Wexford Claiming Hurdle

Decent form over fences last autumn, including third in a Punchestown Grade 3 novice; pulled up in a race of this type over hurdles at Tramore last month; better when fourth off his higher chase mark at this venue on latest; hard to win with.

Two of her three wins over hurdles have come at Tramore; however, she was a long way below her best in a similar race to this at that course last month; that run was prefaced by weak form at Dundalk during the winter.

Best hurdles form was in 2022, and he has done most of his racing on the Flat in recent years; second at Clonmel last September has been the only bright spot since a 2024 Chester win; no merit in his recent Navan run; may struggle to run up to an official rating of 117.

Weak form in maiden hurdles; pulled up at Limerick last time and a beaten favourite at Naas before that; hard to fancy unless better ground makes a radical difference.

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.
