Irish Stallion Farms will contribute €3.1 million towards Irish prize-money in 2025, bringing our total investment to over €63m since the foundation of the Irish EBF in 1983.
(Generously sponsored by the Irish EBF (€3,000))
A steeplechase for four years old and upwards that have not won a steeplechase that are EBF eligible
About 2 miles 6 furlongs 111 yards.
The Predictor is a ‘Computer Generated’ predicted outcome of the race in visual form, generated by an algorithm of key factors (including eg current form, ratings and going.)
Second-season novice O’MOORE PARK will be hard to beat if reproducing the form that saw him reach the money in a novice handicap at the Cheltenham festival. His stablemate My Great Mate appears vulnerable after two instances of beaten favouritism at this track. Oscars Brother has shown enough to suggest he can win a beginners’ chase but would get 9lb from the selection in a handicap. [Alan Sweetman] Source: Racing Post

With his advanced by a run at Gowran that qualified him for a handicap mark, FIERCE HANDAY may prove equal to this task. Probable dangers are Red Glory who improved with a tongue-tie fitted last time, and The Nagger Reidy, in good form when last seen in the spring.

The Predictor is a ‘Computer Generated’ predicted outcome of the race in visual form, generated by an algorithm of key factors (including eg current form, ratings and going.)
How’s Ellie is of clear interest as a Willie Mullins newcomer but CHURCHFIELD ANNIE and Susie Lenglen have the benefit of experience after promising debuts, in which they posted similar RPRs.
