Beechingstoke⁶⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Josh Younge⁽⁷⁾| T: A Slattery

66/1

Pulled up in bumper and maiden hurdle nearly 6 months apart. Can only watch.

Form: P-P

Belladaball^t²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G P Cromwell

7/2

Listed bumper winner. Fourth of 11 in maiden at Kilbeggan (2m, good) on hurdle debut 24 days ago. That bumper ability marks her down as a likely improver.

Form: 3410-4

Easter Bonnet²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Brian Hayes| T: W P Mullins| BF

11/1

Yet to build on bumper debut success, beaten 21¼ lengths when fourth of 20 on Cork hurdle debut 24 days ago. Should be capable of better but Emerald Enigma looks the stable first string here.

Form: 1P-04

Emerald Enigma⁸²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| C

8/13

Won both bumpers in the spring and rates a useful recruit to hurdling for top stable.

Form: 1-1

Flowing Fast⁷¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr A P Kennedy⁽⁷⁾| T: G O'Loughlin

100/1

Maiden pointer, last of 8 finishers last time (May 24). Outsider now hurdling.

Fraher Field¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Alan O'Sullivan⁽⁵⁾| T: J & T Kiely| OR: 104| D

15/2

Fair bumper winner. Similar form over hurdles when second in maiden at Listowel (2m) in June. Possibly failed to stay 23f when a remote sixth at Killarney latest.

Form: 217-026

Golden Wings^h⁸⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott

10/1

Third of 20 in maiden at Punchestown (16.5f, heavy) on hurdle debut in January but well below that level in 2 subsequent starts.

Form: P93P-0

Jolly D'olivate¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Tiernan Power Roche| T: P J Rothwell

150/1

Is a winning pointer with a patchy overall record between the flags and well held in 2 maiden hurdles last month.

Form: 1FPP-89

Kaleo Ametsa^t⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Phillip Enright| T: J Halley

16/1

Modest maiden in bumpers and over hurdles and likely vulnerable again.

Form: 496/F9-5

Kauto Empress⁶³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Ms A T O'Reilly⁽⁷⁾| T: M Winters

100/1

80/1, tenth of 13 in maiden hurdle at Listowel (2m, good to soft) on debut 63 days ago, pulling hard.

Form: 0

Queenofqueenstreet³⁸⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Ian Power| T: E Sheehy

100/1

Sholokhov filly who offered little when fifteenth of 16 in bumper at Cork (17f, good) on debut 12 months ago. Has since switched yards ahead of this hurdling debut.

Form: 0-

The Orphan Girl^h1¹⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Ethan O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: Peter Fahey

20/1

Off mark in points at fifth attempt (Mar 2026). The betting should help guide to expectations now hurdling.

Windy Grey^t1¹³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr A Burke-Ott⁽⁷⁾| T: P O'Flynn

150/1

No show in a pair of maiden hurdles for A. M. O'Grady in March. Tongue strap on first time.

Form: 8P-

Wonderful Everyday⁶³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Danny Mullins| T: W P Mullins| D

9/2

Useful bumper winner but could only manage a well-held fifth on Listowel hurdle debut 63 days ago. Will surely do better at some point but Emerald Enigma looks very much the stable number one this time.

Form: 1/0726-5

Absolutley Fab²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: John Shinnick| T: W J Burke

150/1

25/1, twelfth of 14 on C&D debut 24 days ago. Can only watch.

Form: 0

Kenny's Jewel¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: J J Slevin| T: Ms M Mullins

150/1

No promise in 3 hurdles.

Form: P8-0

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Luke Burke Ott⁽⁷⁾| T: M Winters

150/1

Pulled up in maiden hurdle at Listowel (2m, good to soft) on debut 63 days ago, weakening before 4 out.

Form: P

Neat As A Pin¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Rian Lane⁽⁷⁾| T: E Bolger

150/1

125/1, well held on completed start in maiden hurdles last month.

Form: U0

Thelittleredfox¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Reserve 1| T: D Ahern

150/1

150/1, last of 12 in bumper at Killarney (17f, good) on debut 17 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. RESERVE.

Form: 0

Sea Limit¹¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Reserve 2| T: E M O'Sullivan

100/1

Getaway mare who has some fairly useful winners in her pedigree but was only sixth on her point debut in the spring. RESERVE.

Forecasts

Emerald Enigma (4/5), Belladaball (9/2), Fraher Field (6/1), Wonderful Everyday (8/1), Easter Bonnet (10/1), The Orphan Girl (12/1), Golden Wings (14/1), Kaleo Ametsa (16/1), Sea Limit (50/1), Beechingstoke (50/1), Flowing Fast (66/1), Kenny's Jewel (66/1), Jolly D'olivate (66/1), Neat As A Pin (100/1), Queenofqueenstreet (100/1), Misty Valentine (100/1), Kauto Empress (100/1), Absolutley Fab (100/1), Thelittleredfox (150/1), Windy Grey (150/1)

EMERALD ENIGMA looked good when landing a couple of bumpers in the spring and will be tough to beat if she can translate that level of ability to hurdles. Belladaball was also fairly useful in the bumper field and can build on her Kilbeggan hurdle debut fourth and provide the main threat ahead of the selection's stablemate Easter Bonnet.
