SR 87 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Seven-time AW winner in Britain for Michael Appleby; no success since 2024, and Flat mark has dropped to a lowly 42; jumped badly and pulled up on his hurdling debut at Punchestown two weeks ago.
Has failed to distinguish herself since the controversy generated by her rider's unseat at the last in this race; travelled powerfully into the straight then and was well in command; out of her depth in a Listed race at Killarney last time; previously only a moderate third at Tramore, but in front of Oh So Charming and Hasten Slowly, with War Correspondent pulled up.
SR 82 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .
Won a handicap hurdle at Thurles in March 2025; otherwise undistinguished form, including when tailed off in this race 12 months ago; should at least strip fitter as a result of a recent Flat run.
Sole win over hurdles came in a Clonmel handicap last June off 111; has slumped in the ratings and failed to exploit her reduced mark (97) when fifth at Clonmel 13 days ago; however, he is closely matched with Redwood Queen on running in a claimer at Tramore last month.

SR 100 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Twice third in bumpers; third on handicap hurdle debut at Punchestown (2m5f, soft to heavy) in January; beaten a lot farther by the same winner when mid-field in a festival handicap at the same venue; suited by drop in trip and better ground when winning a novice event at Cork early this month; more on his plate here.
Career highlights when winning back-to-back handicap hurdles at Gowran and Punchestown in November 2024; a long way below his best in a light 2025 campaign; no encouragement from two handicap runs this month.
SR 108 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

SR 73 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .
Maiden's best handicap effort came at Punchestown 11 days ago on better ground, making much of running in finishing fourth of 18 over 2m; bit more needed but could go well.
SR 65 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .
SR 74 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Mildly promising run in Cork handicap in October (good), never counted on recent return at Sligo; entitled to come on for that and Donoghue back on.
Bumper winner but 0-14 hurdling, joining current yard after C&D claiming fourth a year ago; didn't count on recent comeback run at Punchestown, entitled to come on for that.
Moderate maiden form and pulled up on handicap debut at Cork in November, his final start for Gordon Elliott; makes stable debut now.
Won at a modest level on AW in Britain; weak maiden hurdle form and always behind for his first handicap hurdle at Clonmel when pulled up; only a 4yo so time on his side.
SR 68 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .
Runner-up in handicaps at Downpatrick and Kilbeggan last summer and again over 2m4f at Clonmel in October; slightly lame when beaten favourite later same month at Punchestown but definite player if reproducing those earlier efforts on her return here.

SR 58 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
SR 71 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .
Third reserve; big odds and never involved in four maiden outings, bit more promising at Cork last time on good ground; market worth a check on handicap debut.
SR 66 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .
Three-time hurdle winner at 2m on decent ground but not since October 2024; no show on both recent outings but can't be ruled out down in grade here.
SR 70 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .
SR 67 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .
Still novicey in jumping when decent C&D second 11 days ago (good-to-yielding); this looks more competitive but still definite claims.
Point-to-point winner and placed in modest maiden hurdle at Tramore (2m5f, good) last summer; couple of spins over fences didn't work out and well held twice over hurdles of late; blinkers now added to tongue-tie.
AW winner went close at Wolverhampton 16 days ago; 0-4 hurdling in the space of as many weeks last summer but clearly in good heart and could go well.
Limerick handicap hurdle winner in October 2024 off 94; little of note in his form since then however, recent Punchestown run a bit more encouraging; more needed.

SR 65 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .
Standout run in handicaps came when second in 2m6f Ballinrobe contest last summer (good); absent since August and debuts for new yard off what appears an inadequate trip.
4yo filly never landed a blow on recent handicap debut at Sligo but did make late headway; tongue-tied now added and no surprise if she had more to offer here.

SR 65 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .
SR 62 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .
Third reserve; glimpse of ability on Cork bumper debut last year but nothing so far in maiden hurdles; market best guide entering handicap company.
SR 71 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .
Flat winner and second over hurdles in France; out of her depth in Grade 1s at huge prices in early 2025 and regressed alarmingly in three runs last season before leaving Willie Mullins; some encouragement can be taken from her recent second at Sligo on first start for Gordon Elliott; however, this appears to be a deeper race.
Half-brother to the top-class Altior and several other smart performers; tailed off over 3m in testing conditions at Limerick on debut; shorter trip (2m2f) and better ground failed to improve him at Sligo; however, only three days later, showed promise with a third placing at Kilbeggan.
A maiden in points; very poor form in four maiden hurdles.
SR 81 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .
Placed in four of his 14 starts over hurdles; well exposed now; unlikely to make the breakthrough in this company.

SR 76 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .
Poor bumper form but has shown more aptitude for hurdling; not beaten far in fifth at Killarney last time; can be fancied to uphold form with the more exposed Happy Me.

SR 90 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
SR 87 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Some merit in two runs at Clonmel; better ground brought about improvement when second to an odds-on chance at Cork; fair chance getting weight from older rivals.
SR 98 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
SR 112 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Cost 250,000GBP after 8l debut point win at Monksgrange last year; bumper form was ordinary; may have turned a corner when making a winning debut over hurdles in a 3m maiden at Punchestown a fortnight ago; blinkered for the first time.
SR 95 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Four-time AW winner whose hurdles win came in 2m Kilbeggan handicap nearly two years ago (good); recent Flat comeback run should have him fitter although unproven over this far.
SR 71 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Tailed off on handicap debut over 2m3f at Punchestown in January (heavy); first run on this sort of ground and cheekpieces added; big improvement required.
Finally off the mark at 19th attempt over hurdles when landing 3m Punchestown handicap a fortnight ago (good), making all in beating Ballinaboola Gold 1.5l (pair clear); 6lb rise for that and meets that rival on 3lb worse terms.
SR 64 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .
Maiden has been mixing hurdling and chasing, well-backed on a few occasions, including recent comeback at Downpatrick when tried tongue-tied, only tiring from the last when fair fourth (2m6f hurdle, good); tries a new trip.
Point-to-point winner showed signs of ability in bumpers but her maiden hurdle runs below that, most recently seemingly not getting home in 2m3f Cork mares' maiden last month; back up in trip here for handicap debut.
Didn't really land a blow on recent handicap debut over this trip at Cork; hard to see her making the improvement needed.
Breakthrough win when upped to 3m1f at Cork earlier this month with cheekpieces fitted, appreciating better ground when rallying late on after being headed by favourite; 6lb higher but conditions again to suit and could have more to offer.
Maiden took a nice step forward over this trip at Punchestown a fortnight ago, well clear of the remainder when outstayed by all-the-way winner Oogum Boogum (good); 3lb better off with that rival now so has her chance.
SR 76 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Point-to-point winner on this sort of ground but not too much of note so far hurdling, 30l off Oogum Boogum at Punchestown recently; plenty to find.
Hardly beaten a rival in four maidens, impossible to make a case for on handicap debut unless quicker ground brings improvement.
Both wins have been at shorter trips but has run well over 3m; back down to career-low mark now on recent modest efforts.
First reserve; Galway fourth over this trip last October (yielding) gives her claims but recent Punchestown fall (behind Oogum Boogum) not encouraging.
SR 66 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Third reserve; okay form at best in handicaps, lost action when pulled up at Punchestown last time.

Workforce gelding; dam point/2m5f hurdle winner, out of half-sister to bumper winning dam of useful 2m/2m4f hurdle/chase winner Cruising Katie; market best guide on debut.
Idaho mare; dam fourth in bumper, half-sister to Champion Hurdle winner Faugheen; tailed off on bumper debut at Punchestown a fortnight ago, can only be watched for now.
Order Of St George mare well held on debut (too keen) in Cork bumper a year ago for Pat Turley, reappearing for current yard early this month at Downpatrick when never sighted in first-time hood; probably best watched for now.
Half-sister to several French winner, notably high-class hurdler/chaser up to 3m4f Yala Enki; returned from lengthy absence to finish decent second in 2m6f Limerick mares' maiden hurdle in April (soft) and earlier this month chased all-the-way winner for much of the way in 2m2f Downpatrick mares bumper on good ground; return to 2m4f to suit and should go well.
SR 69 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .
Way To Paris an 11,000euros 3yo; second foal; dam, by Robin Des Champs, unraced half-sister to useful winners Not Many Left, Coverholder and Angus Milan; okay recent Clonmel debut run, good bit more required to feature here.
Hunter's Light gelding; E17,000 Y, E23,000 3yo; first foal; dam unraced half-sister to winners Manipura (German 1m Listed) and Lance Les Des (2m hurdle); promising recent debut in Cork 4yo maiden hurdle, staying on to dead-heat for fourth behind a smart sort (2m2f, good); noteworthy jockey booking now switched to bumper.

Kisuton Enki owns one of the strongest chamber scores in this field. The Balanced lens likes the blend of SR strength (62) and market confidence (87). The profile stays composed even after the chamber introduces race-day variance.
