Verdict

UHAVEMEINSTITCHES was Grade 2-placed here during Christmas and her overall form reads well. Out of Irish National winner Bluesea Cracker, she won a course maiden hurdle in December 2024 and while she unseated her rider on her most recent start, she previously finished third to the brilliant Dinoblue and chased home The Big Westerner and Jade De Grugy prior to that. You Oughta Know has 2lb in hand at these weights, but his form is in-and-out and he prefers good ground. Dublin National runner-up Slotty Dotty has better recent form than four-time winner Ad Caelum.

Top Tip: Uhavemeinstitches (4)
Watch out for: You Oughta Know (1)

A pair look a long way clear of the rivals here in You Oughta Know and UHAVEMEINSTITCHES. The former has placed at this level this season and was running a big race in the Kerry National when coming down in the autumn. He has an experience edge on his main rival but is less open to improvement. James Motherway's mare is the selection having departed early last time when well fancied for a top handicap. Notably she swerved Cheltenham despite being short in the betting for the Kim Muir so connections clearly feel she is better than she has shown. She has already ran well here at Grade 2 level and is open to further improvement over staying trips.
