7/1 |
City Of Diamonds
Runner-up on Irish point debut in March 2024; shaped with more promise than finishing position suggests when seventh of eight in good-ground Newcastle bumper in October but still needs significant improvement on this hurdling debut.

Garswood Gold
Flat-bred 6yo; struggled when a big-priced outsider for slow-ground Leopardstown bumper in December 2023 and not seen again since; had wind op in January; can only be watched on stable/hurdle debut.

Ilostasock
Did not show enough in his three bumpers last season to warrant serious consideration on this hurdling debut.

Old Bridge
Made quite promising start to hurdling career for Gordon Elliott last month, placed in maidens at Bellewstown (2m1f, good) and Kilbeggan (2m, yielding); recently changed hands for £20,000 and may not need any improvement to make a winning stable debut.

Blackwater Lilly
Runner-up in two good-ground bumpers last year and placed on all three hurdling starts, most recently when third of 12 at Hexham (2m, good) last month; likely to be right in the thick of things again here; sports first-time cheekpieces.

Joined Donald McCain after winning Irish point debut in January (yielding ground); well beaten after racing too freely in Uttoxeter bumper on rules debut in March; hooded for today's hurdling debut.
