This Songisforyou (USA)

0%

Useful bumper and Flat winner, his last win coming in a 1m2f Curragh premier handicap in 2024; some fine efforts in defeat in strong company last year but disappointing on final start; made mistakes when disappointing on second hurdle start in 2023; the one to beat if his jumping holds up.

Care To Differ (IRE)

0%

Has become disappointing in points after finishing third on debut; cheekpieces on but best watched.

China Grill (IRE)

0%

Well beaten in two maiden hurdles including here last time and needs to find loads of improvement.

Holy Joe (IRE)

0%

Soundly beaten at Perth on debut; was making some headway from the rear when unseating at the second-last at Downpatrick two weks ago; mightn't be far away if none the worse for that mishap.

In The Trenches (GB)

0%

Maiden under all codes in 33 races including 14 over hurdles but placed lots of times; some good chase runs lately (not last time) and should go well if back to best hurdles form.

It's All Clear (IRE)

0%

Improved form in bumpers at Kilbeggan and here (2m) the last twice; tongue-tie goes on for hurdles debut and can be involved if his jumping holds up.

It's Time To Leave (GB)

0%

Jumping lacked fluency when well beaten in a 2m3f maiden hurdle here on recent debut; one to watch for now.

Market Ready (IRE)

0%

The best of five hurdle runs came when a 1l runner-up in a C&D handicap in April; not as good at Limerick since in more testing ground; can run well but has a bit to find with the best of these.

Quest With Copper (IRE)

0%

Second foal; dam placed in 2m/2m2f hurdles, out of unraced half-sister to winners Mephisto (smart 1m4f-1m6f Flat and 2m2f-2m7f hurdle) and Almaydan (1m6f/1m7f Flat and useful 2m-2m1f hurdle/chase); homebred is from the family of some decent sorts and could run well on debut.

Riverstown Boy (IRE)
