed now handicapping back down markedly in trip.

Form: 70-0068

Forecasts

Maxicourt (2/1), Ina Mina (11/2), Redcliff Glen (6/1), Syosset (7/1), Highland Earl (17/2), Leo Messy (9/1), Stily (10/1), Benzine (10/1), Scarlet Purse (18/1), Codger's Rock (18/1), Space Warrior (20/1), Who's Da Goose (20/1), Malbas (25/1), Nobody (28/1), Vairue (28/1), Ikalimix (50/1), Another Blunder (80/1), Clarin Breeze (80/1), Memories Maker (80/1)

INA MINA hasn’t shown much over hurdles so far, but she is well treated on last summer’s Flat form and looks worth chancing in an ordinary handicap. Syosset arrives in good order and looks the chief threat, with Stily and Highland Earl also respected.
