Verdict

DEMANDING GERRY has been knocking on the door for some time and is taken to gain deserved compensation for a string of near misses. Oh So Charming is well handicapped at present and rates a major threat if the race is run to suit, while Spanish John could also have a say if sharper for his recent outing on the Flat.

    Verdict
    Best effort for some time when 2¾ lengths second of 9 to Rich Belief in claiming hurdle at Wexford 18 days ago. On a good mark reverting to handicap company but given his need for a well-run race at this trip, the lack of a confirmed front runner is a concern.

    Verdict
    Turned in best effort since winning a conditionals maiden at Fairyhouse last season when ½ lengths third of 13 to Secret Rock in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan a fortnight ago. Slightly longer trip and stiff finish should suit based on that run, but not sure to be in same form.

    Verdict
    Runner-up 3 times in 2025/26, including twice at this course. Stepped up on reappearance when 5½ lengths fourth of 10 to Bruant at this track last time. Should give good account but other more persuasive for win purposes.

    Verdict
    Lightly-raced maiden who, in first-time cheekpieces, stepped up markedly on previous hurdling efforts when 1¾ lengths second of 13 to Secret Rock in handicap at Kilbeggan a fortnight ago. Likely to be involved if able to find further progress.
