Rosslare Strand Hurdle

Three-time hurdles winner; failed to adapt to chasing in six starts last season, including in novice handicaps on his last three outings; best hurdles form at 2m-2m4f, though ran with credit when fourth in a strong 3m handicap at Aintree last year.

Won three consecutive races in February/March on heavy, two claiming hurdles and a handicap chase. reported blowing hard after being pulled up in a novice hurdle at this venue last month; back to form in first-time blinkers when winning a claiming hurdle at Clonmel 13 days ago; faces a stiff task at these weights.

Bumper winner over 2m3f; off the mark over hurdles over the same course and trip in March at the fourth attempt, winning by a handsome margin at short odds; unseated at the first on handicap debut at the Punchestown festival; hard to be sure if he is worthy of an official rating of 130 that gives him an excellent chance here in theory.

Cost 250,000GBP after 8l debut point win at Monksgrange last year; bumper form was ordinary; may have turned a corner when making a winning debut over hurdles in a 3m maiden at Punchestown a fortnight ago; blinkered for the first time.

Winner of two of her nine starts over fences since her last hurdles run almost two years ago; recorded her two hurdle wins back-to-back over 2m4f at this venue in April/May 2024; below best over fences since a fair run at last year's Galway festival.
