Lodge At Ashford Castle Handicap Hurdle

Leopardstown handicap winner in March 2024 (3m, soft to heavy); luckless spell chasing of late, pulled up when last seen in Fairyhouse handicap in February; stable 2-5 at the track last season and had two runners run really well at Aintree, so worth a market check.

No comments available for this runner.

Maiden winner over 2m5f on good; best effort over fences when second in 2m5f Roscommon beginners' event last June but struggled in that sphere since; first run for Gordon Elliott; any market support could be significant.

Bolted up by 22l in 14-runner Limerick handicap (2m5f, heavy) in February off 94 but failed to back that up off revised mark when pulled up at Fairyhouse; front-runner should be suited to this course.

Off the mark on second handicap attempt, coming home well to assert from the last at Gowran (2m4f, heavy) last month; couldn't get going on slightly better ground when seventh of 20 at Fairyhouse 12 days ago (6-1 favourite); step up in trip will suit and every drop of rain will enhance his chance.
