Act Of God

Age: 11
Weight: 11st 0lbs

Useful hurdler/fairly useful chaser at best. However, was no better than mid-division in 2 handicaps on the Flat in summer 2023 and ran poorly over hurdles when last seen under Rules for E. J. O'Grady well over 2 years ago. Second of 4 in a point 8 days ago.

Ndaawi

Age: 6
Weight: 11st 0lbs
Or: 90

Last year's Galway Hurdle winner who shaped well on the Flat after 3-month break when never-nearer third of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (1m) in February. Returned to winning ways over hurdles last time and he looks a strong contender back up in trip on the level.

Chain Of Destiny (Ire)

Age: 7
Weight: 11st 0lbs
Or: 51

His third in a Curragh maiden back in October 2022 remains very much a standout effort. After an absence of over 2 years, offered little making handicap debut over 17f at Killarney 19 days ago.

Sky Captain (Ire)

Age: 5
Weight: 11st 5lbs
Or: 92

Winner of a Roscommon maiden (1½m) on debut last summer and acquitted himself well when second in minor event at Galway (1¾m) next time. After 9 months off, beaten only by one who had race fitness on his side at Killarney 19 days ago. Not taken lightly.

12/05/26	Killarney	1m 6f 44y	Good	2/6	Flat

01/07/25	Roscommon	1m 4f 17y	Gd/Sft	1/12	Flat

Timeform Verdict

Smart over hurdles, NDAAWI ran his best race on the Flat when a close third at Dundalk in February and he is taken to follow up last month's hurdle success. Sky Captain could still have more to offer with his reappearance run behind him and is feared most, ahead of Quinta do Lago who is one to note making his debut in this sphere.

Betting Forecast

18/1 Act Of God, 200/1 Talking Tough (Ire), 8/1 The Mediator (Ire), 15/8 Ndaawi, 200/1 Chain Of Destiny (Ire), 6/4 Sky Captain (Ire)
