How's Hannah (M)
FAV
Successful on second outing in points and highly promising start to her Rules career when a wide-margin winner of 13-runner bumper here (9/4) 37 days ago. Exciting recruit to hurdling for her leading yard.

Ballinaboola Hanna (M)
Never involved in a Thurles bumper on debut and again showed little when seventh of 13 at this venue (200/1) 37 days ago. Likely to need more time as she starts off over hurdles.

Forever And A Day (M)
Making a belated debut, never landed a blow when seventh of 16 in maiden hurdle at this course (19f, 250/1) 23 days ago. Looks to be up against it.

Arctic Cosmos mare. €25,000 5-y-o. Half-sister to 2 winners, including fair hurdler I'm On My Way (2½m-3m winner). Dam, unraced out of fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser (2m winner) Delayed. Off mark in points at fourth attempt (Nov 2025) s…

Lucy Jordan (M)
Placed in points but well-beaten seventh of 12 in maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse (20f, 100/1) on Rules debut last month. Looks one for further down the line.

The Jam Lady (M)
Bit of promise making her first start when sixth of 15 in maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse (80/1) 15 days ago, though without landing a blow. Plenty more required in this contest.

Torpille Dagrostis (M)
[P]
Beaten-favourite 3 times in bumpers this season, but in first-time cheekpieces she shaped with promise sent hurdling when second of 16 in maiden at this course (19f, 9/1) 23 days ago, clear of the rest. Respected.
