Apache Tribe (G)
FAV
Point recruit who looked promising in bumpers earlier in the season, finishing fifth at the Galway Festival before scoring easily at Listowel 8 weeks later. Should have a bright future over hurdles.

Mr O McGill | N C Kelly | 6 | 73.9 kg |

| 5th | 2 | — |
Dubhain (G)
Point winner who shaped with promise when third in bumpers at Down Royal (good to soft) and this venue (heavy) towards the end of 2025. Hurdle debut for yard also responsible for Green Angel.

B S Hughes | S R B Crawford | 6 | 73.9 kg |

Green Angel (G)
[T]
Made frame sole start in points last spring and made an encouraging start to his hurdling career when 9 lengths fourth of 10 at Down Royal (17f, soft) 46 days ago. Likely to improve and go well.

J J Slevin | S R B Crawford | 5 | 73.9 kg |

Hopeless Dancer (G)
Placed in bumpers and hurdles for the Twiston-Davies stable but his form over timber is no better than modest. Will need improvement if he's to strike on this first outing for a new yard.

Non Runner | T Reed | 5 | 73.9 kg |

Largy Meadow (G)
[HT]
Second in Ballinrobe bumper for Stuart Crawford last summer but too headstrong when beaten a long way in 2 hurdle outings over 2m for new stable last month. It remains to be seen whether this step up in trip helps.
|
Ben Smith | R M Smith | 6 | 73.9 kg |

| 8th | 6 | — |
Malayalam (G)
Point winner but no obvious short-term promise when seventh of 10 in 2m maiden at Kelso on hurdle debut over Christmas. Step up in trip should suit but yard still enduring quiet spell.
|
D R Fox | L Russell & M Scudamore | 6 | 73.9 kg |

| 2nd | 7 | — |
Nopresentliketime (G)
4/1, fifth off 9 in 2m Fairyhouse bumper last January. Absent since ahead of this switch to hurdles but represents a top stable and market confidence would look significant.
|
S Bowen | G Elliott | 6 | 73.9 kg |

7/2

| 7th | 8 | — |
Old Comrades (G)
£58,000 purchase after getting off the mark in Irish points at the fourth attempt last May but looks more of a longer-term project under Rules judged on his effort in a Kelso novice hurdle 6 weeks ago.
|
C O'Farrell | N W Alexander | 6 | 73.9 kg |

Return To Florida (G)
[P1]
Well held on his completed start in points. Offered something to work on when third in a Musselburgh bumper in December but always behind on Newcastle hurdle debut since. Cheekpieces are reached for after that.
|
Sean Quinlan | W Coltherd | 6 | 73.9 kg |

50/1
|
| 3rd | 10 | — |
Whathaveyou (G)
[T]
Remote fourth in a Perth bumper in spring 2024. Better effort in 2m course maiden hurdles since returning from a long absence when fifth of 13 last month but unlikely to be of real interest until handicapping.
|
Bruce Lynn | N W Alexander | 7 | 73.9 kg |

Strathcatcha (M)
