The Clonmel Kid (G)
[P]
Maiden hurdler but struck at only the second time of asking over fences in 2½m Newcastle handicap last month. Last of 3 but still ran respectably in 23f Kelso Class 4 since and player back in a lower grade.

Katie's Melody (M)
FAV
Bumper winner who has placed 3 times over hurdles, including in 3m Chepstow handicap last month. Won her sole point at the start of her career and rates an interesting chase newcomer for Harry Derham.

Kells Priory (G)
[B]
Fair ex-Irish handicap hurdler for Louise Lyons. Promise for new yard when fourth of 10 in 3m Wincanton handicap in March but he failed to build on that when well-held fifth at Perth (3m again) last month. Not disgraced in a maiden in Irel…

Killybegs Jet Lady (M)
[TV]
Irish point winner. Yet to strike under Rules but produced her best effort when second of 13 over C&D (good) 27 days ago, with Dr Shirocco ¾ length behind in third. Player if in similar form.

Don Brocco (G)

Milan Milos (G)
[T]
Looked suited by a step up in trip when making a winning start to his chase career over 3¼m at Plumpton (good to soft) 44 days ago, although it was only a 4-runner race and he was helped by the jockey on the third riding a finish a circuit…

Dr Shirocco (G)
C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2024. 16/1, creditable third of 13 over C&D (good) 17 days ago, with the reopposing Killybegs Jet Lady ¾ length ahead in second. Thereabouts if in similar form.

West Lawn (M)
Both hurdles wins came here back in 2022. Long-standing maiden over fences, however, and could only manage a remote sixth over C&D 17 days ago. 9 lb out of the handicap.
