Showed much improved form when winning 14-runner 17f handicap at Wexford last month, suited by the strong pace. Presumably found the race coming too soon when not in the same form at this track just 2 days later and no surprise to see her get back on track now.
|
Limited impact in maidens and hasn't gone with any encouragement in a pair of handicaps either side of a 3-month break.
|
Maiden hurdler with an inconsistent profile but ran well when second in mares handicap and mares maiden over C&D earlier this season. Didn't take to chasing at Tramore last time, though, and more needed if she's to go close quickly reverting to hurdling.
|
Long-standing maiden but took a step back in the right direction when 14½ lengths third of 15 to Miss Doyenne in mares maiden at Down Royal last time. Has been given a chance by the handicapper.
|
C&D winner. Hasn't fired this season, including at this track last time, but has fallen in the weights as a result and now finds himself 8 lb below his last winning mark. Blinkers replace cheekpieces but needs to show something like last season's form if he's to capitalise on it.
|
Good efforts when placed on 4 of last 5 starts, including when runner-up last twice, beaten 12 lengths by runaway winner Lady Bluebird in mares handicap at Tramore on latest. Step back down in trip unlikely to inconvenience her and must be considered. Wears first-time tongue strap.
|
Placed only once in an extended stint in bumpers and no impact in 3 maiden hurdles this summer. Should have more chance in handicaps but needs to step up markedly to feature here. Wears first-time cheekpieces.
|
No form on Flat and has made no impact in a trio of maiden hurdles.
|
Well beaten in a handful of starts over hurdles in 2025. Fitted with headgear on return from over a year off.
|
Maiden who showed some ability remains when beaten less than 8 lengths at Wexford in July. Not quite in same form on both outings since, though.
|
Best effort over hurdles when 9¾ lengths third of 11 to Ripsnorter in handicap at Downpatrick last month. Blinkers now replace cheekpieces and capable of being involved if taking another step forward.

Forecasts
Mercurial Sea (11/4), John Dixen (3/1), Pahlavi (11/2), Might Be The One (6/1), Doyen Og (6/1), Tropical Twist (11/1), Paymelater (16/1), Whispering Hopes (18/1), Two Can Plan (28/1), Glendaars Crystal (33/1), Lucky This Time (40/1), Greenroad Girl (50/1), Nelliestar (80/1)
MIGHT BE THE ONE has been knocking on the door of late and is worth chancing in first-time tongue tie. Tropical Twist is best judged on her Wexford win last month and rates the main danger, while John Dixen took a step forward last time and is also respected.
- Tropical Twist11/1
