Veteran who won over hurdles at Kilbeggan in April 2025 but largely struggled over fences last season. Didn't look ready to capitalise on his falling mark when fifth of 14 in handicap hurdle (50/1) at Limerick (19f, good to soft) 25 days ago.

Won a big-field Flat handicap at Curragh last autumn. Well held on his handicap hurdle debut in December but should have scope from this mark judged on Flat ability and arrives fit from that sphere.

Has shown little to be enthused about of late, both over hurdles and on the Flat. Now below last winning mark but still opposable in first-time blinkers.

Off the mark at Cork last season and unlucky to bump into an improver at Sligo next time. Her best work came when the first pair had gone clear when third of 14 in handicap hurdle (7/1) at Limerick (19f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Drop back in trip not certain to suit.

Free-going sort who gained a first success over hurdles at Ballinrobe (17f) in July and showed improved form when getting off the mark back on the level at Thurles last month. Undone by a hefty rise in the weights at the Curragh last time but he can give a good account back hurdling.

Little impact in bumpers/hurdles, most recently when fifth of 12 in novice hurdle (150/1) at Clonmel (17f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Appeals as one who should step forward now handicapping, though.

Long-standing maiden who stopped the slide having edged back down the weights when third of 13 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (2¼m, soft) 20 days ago. Remains on a handy mark if able to build on that.

Fallen down the weights and made more impact than he had done for a while when fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle (33/1) at Fairyhouse (2m, good) last month but failed by a long chalk to build on that promise when down the field at Cork 11 days ago.

Forecasts

Daisy Fingall (3/1), Max Meridius (7/2), Arctic Piper (5/1), Liceo (5/1), Grennanstown Lady (8/1), Jaadil (10/1), Pakens Rock (14/1), I Feel Fine (20/1), Dark Berkshire (20/1), Polly Poppins (25/1), Ddakji (25/1), Titanium (33/1), Big Dee (33/1), Duke Otto (50/1), Kidam Roque (50/1), Vairue (50/1), Ozark's Walk (50/1)

Verdict

This looks quite a shallow affair, so in-form LICEO makes most appeal on the back of several creditable efforts in defeat. Grennanstown Lady has upped her game of late and can make the placings again, whilst Daisy Fingall should do better now handicapping.
