Tomorrow, March 13, 2025HurdleClass 12m7f

Previous winners have an excellent record in this and last year's decisive victor TEAHUPOO looks the one to beat again having followed the same route (kept fresh for this). Home By The Lee was a good third last year and arrives in better form this time around, so rates the main threat. Lucky Place and The Wallpark are also respected given their rate of progress.

    Verdict
    High-class hurdler who landed this race in decisive fashion 12 months ago. Followed up with a fourth Grade 1 in Champion Stayers at Punchestown in May and lost little in defeat when second in Hatton's Grace on return. Likely to prove a tough nut to crack again (goes especially well fresh).

    Running in this for the third time, his best effort coming when third last year. Has looked as good as ever this season, winning a Grade 2 at Navan on comeback before following up in Grade 1 at Leopardstown over Christmas. Can make his presence felt once more.

    Progressive Irish hurdler who completed his 4-timer in 12-runner C&D handicap in October, Better form stepped up in class when fourth in the Long Walk at Ascot since, the slow early fractions counting against him. Still has more to offer so not taken lightly.

    Verdict
    Signed off last term with an excellent fourth of 21 to Langer Dan in the Coral Cup here and has continued on the upgrade this season, winning Grade 2s at Ascot and Relkeel Hurdle here (20f). Likely to stay so must be respected given his rate of progress.

    Verdict
    Became the first dual winner of the Coral Cup here 12 months ago before excellent placed efforts in Graded company. Hasn't fired in 3 starts this winter but this is the time of year he comes good. Doesn't have too much to find on best form and should stay this far.

    Verdict
    Lightly-raced winner over hurdles who proved there was absolutely no fluke about his Christmas Hurdle effort (third behind Home By The Lee) when winning Grade 2 at Gowran 7 weeks ago. Still not the finished article but suspicion is this sort of challenge is a year too soon for him.

    Verdict
    Most kept to hurdles since winning the Turners here 3 years ago, picking up a couple of Grade 2s last season, including here (20f). Runner-up both starts this term, though shaped as if this trip is a bit of a stretch for him when 6 lengths behind Home By The Lee in Christmas Hurdle at Leopardstown.

    Smart novice hurdler last season, runner-up in the Supreme here before going one better in Grade 1s at Aintree and Punchestown. However, most disappointing both starts this term and now has a bit to prove up markedly in trip.

    A regular around here and finally gained reward for his consistency when making all in the Cleeve Hurdle over C&D 7 weeks ago. Should run his race again but that would still leave him well short of what will be required.

    Likeable sort who appreciated the drop in class when winning at Hereford (handicap) and Windsor (class 2 conditions race) this winter. Gamely completed hat-trick in Grade 2 at Fontwell 18 days ago but struggled at this level last season. Also has stamina to prove.

    Made up into a smart hurdler last term, notably landing the Long Walk at Ascot. Disappointed in Grade 1s after (including this race) but back on track when again taking the Long Walk on his seasonal return. Failed to recover from a bad mistake in Cleeve Hurdle here since. Others stronger.

    Surpassed expectations when fourth in this last year and backed that up when second in Liverpool Hurdle. Struggled to match that form sent chasing this term and well held back hurdling latest (reportedly made a respiratory noise). Tongue strap re-fitted now but will do well to make the frame again.
