Verdict

TELL US THIS signed off his time with Gavin Cromwell with a win and can resume winning ways on his second start for a new yard with the drop back in trip in his favour. Wolf Prince could be very well treated back hurdling for the first time in over 2 years, whilst Dairy Force arrives in good form.

7	Capitalised on a drop in grade back over hurdles when comfortably winning a 7-runner claimer at Tramore (2m) on final start for Gavin Cromwell and ran at least as well in defeat over a trip perhaps further than optimal when third of 10 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (19f, good) last time. 1st Pick 7 Tell Us This (Ire) Jockey: M.

1	Won back-to-back handicap hurdles in spring 2024 prior to a 2-year absence. Looked rusty returning on the Flat for this yard in April but took a step back in the right direction when fifth at Ballinrobe last time. On a very handy mark if retaining ability in this sphere with cheekpieces on 1st time. 2nd Pick 1 Wolf Prince (Ire) Jockey: C. D. Smithers Trainer: Aidan Melia, Ireland J: C. D.

9	Runner-up at Downpatrick and Bellewstown in the spring. Quicky back to form when filling the same position in an 11-runner handicap hurdle at Limerick (2m, good) 10 days ago, having no chance with a wide-margin winner. Can make mistakes, though. 3rd Pick 9 Dairy Force (Ire) Jockey: K. C. Sexton Trainer: Gordon Elliott, Ireland J: K. C. Sexton T: Gordon Elliott, Ireland	96	-	-	-	10%
