Botanica International Rated Novice Hurdle

Fairly useful 5-y-o. Travelled well/confirmed previous promise when winning 15-runner maiden at Tramore (2m, good to soft) in late-May. Bit to find at the weights on return, though it's still relatively early days.

Had shaped with encouragement in a bumper/maiden hurdle prior to justifying support in good style at Sligo (2¼m) in May. There's further improvement to come on just his fourth career start, and he well may follow up with Mark Walsh aboard first time.

Zestful front runner. Back to form when third in a competitive-looking handicap at Fairyhouse in April. Better than the result when pulled up in a Tramore maiden later that month. Return of tongue strap could help and he goes well fresh/could get the run of the race.

Seemingly transformed by cheekpieces in recent starts. Matched the pick of his fair Flat form when landing a breakthrough hurdle success in a big-field Galway maiden (2m) last time. This demands a lot more again, though. Engaged 3.20 Galway Sunday.

Promising 5-y-o from excellent yard. Opened her account in a Wexford bumper in May. Fared better than previously over hurdles when 9-length second in Listowel maiden on return. Further improvement needed, however, that's not out of the question given her profile.

Fair sort. Had been running well in similar events prior to landing the odds in a Downpatrick maiden (17f) last time, his stamina kicking in late on back down in trip. Weighted to fall short in his bid to follow up, though.
