13/2 15/2 13/2

Talented mare has finished out of the first three just twice in six starts over hurdles; won a Grade 3 at Punchestown in February (2m4f, soft); pulled up in Fairyhouse Grade 2 latest; best form on soft ground so rain would boost claims.

AI verdict

SR 114 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Top-rated here at 138; won Grade 1 at Aintree in April 2025, her last start on ground with good in the description; below best in hot handicaps this year but better expected now back on a sounder surface; giving weight away to most of her rivals but the one to beat.

AI verdict

SR 139 backed by market confidence at 7/2 — a genuine contender.

7/2

Unbeaten from two starts since joining this yard; well-backed to win a Kilbeggan handicap in April (2m1f, good to yielding) and followed up with today's rider aboard at Clonmel next time; made to work harder to win last time and is up another 7lb, but this step up in trip could unlock a bit more.

AI verdict

SR 111 backed by market confidence at 7/2 — a genuine contender.

Dual Flat winner's sole success over hurdles came at the Cheltenham November meeting in 2024 when successful off 7lb lower (2m5f, good); beaten 31l in a quality Aintree handicap in April (2m1f, good to soft) when last seen over obstacles; run on the Flat at Chester wasn't too encouraging either.

Limerick maiden hurdle winner this time last year (2m1f, good); travelling smoothly and looked likely to be involved in the finish when sprawling and unseating at the second last at Limerick last time off this mark (2m4f, good to yielding); lightly raced and dangerous if repeating; good third in the Lartigue (2m, good to yielding) in other run at this track.

Progressed really well in the early part of last season, rising 30lb in the ratings, stemming from three wins and two seconds; probably too high in the ratings now; unsuited by race conditions at Killarney when tailed off last time; others more likely.

Good ground Thurles maiden hurdle winner who has been placed off this mark; ran a decent race faced with an unrealistic task at Cork on stable debut and another positive effort at Killarney when fifth back in handicap company (4.25l behind Falco Blitz); blinkers go on and he's lightly-raced for his age.

Killarney maiden hurdle winner (2m4f, yielding) last season, beating Big Dispute by 0.75l; cruised easily to the lead before emptying late on at Leopardstown (2m5f, good to yielding) when last seen over Christmas; that performance suggests a win off this mark is within reach but may improve for this return.

Favourable weight of 10-10 gives a real edge in this handicap.

His three hurdle wins came at Fairyhouse on good ground at 2m4f-3m but nothing since late 2024; some cracking runs in defeat though, including when third off this mark at Cork (3m, yielding); challenging for the lead when unseated at the third last at Wexford last time; down to an attractive mark.
