Lips Freedom
LIPS FREEDOM looked more like his old self when winning at Downpatrick last time and, although the handicapper has reacted, there should still be more to come from him now that he is up and running over hurdles. Corkbeg hasn’t won for 3 years, but he is well treated and has gone well fresh, so he must be considered a threat. Katakana is also capable of getting involved if bringing her A-game on her return.

Lightly raced gelding who proved better than ever on debut for current yard when winning 13-runner handicap at Kilbeggan last time by 1¾ lengths from Walk Win. That form hasn't worked out, though, so a good deal more to do from a 7 lb higher mark.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKilbeggan1m 7f 150yGood to Yielding (Good in places)Hurdle1/13Dundalk1mStandardFlat10/14Bellewstown1m 4f 77ySoftFlat6/10Down Royal1m 3f 10yYielding (Good to Yielding in places)Flat3/14Cork2m 1f 20yGood (Good to Yielding in places)Hurdle5/9- 5Lips FreedomJ: Donagh MeylerT: Andrew Kinirons, Ireland/00001-Age 67/2

One-time useful Flat performer who left previous hurdling efforts well behind in a first-time tongue strap when winning a 10-runner handicap at Downpatrick in March by 2¾ lengths from Dairy Force. Up 11 lb but the form has worked out quite well and he's clearly open to further progress.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosDownpatrick2m 1f 165yYielding to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle1/10Down Royal2m 1f 33ySoftHurdle11/16Leopardstown2m 4f 150yGood to YieldingHurdle13/23Naas2mSoft to HeavyHurdle11/16Down Royal2m 190yYielding (Good to Yielding in places )Hurdle12/15- 7KatakanaJ: D.

Showed improved form when readily landing 18-runner handicap hurdle at Thurles last season. Failed to back that up on heavy ground on final start of that campaign. Has gone well fresh for past connections and current yard is enjoying a fruitful time of things at present.

Won 2 handicap hurdles in late-2024/25 and retains most of that ability judged on his second in a handicap chase at Roscommon in June.

Left previous efforts behind when winning 14-runner handicap Wexford in May, having benefit of enterprising ride and beating Demanding Gerry by 4 lengths.

On a lengthy losing run but posted several creditable placed efforts in handicaps last summer, including when runner-up at this course. Has gone well fresh in the past and must be respected now that he finds himself 2 lb below his last winning mark.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCork2m 2f 140yGood (Good to Yielding in places)Hurdle9/17Listowel2m 6fGood to Yielding (Yielding in places)Hurdle10/16Wexford2m 4f 100yGood (Good to Yielding in places)Hurdle2/14Wexford3mGood to YieldingHurdle3/14Killarney2m 4f 85yYielding to SoftHurdle2/13- 9Home By The SeaJ: R.

Best effort in maiden hurdles when 5¾ lengths fourth of 14 to Like An Ocean at Roscommon 10 days ago. That performance hasn't gone unnoticed by the handicapper, though, and he'll need to step up significantly if he's to make an impact on handicap bow.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosRoscommon1m 7f 204yGoodHurdle4/14Clonmel2mSoft (Soft to Heavy in places)Hurdle12/16Fairyhouse2mSoft to Heavy (Heavy in places)Hurdle11/15Fairyhouse2mYieldingBumper5/5- 11RattledelatchJ: J.

Showed more than previously in bumper and maiden hurdles when sixth of 24 to Lizzie Twigg in latter event at Punchestown in June.

Acquitted herself well in maidens last year and hinted at a revival when sixth of 14 in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Kilbeggan (2m, good to soft) in April. Ran poorly with tongue strap back on last time, though, and has a bit to prove at present.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosBallinrobe2m 13yGood (Good to Yielding in places)Hurdle9/9Kilbeggan2m 110yGood to Yielding (Good in places)Hurdle6/14Fairyhouse2mYielding to SoftHurdle14/21Kilbeggan2mGood to YieldingHurdle3/13Cork2m 1f 20yGood (Good to Yielding in places)Hurdle2/17- 13Midnight EagleJ: Phillip EnrightT: Andrew McNamara, Ireland9000-30Age 614/114/112/1

Sligo maiden hurdle winner early last season and turned in best effort since when 7½ lengths sixth of 10 to Malbay Madness at Downpatrick last month.

In frame first 2 starts in bumpers but has been brought along much more steadily over hurdles. Very much the type to do better in handicaps, but his pedigree suggests that he's likely to be suited by longer trips and/or a stiffer test than this handicap bow is likely to provide.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSligo2m 1f 157yYielding (Good to Yielding in places)Hurdle10/16Listowel2m 100yGood (Good to Yielding in places)Hurdle9/17Killarney2m 4f 50yGood to YieldingHurdleur/8Bellewstown2m 1f 30yYielding (Good to Yielding in places)Bumper9/15Thurles1m 7f 150yGood (Good to Yielding in places)Bumper3/10- 2ClaudeJ: A.
