Daydream Nation¹³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Ben Harvey| T: William Harvey

17/2

Point winner who made a winning handicap debut in hurdle at Leopardstown in March. Good third at Fairyhouse next time but not in same form at Punchestown Festival final start. Down in trip for chase bow but looks the type who will improve again over fences.

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Danny Gilligan| T: G Elliott| C

10/11

Flat/hurdles winner. Awarded the Galway Hurdle last season but not in same form in this year's renewal. However, is the best of these over hurdles so obvious claims if taking to this sphere at the first attempt.

Form: 2/1301-0

Ocastle Des Mottes³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| OR: 126| D

7/4

Useful hurdler who matched that form on his chasing debut when runner-up in a Punchestown maiden in November 2024. Lightly raced since but was a back-to-form second in maiden here (23f) in late July and he sets the standard.

Form: 025/4-P2

Polepatrick^h⁹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Donagh Meyler| T: Mark E McCrory| BF

33/1

Improved markedly from his hurdling debut when successful in a Tramore maiden in April. However, disappointed next time and has since left Henry de Bromhead. Makes chase debut.

Form: 285/31-2

William Tell^t³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Daniel King| T: D H Kelly| OR: 120| D

16/1

Dual winning hurdler who was a promising second on chase debut at Wexford in June. Mixed record since, however, with his jumping proving a let down.

Form: 972U54

Mongibello⁵⁰¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: J J Slevin| T: S R B Crawford| OR: 128

12/1

Bumper winner who doubled her tally over hurdles at Perth in April 2025 but she's been off the track since.

Forecasts

Ndaawi (10/11), Ocastle Des Mottes (7/4), Captain Ryan Matt (4/1), Daydream Nation (17/2), Mongibello (12/1), William Tell (16/1), Polepatrick (33/1), Feet On The Ground (50/1)

OCASTLE DES MOTTES got back on track when second here 38 days ago and can put his experience to good use, though Ndaawi, Daydream Nation and Captain Ryan Matt all look interesting recruits to this sphere.
