Verdict

METAMORPHEUS is weighted to reverse form with Malbay Madness and can double his hurdle tally. Hat-trick seeking Dontgowithjoe could be the fly in the ointment.

    Made it 3 wins from 4 since joining Gordon Elliott when making the most of a good opportunity at Roscommon last time and he's difficult to discount given his trajectory for new yard.

    Improving sort made it 2 wins from 4 starts when opening his hurdle account at the second attempt in a Downpatrick maiden. That form has taken a few knocks but he's open to further progress now sent handicapping.

    Verdict
    In excellent heart for current yard this year, winning a handicap on the level at Sligo before chasing home Malbay Madness on return to hurdles at Kilbeggan last time, and he's weighted to notch a second success in this sphere.

    Verdict
    Yet to be asked for his effort when unseating in this race 12 months ago, and having made it 3 wins from 4 starts at Kilbeggan with a career best performance on his latest start, he's fancied to go close with a clear round.

    Verdict
    Very much on the up when travelling smoothly to land a double at Bellewstown (17f) last August, deserving credit for overcoming a pace bias, and likely to make a bold bid for the hat-trick if returning from a 9-month break in similar form.

    Fairly useful type who ran respectably when fifth of 24 on return to hurdles at Punchestown (19f) last time and is weighted to be competitive on the best of her form.

    Went one better than at Fairyhouse when successful at Galway last October and while that race panned out well for him, he's still respected having made a winning return from a similar absence last year.

    Unsuited by emphasis on speed at Wexford last time and while the handicapper has given him a chance, this again may not be enough of a test.

    Had looked potentially interesting on the form of his Bellewstown maiden win in July 2024 but has finished well held both starts since an absence, shaping as though amiss on handicap debut at Punchestown last time.

    Verdict
    Having been backed at longish odds, he benefitted from a patient ride when landing a second course victory on his latest start. The pace-set up doesn't look ideal in bid to follow up off 4 lb higher but his record here (2-2) speaks for itself. Hooded first time. Engaged 14.00 here Saturday.
