Quest With Speed (G)
[B]
Inconsistent performer with mixed results, won a 20f handicap hurdle at Navan (40/1) 14 days ago when revitalised by positive tactics. All-or-nothing type who's up 7lbs and back up in trip but might respond well again to similar tactics.

From The Ashes (G)
[P]
Has shown fair to fairly useful form with three third-place finishes between May and October 2025. Shaped as if still in good form when sixth of 19 in a handicap hurdle at Navan (14/1) 14 days ago. The step back up in trip looks a positive…

Meehall (G)
[B1T]
Two third places before finishing seventh of 11 behind Kir in handicap hurdle at this C&D (6/1) 70 days ago. First-time blinkers could help concentration.

Duffys Getaway (G)
[PT]
Continues to underperform over fences with three consecutive poor efforts, including when pulled up at Navan (18/1) 14 days ago despite shaping better than result suggests. Switch back to hurdles could spark improvement.

Won at Limerick 70 days ago then third of 13 in handicap hurdle at Navan (5/1) 41 days ago, shaping as if worth another try at 20.2f. Back up in trip today which should suit.
