Verdict

WONDERFUL EVERYDAY is progressing nicely over hurdles and carried that improvement into handicaps when third despite meeting trouble at Listowel last time, so she can do better again. Boo Radley deservedly got off the mark at Kilbeggan in September and looks the chief threat to his stablemate with further progress likely. Harpy Eagle is holding his form well and should be on the premises again, along with Avalo.

Runner-up in mares listed company in bumpers. Has progressed with each run to date over hurdles, shaping well when ½-length third of 18 to Fraher Field at Listowel last time. Open to further progress and very much one to consider.

Won 6-runner handicap hurdle at Wexford (2½m, good) in August and then backed that performance up when chasing home Midnight Eagle in a similar event at Sligo 11 days later and Kashchei in a 9-runner novice at Downpatrick last time. Should give another good account.

Walk In The Park gelding who took his form up another notch when winning extended 2½m conditionals maiden at Roscommon in July by 2¼ lengths from Frankie's Freebie. Disappointed on handicap debut last time, though, and first-time hood needs to have a positive effect.

Verdict
Punchestown maiden hurdle winner who belatedly got off the mark over fences at Wexford in the 2024/25 season and travelled better than most when fifth at Punchestown when last seen in May 2025. Returns from a 17-month absence and the market is likely to prove informative on her return to hurdles.

Opened his account in novice at Cork (17f) before a respectable fifth in conditions event at Wexford (17f) later in May. Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Killarney (23f, good) in July though so needs to bounce back to his best to feature.

Verdict
Course winner who ran up to best when second of 19 in handicap hurdle at Cork in April but was then let down by his jumping in 17f handicap back at this track next time. Should be suited by the step back up in trip and capable of being involved fully wound up after a near 6-month break.

Verdict
Not the easiest to catch right but he doubled his tally in 11-runner handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (2½m, good) in August by length from Avalo. Shaped as if still in good heart at Listowel last month and Jack Kennedy is an eye-catching booking for all his mark demands improvement.

Verdict
Useful hurdler who scored at Listowel and Leopardstown last season. Posted a good third of 24 in handicap at this course (23f) in April but got no further than the third on chasing debut next time and shaped as if amiss back over hurdles in August. Questions to answer.

Dual bumper winner who made a winning hurdling debut at Navan last season. Things didn't go to plan afterwards but shaped with a bit of encouragement when 16¼ lengths sixth to Beauvallon in novice hurdle at this course in April. Should be suited by the step up in trip but needs to resume progress.

Fair hurdler and ran to a similar level on second time of asking over fences when fourth of 6 in maiden at Kilbeggan (25f, good) in July. Ran poorly in first-time blinkers last time and now reverts to the smaller obstacles for handicap debut with that headgear discarded.

Made good start over hurdles last season, winning maiden at Naas and chasing home Bon Viveur in a Grade 3 Novice at Thurles. Came unstuck in handicaps on final 2 starts, though. Arrives on the back of a pipe-opener on the Flat but will need to take a step forward to be involved here.
