Comment: Got off the mark on the fourth attempt last time in a mares' maiden hurdle at Clonmel; the ground could be key to her chances as her best form has come on good; her win last time was coming after a break so she is entitled to improve again.

Comment: Ballinrobe bumper winner last July; won a Naas maiden hurdle easily at the first attempt in April; let down by jumping on stable debut when finishing last in a Cork rated novice (2m1f, good); improved jumping display when a good third in a rated hurdle at Wexford last time; he won't be far away.

Comment: Some solid placed finishes in handicap chases this year but is a 20-race maiden; raised 9lb for .5L second of 16 in a handicap at Wexford but well beaten last time at Bangor (2m4f, soft); he appears to appreciate good ground but more is needed

Comment: Likely needs softer ground to be at his best; sole win came on heavy ground over hurdles at this track in January last year; took a tired fall last time at Wexford over fences (2m3f, yielding); runs off the same mark here and unlikely to get his ground.

Comment: Has stepped up on his point-to-point form with his two runs over hurdles; outran his odds at Down Royal when finishing fourth of 15 at odds of 125-1 (2m1f, good); was keeping on last time at Fairyhouse when he possibly could have snatched second place (2m4f, yielding); drop back in trip here is probably not ideal.

Comment: Good effort on debut in a soft ground 2m4f Fairyhouse maiden hurdle where he finished fourth of 24 and behind some promising types; disappointing last time at Kilbeggan in a bumper where he finished 31L behind the winner; if he can return to form of debut then he has a chance.

Comment: Bumper winner scored his sole hurdle win over 2m4f in a handicap here in 2023; pulled-up on his recent return and others make more appeal.

Comment: Best maiden runs came over this trip the last twice; doesn't look particularly well-treated but has to be considered on handicap bow; check the market; hood added.

Davy Crockett

Jockey: Mr P W Mullins Trainer: W P Mullins Age/Wt: 4/11-5

1/2

Comment: Third foal; half-brother to smart bumper/2m hurdle winner Mystical Power; dam unbeaten bumper and top-class 2m-2m4f hurdler (inc Champion Hurdle); by a leading Flat sire who gets jumps winners out of the brilliant Annie Power; obvious appeal on debut and the market can reveal expectations.

Jules Winfield

Jockey: Mr B M Coonan Trainer: A J Martin Age/Wt: 4/11-12 F: 1-2

11/2

Comment: Flat-bred won a Ballinrobe bumper on debut by 6l and was just denied in a Haydock winners' event since; no easy task carrying a 7lb penalty again but still has to be respected.

Maskarvel

Jockey: Mr Alan O'Sullivan Trainer: David Harry Kelly Age/Wt: 4/11-5

9/1

Comment: Fifth foal; dam pulled up in French 2m1f hurdle only start, half-sister to French winners Cosavita (1m7f/2m hurdle) and Lionata (11.5f); cost E24,000 as a 3yo and is by a useful sire so is worth a market check on debut.

Our Sonny

Jockey: Mr A P Ryan Trainer: Thomas Mullins Age/Wt: 4/11-5 F: 6-

9/1

Comment: Related to plenty of winners; ran a solid race in a C&D bumper at the festival when hampered in the straight; was about 5l in front of I'm A Rocket Man who was more seriously impeded then; there shouldn't be much between them with improvement to come.

Comment: Fourth foal; brother to Italian 1m/9.5f winner Blue Golan; dam unplaced 7.5f-1m2f in France, half-sister to US 1m/1m1f Grade 2 winner Whatsthescript; unsold for E4,500 as a 3yo; top rider booked so is worth a market look.

Comment: First foal; dam unraced half-sister to top-class 2m-3m hurdle/chase winner Faugheen (inc Champion Hurdle) and to dam of smart 2m-2m4f hurdle/chase winner Blow Your Wad; by the champion sire and related to the brilliant Faugheen; top rider aboard for debut; needs a close market look.
