Charlie's Dilemma (G)

Sports first-time blinkers here but impossible to make a case for after series of poor recent efforts.

Illtakehimmyself (G)
FAV
[T]
Much improved form back under less testing conditions when a close second of 18 at Punchestown (3m) in May and finished clear of the remainder when 2¼ lengths second of 18 to Le Fanu in handicap hurdle (16/5) at Listowel (2½m, good to soft…

Any Chance (G)
Making third start in maiden hurdles, took a step forward when fifth of 12 here in March, though seemingly in spite of the drop to 2m. Failed to improve sent handicapping around that trip at Wexford last time but this significantly longer …

Stretchemout (M)
[T]
Won 21f maiden chase at Sligo at the beginning of October but has found life harder in 3 handicaps around 3m since, last seen at Ayr in November. Reverts to hurdling having since moved yards (left Gordon Elliott).

Sallap (M)
Had the fitting of a tongue tie as a potential catalyst when off the mark at Clonmel (22.4f) in October and came on considerably for her return when doubling her tally at that same C&D 4 weeks ago, responding well from rear. 7 lb rise leav…

She'll Be Kept (M)
Inconsistent maiden for previous yards and shaped as if needing the outing back under Rules on her stable debut here last month. Well treated on the pick of her form but has a bit to prove at present.

Le Fanu (G)
Finally shed his maiden tag in an 18-runner handicap at Listowel (2½m) 33 days ago, showing a fine attitude to fend off the challenge of Illtakehimmyself. Shortlisted again but will need to find more from 5 lb higher mark.

Ocean Murphy (G)
[P1]
No impact in maidens around 2m but was much improved sent handicapping over a longer trip when fourth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (2¾m, soft) 95 days ago. Frame claims again with cheekpieces on first time.

Stumblin In (M)
[T1]
Has been more miss than hit since winning over an extended 21f at Tramore last spring but has fallen to a handy mark and very much caught the eye with a fast-finishing sixth of 16 at Clonmel (19f, good) 4 weeks ago. Longer trip is bound to…

Friends Of Barry (G)
[P]
Much improved sent handicapping in first-time cheekpieces when second of 16 at Tramore (2¾m, good) 34 days ago and he'll hold solid claims again if arriving here in the same form.

Whatafoolbelieves (G)

Little show in points or under Rules. First-time cheekpieces need to have a transformative effect.

U Asking Me (G)

Clonmel handicap hurdle winner who got back on track over fences when third of 7 at Wexford last summer. Well beaten both recent outings since returning from an 11-month break, though.

Can't Catch Molly (M)
Yet to make a real impact, though wasn't seen to maximum effect under an inefficient ride when sixth of 13 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at this course (19f, heavy) 77 days ago. Still has something to prove.

Liss Eile (M)

Belatedly matched the form of her hurdling debut when fourth of 15 at Tramore in May but drastically failed to back that up when down the field at Clonmel a week later. Significantly up in trip.

Fair maiden on the Flat for Ger Lyons but little in the way of promise thus far in this sphere. Makes handicap debut in first-time blinkers.

Mollys Dolly (M)
Poor maiden who was a respectable 9¼ lengths sixth of 18 to Le Fanu in handicap hurdle at Listowel (2½m, good to soft) 33 days ago but it's hard to see her making a more signficant impact this time.

Tennesse Boy (G)

Runner-up in a Sligo handicap chase in October but well beaten at Thurles later that month. Pulled up in a point towards the end of May and he's opposable switched to hurdling for return to Rules action.

Smallcraftwarning (G)

Enjoyed a fruitful 2025/26 campaign but seemingly just going through the motions this summer and others make greater appeal despite him having dropped back to a handy mark. RESERVE.
