What Path

11st 7lb

J: Mr J Dunne

T: Ian O’Connor

Useful 3m hurdler for Willie Mullins before fruitless spell over fences in Britain; seems to have been revitalised by point-to-points, winning three in the spring; in contention when slipping up in banks race at Punchestown; chased home Solitary Man at Killarney and 3lb better off here.

J: Mr R Sugrue

T: Ian O’Connor

Useful hurdler for Willie Mullins; in good form in points prior to slipping up late on at Punchestown when he was keeping on; still up against it with some of these.

What Path

11st 7lb

J: Mr R Sugrue

T: Ian O’Connor

Decent novice hurdler for Willie Mullins (suited by a sound surface) but still a maiden chaser; however, comes here on the back of three point-to-point wins for Michael Mangan, having earlier chased home Fountain House over the banks at Lingstown; not one to rule out on return to the track.

J: Leigh Roche

T: Ian O’Connor

Two-time winner, including at this venue, but last win was in 2022; not too bad back from a 489-day break at Gowran but no show in three runs since, including over 1m here last time.

J: Calum Hogan

T: Ian O’Connor

Bumper winner; fourth at Fairyhouse last February was slightly encouraging; overall hurdles form has been disappointing; no chasing experience.
