11-12
22/1 18/1 20/1
Landed a maiden hurdle earlier in the season but the form may have flattered her, and she was found wanting at Ballinrobe on her most recent start; effective at up to 2m2f on good and heavy ground and runs in first-time tongue-tie, though recent evidence raises doubts about her current level.
AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 11-12 on a Saturday Rating of just 72, combined with poor form (2U1-4P) and unfancied 22/1 odds, makes Bhean Saibhre a very risky bet.

Back to form at this course last time, doing best of those held up to finish third after a break in running; handles good and yielding at today's trip and expected to strip fitter for that outing — first-time hood on and rated here as a lively candidate from what looks a fair mark.
AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 11-12 with a Saturday Rating of 93 and inconsistent form of 2229-3 limits Cocovic's appeal at 13/2.

11-11
66/1 50/1 66/1
Form has been poor since his return from a lay-off, most recently well beaten at Kilbeggan, and there is little to suggest an immediate revival; first-time cheekpieces bring an element of the unknown and he handles this trip on a sound surface, but hard to recommend in his current state.
AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 68, 50/1 odds, and a form line of 6565-0 make Desert Cave an unconvincing contender carrying 11-11.

11/4 FCST 5/2
Flat-bred horse who has been progressing in hurdle handicaps, landing his most recent start by 5l at Clonmel off a mark 9lb lower on better ground; effective at today's distance on good to yielding and runs in first-time hood, with the rise back up the weights now the examination he faces.
AI verdict

Rated 102 with strong recent form (078-21) and fair 10/3 odds, but 11-9 weight limits upside to mid-tier appeal.

16/1 14/1 16/1
Won a hurdle earlier this season and was in good order before his most recent outing at Punchestown, which perhaps arrived a race too soon — he finished down the field; effective at this trip with cut in the ground and on what looks a fair mark, with first-time cheekpieces applied as connections seek to recapture his earlier form.
AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 83, poor form (20S-10), and 14/1 odds signal minimal winning prospects despite carrying 11-9.

Connections have a strong record in this contest, and The First Turn looks a likely type to step forward in handicap company; usually held up and fourth at Punchestown latest having shown he handles this trip on good ground, with the pulled-up effort on his previous start the main question mark.
AI verdict

Saturday Rating of 84, poor form (177P-4), and 9/1 odds suggest minimal winning claims carrying 11-9.

14/1 10/1 14/1
Last seen failing to complete at Kilbeggan in a race that appeared to come too soon after a previous engagement, but his chasing form suggests he could be well treated on his hurdle mark; effective over a wide range of trips on any going and simply needs to bounce back to his better level to be a major factor.
AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 84, poor form of 926-4P including a pull-up, and 12/1 odds signal minimal winning prospects under 11-8.

Fine form over both hurdles and fences prior to his lengthy absence, and second at Tipperary on his final run before the break, fading only in the closing stages over a longer trip; his hurdle mark looks lenient given his capabilities, but returning after 269 days off the course is the key unknown.
AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 11-6 off a modest Saturday Rating of 97 and starting at 7/1, Mickey Cohen's patchy form of 34312- justifies limited confidence.

Third at Downpatrick most recently, matching his established level in a consistent effort at this trip — he handles the distance and is generally reliable over hurdles; first-time blinkers are a new element and he has every right to be a serious rival here, with the three pulled-up runs in his more distant form the only doubt.
AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 11-5 with a form string of PPP-33 and rated just 80, Warm In Gorey's 10/1 odds reflect market skepticism.

Back after an absence of over a year, wearing first-time tongue-tie and visor; his best efforts came on a decent surface and his mark gives him a chance on paper if the ability has been preserved, but the lengthy layoff means everything must be proved anew before he can be backed with confidence.
AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 67, distant 33/1 odds, and a form sequence of 60920/ show this horse has no credible winning claims.

14/1 10/1 14/1
Fourth at Wexford on her most recent start after returning from a break, performing to her level but fading a little in the closing stages over today's trip; effective at 2.5m and could make more of an impact now she steps into handicap company, though she needs to find an extra gear to threaten the principals.
AI verdict

Rated just 80 with poor recent form (1750-4) and dismissed by the market at 12/1, Moonlight Paradise lacks the credentials to threaten here.

22/1 14/1 22/1
Held her form at Downpatrick last time, beaten 4l but lacking the extra pace when the race quickened; effective at around 2m on good ground and adds first-time cheekpieces, though the trainer's current tally of 0 from 29 in the past fortnight is a notable concern and she remains yet to score.
AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 76, weak form figures of /3-765, and 16/1 odds signal market and form doubts at 11-0.

A pattern of declining form since returning from a lay-off, most recently failing to complete at this venue; effective over the trip and first-time blinkers represent a change of approach, but he has been going in the wrong direction and needs a significant improvement in form to get involved.
AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 68, poor form figures of U/80-P, and 18/1 odds signal minimal winning prospects under 10-13.

Denied a chance to complete at this venue most recently after being carried out on ground that was on the soft side, though his earlier record offers little encouragement either; first-time tongue-tie represents a change of tack, but until he shows something more convincing he remains hard to support here.
AI verdict

Form figures of 060-0C and a Saturday Rating of 84 limit Friar Hogan's claims despite fair 9/2 market odds.

On a lengthy losing run but has shown renewed form over fences, and twice placed in recent starts; held at Tramore last time when perhaps ridden too prominently, and first-time blinkers may help him settle — effective at this trip and arguably lenient on earlier figures, though he remains yet to score.
AI verdict

Rated just 79 with inconsistent form (502-25) and dismissed at 12/1 by the market, Cullenwaine carries 10-0 without the profile to threaten.

Global Skies
Confidence: Medium

Global Skies (SR 102, 7/2) is the top-rated horse in the field by a clear margin and arrives in form having finished 2-1 in his last two starts, with the most recent run a win. Carrying 11-9 on Good ground over 2m4f suits a 5-year-old with improving profile under Ross O'Sullivan. The market has installed him as co-favourite, and his SR of 102 represents a meaningful edge over his closest rivals — Cocovic (SR 93) and Mickey Cohen (SR 97) — while he carries less weight than both Bhean Saibhre and Cocovic at 11-12. The form string 078-21 shows a horse who has found his level and is on an upward curve, with consecutive placed and winning efforts making this a credible follow-up. Each-way alternative: Mickey Cohen. Main danger: Cocovic — Cocovic (SR 93, 7/1) has a consistent form string of 2229-3 showing repeated placed efforts and the experience of an older 6-year-old who rarely runs badly, and at 11-12 he carries a weight burden but his consistency gives him a real place chance at minimum.
