Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Daniel King| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 114

2/1

Point recruit who has made a good start under Rules, placed in a bumper in May and on all 3 outings in maiden hurdles since, shaping very well fitted with a tongue tie when length second of 14 to Tell The Boys at Listowel last time. Sets the standard and looks sure to make a bold bid.

Form: 43-3232

20/1

Yeats gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to smart hurdler/chaser (stayed 21f) Don't Touch It and bumper winner/useful hurdler (stayed 2¾m) Lackaneen Leader. Winning pointer and shaped encouragingly when 22¼ lengths fifth of 16 to Barnahash Prince in bumper at Cork on debut.

If You Believe³⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G P Cromwell

11/4

Successful on sole outing in points. Shaped with plenty of encouragement in both a valuable bumper at Punchestown and maiden hurdle at Clonmel last season. Open to improvement.

Form: 10/4-

Ruled By The Sun¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Liam Quinlan| T: R Hackett

125/1

Best effort over hurdles when 23½ lengths fourth of 7 to Martymill in maiden at Cork 15 days ago. Will be of more interest in low-grade staying handicaps.

Form: 7-7P04

The Bosses Order^p⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-11| J: Richard Condon⁽⁵⁾| T: A D Leahy

50/1

Offered little in points but showed more than previously in first-time cheekpieces when 20¾ lengths sixth of 16 to Bunker Buster in maiden hurdle at Limerick 9 days ago.

Form: 56P-56

For My Lady³⁰⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Ross Sugrue⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Rothwell

50/1

€12,000 half-sister to a point winner. Dam, ran once over hurdles, half-sister to smart hurdle winner/chaser (stayed 25f) Apache Stronghold. Runner-up sole start in points (Dec 2025).

Give It A Crack³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead

3/1

Placed twice in points in 2025 and produced a promising first effort under Rules when 6 lengths third of 14 to Tell The Boys in maiden hurdle at Listowel. More to come.

Form: 23/3

Jury Time²²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Phillip Enright| T: S Curling

6/1

Point winner and placed on all 3 starts in Limerick bumpers, albeit her debut third remains by far the pick of her efforts. She shaped like a stayer throughout and is likely to need longer trips before fulfilling her potential over hurdles.

Form: 4/61323-

Missouri Snow²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Carl Millar⁽⁵⁾| T: N Slevin

7/1

Followed up her debut point win 4 months earlier in battling fashion in a 19f Sligo bumper in August, staying on well. Bettered that form when 15 lengths third of 10 to Sarahs Lawn in listed bumper at Gowran 22 days ago. Bred to be at least as effective over hurdles.

Form: 1-13

Naught But Nice^h1³⁰¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Anna McGuinness⁽⁷⁾| T: R Tyner

Forecasts

Coolishael (2/1), If You Believe (11/4), Give It A Crack (3/1), Jury Time (6/1), Missouri Snow (7/1), Ellis Redding (20/1), Fun Daddy (25/1), The Bosses Order (50/1), For My Lady (50/1), Ruled By The Sun (125/1), Naught But Nice (250/1)

COOLISHAEL shaped as though he would have gone closer with an earlier challenge when runner-up at Listowel last time and is selected to go one better, with If You Believe feared most if fit enough to build on last season’s promising Rules efforts. Give It A Crack is also of interest.
