Denis Macauley Memorial Handicap Hurdle

Placed in four of her eight bumper starts; ordinary maiden hurdle form but left that behind when keeping on well for second at Sligo in her first handicap over extender 2m1f; headgear combination tried that day left on; chance but soft ground a concern.

0-7 over hurdles but has one win from 14 starts chasing and he has been concentrating his efforts in that department since 2023; best of his efforts this year was a 0.5l second at Down Royal in January (3m, good to yielding); runs since have been underwhelming.

0-19 under rules with some placed form over hurdles; returned from some poor chase runs with a decent eighth at Galway last time back over smaller obstacles (2m6f, good to yielding); made smooth headway that day before effort petered out; needs more.

Maiden who's two best runs have come at Down Royal, including last time when a 2.5l second (3m, good to firm); he had Georgia Celena 1.25l behind him that day but may struggle away from his favourite track and on softer ground.

Best of three maiden hurdle runs was a 13.5l seventh of 18 at Gowran last year (2m, good); returned from a 314-day break to make her handicap/stable debut here last month when keeping on late for an 18.5l fourth (2m2f, yielding); entitled to improve for that run and the extra distance can bring further improvement; interesting, place chance.
