Verdict

Getting weight from all nine rivals, SPACE WARRIOR may be capable of winning a race of this standard. He has slumped in the ratings and is slightly preferred to Wolf Prince, a recent winner at Sligo, thus completing a hurdles hat-trick initiated in Britain in 2024. Dontgowithjoe now bids for a hat-trick after an absence of almost a year. [Alan Sweetman]

Ended his time with Fergal O'Brien with back-to-back hurdle wins at Taunton and Chepstow in March/April 2024; after a long absence, had two Flat runs (including a satisfactory display at this venue) before being sent back over hurdles at Sligo nine days ago; made all and has a good chance despite 5lb rise.

Has recorded three of his five hurdle starts at Cartmel; below his best there last time; overall Irish form is unconvincing.

2-14 over hurdles; returned from a long layoff with a decisive Flat win at Navan in March (1m6f, heavy); well beaten off this hurdles mark at Roscommon last month; capable of better, appears to be ground-versatile.

Returns from an 11-month layoff on a hat-trick after back-to-back victories at this venue and Bellewstown, both on good ground, last August; has gone up a total of 13lb; further progress is feasible.

Came back from a long layoff to start last season's campaign with back-to-back handicap wins at Navan (soft-to-heavy) and Leopardstown (yielding); beaten favourite in two novice hurdles in January; perhaps some doubt about how he will handle the ground.

No success since a juvenile maiden hurdle win at Fairyhouse in November 2024; has dropped a long way in the ratings from an opening mark of 111 to 94; should enter calculations based on a third placing at Clonmel in April.

Won a Tipperary maiden hurdle last year; pulled up in a chase at Wexford last month; had an excuse (badly hampered four out) when well beaten at last year's Galway festival on his only handicap hurdle outing.

Sole win for Ross O'Sullivan came in a Thurles maiden hurdle (2m, good) the season before last; weak handicap form last season; hard to make a case for him on stable debut.

Had shown little, Flat or hurdles, before running way above expectations (300-1) in a conditions hurdle at this venue in May; another fair run in a Downpatrick maiden hurdle; down the field in a Flat handicap at Limerick last time; new headgear combination.
