Michael O'Murchadha Handicap Hurdle

Good Flat horse and he won a Galway maiden hurdle in 2024; got competitive some way out when a respectable third at Punchestown last time (heavy); now tackles his first handicap over jumps and firmly in the mix.

Bought for 40,000euros after winnning a French hurdle on very soft in October 2024; absent since but he's an unexposed handicap debutant from a top yard and interesting to gauge any levels of confidence behind him.

Should be on a fair mark and there was a return to form over fences at Sandown on his penultimate start (3m); however, he's back hurdling over what looks an inadequate trip.

Has won three of her last seven races, the latest a small-field novice at Naas; faced a tough task last time at Leopardstown but perhaps a shade high in the weights now (latest handicap victory was off 93).
