Loch Cuan (Ire)

Age: 5
Weight: 11st 9lbs
Or: -

Soundly beaten in a Down Royal bumper on Boxing Day but hasn't looked back since switching to hurdles, runner-up in maidens at Navan (2m, heavy) and Downpatrick (2¾m, good) prior to opening account in 10-runner novice over C&D. Open to further improvement and much respected under a penalty.

Tribal Moon (Ire)

Age: 5
Weight: 11st 2lbs
Or: -

Fairly useful Flat winner who shaped better than first time up over hurdles when seventh of 12 in maiden at Downpatrick (2¾m, good to firm) 12 days ago. Flat form provides hope for better still and he must enter calculations.

Drumconnor Hill (Ire)

Age: 5
Weight: 11st 2lbs
Or: -

Runner-up on his completed start in points and showed more than first time up over hurdles when fourth of 15 in 2m maiden at Ballinrobe last month, running on. Longer trip promises to suit and could well be involved at the business end.

Date	Course	Distance	Going	Pos	Type
26/05/26	Ballinrobe	2m 13y	Gd/Sft	4/15	Hurdle
11/05/26	Killarney	2m 4f 50y	Gd/Sft	8/12	Hurdle

God Help Me (Fr)

Age: 7
Weight: 11st 2lbs
Or: -

Offered something to work on when fourth of 18 at Navan (2m) on hurdling debut in March 2025. Well held both starts since however, including back in this sphere on first outing for current yard at aforementioned track in September.

Date	Course	Distance	Going	Pos	Type
20/09/25	Navan	1m 7f 165y	Gd/Sft	12/16	Hurdle
02/05/25	Punchestown	2m 2f 181y	Gd/Sft	9/22	Bumper

Manhatane (Fr)

Age: 4
Weight: 10st 3lbs
Or: -

€6,500 3-y-o, Bathyrhon filly. Dam, lightly raced over hurdles in France, half-sister to smart hurdler/top-class chaser (stayed 25f) Fastorslow out of French hurdler/chaser (winner up to 19f) Popova. Unpromising in points but has joined a yard that does very well at this track.

Dream Racer (Ire)

Age: 4
Weight: 10st 3lbs
Or: -

£6,000 4-y-o, Affinisea filly. Dam, lightly raced over hurdles, half-sister to smart hurdler/fairly useful chase winner (stayed 3m) Jennies Jewel out of useful 2m-2¾m hurdle winner Fishin Joella. Third sole start in Irish points (May 10) and can't be dismissed on Rules debut.

Timeform Verdict

LOCH CUAN is progressing well over hurdles and is taken to defy a penalty, perhaps at the expense of Tribal Moon, whose Flat form provides hope for better still in this sphere. Drumconnor Hill promises to be suited by the step up in trip and shouldn't be taken lightly, either.

Betting Forecast

7/4 Loch Cuan (Ire), 5/2 Tribal Moon (Ire), 11/2 Drumconnor Hill (Ire), 10/1 God Help Me (Fr), 16/1 Manhatane (Fr), 10/1 Dream Racer (Ire)
