Beechingstoke⁶⁵

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

100/1

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

9/1

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

6/1

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

4/6

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

200/1

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

Form: U3P-FP8

Fraher Field¹⁷

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

12/1

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

33/1

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

250/1

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

15/2

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

200/1

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

250/1

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

80/1

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

Form: 64341-

Windy Grey^t1¹³⁰

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

250/1

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

7/2

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

250/1

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.
