Verdict: Runner-up on hurdling debut at Tipperary, FELICITY SMOAK(nap) holds the fourth-placed Kasper Hauser on that run, and should win.

Felicity Smoak

Jockey: J C Gainford Trainer: Paul Nolan Age/Wt: 3/10-7 F: 2

6/4

Comment: Flat maiden was runner-up on last start in that sphere in a Fairyhouse handicap; made a fine start to hurdling when a 1l runner-up at Tipperary; holds Kasper Hauser on that run and should take a bit of beating today.

Comment: Maiden after six Flat starts with best effort when runner-up over 1m4f at Roscommon; disappointing in cheekpieces next time; however, has to be respected on hurdles debut for a yard that has won the last two runnings of this race.

Comment: Tramore bumper winner in October and went close in follow-up bid nine days later; still involved when unseating late on hurdle bow in November; bumper return at Punchestown last month was a low-key effort but entitled to come on for that and has to be high on the shortlist.

General Hubble

Jockey: J W Kennedy Trainer: Gordon Elliott Age/Wt: 7/11-10 F: 4-650 OR: 96

14/1

Comment: Won twice in the space of four days over fences in November 2024; came on from return with a 3l defeat at Punchestown last month despite some errors; however, subsequent effort at Tipperary wasn't encouraging; 7lb above last winning mark.

Comment: Sole win came in a point and yet to hit the frame in six chase starts despite a couple of encouraging efforts including 18l fifth at Tipperary earlier this month; however, more required to defy this mark.

Comment: Veteran with two chase wins and was in good form after last year's Ballinrobe success in September, hitting the frame in three of his four subsequent chase runs; May's hurdle return run was likely needed and capable from this mark.

Comment: Veteran; gained fourth win over fences at Downpatrick last summer but lost his way since and shown nothing in two runs this year; now tried with blinkers.

Verdict: A bit keen on debut then a bit sluggish with a hood last time when she bumped into a smart sort, BEIR BUA can take this.

Beir Bua

Jockey: Mr A P Ryan Trainer: Andrew Slattery Age/Wt: 4/11-0 F: 24

5/4

Comment: Similar efforts in defeat in bumpers at Downpatrick and Cork, behind a smart looking newcomer on latter occasion; the hood worn then is left off today and she can be a player.

9/5

Comment: Posted identical RPRs in three bumper runs at Punchestown, Tramore and Roscommon over 2m; doesn't need a lot more to be a major player today.

Lemon Zest

Jockey: Mr H C Swan Trainer: John Joseph Murphy Age/Wt: 4/11-0 F: 4

7/2

Comment: Looked unbalanced and green on debut in a Tipperary 4yo bumper but made some late headway; needs to find a fair bit more but that is possible for a yard that targets this meeting.

25/1

Comment: Was runner-up in a Limerick bumper on second and final start for Willie Mullins almost three years ago; things haven't been straightforward since for her and she can only be watched with a hood and tongue-tie added for return.
