Form
The June 2023 dog is trained by Jennifer O’Donnell and, despite being lightly raced, has certainly left an impression on audiences more often than not when found on the track. Last week, he came half a length back of Ballymac Jester in 29.81.
Verdict
If he can come away a little better, he’s drawn for a big run on Saturday and could go close.

Clona Comet is priced at 8/1, suggesting an 11.1% chance of success in this race.

Form
The October 2022 dog is trained by Graham Kelly and has been in the money positions in 19/24 races on the track. Last weekend he qualified in third place to qualify but showed great early pace; but had he been left alone, he would’ve gone far quicker.
Verdict
Clona Comet is faster than most, but has a bit to find on the clocks to figure against the best in this race.

Form
Trained by Liam Dowling, the May 2023 dog has 3 wins from just 9 races and already has clocked 17.67 for a sprint and 28.20 for the 525-yard distance. Looked ideal for the step up in distance and showed that when he clocked 29.78 coming ½ a length behind Born Braver last weekend for his first spin over the distance.
Verdict
This dog has bundles of ability and at odds of 4/1, he is a solid each-way play in the betting ring.

The August 2023 dog is another impressive sort, though his best performance arguably came
in defeat, when clocking 29.09 in third place in the Derby Plate at Towcester. Last week, the powerful galloper came 3 lengths behind Hello Diego.
Verdict
Strong running, but needs to improve his trapping for this race if he’s to figure.

Form
The June 2023 bitch is the most lightly raced of all dogs in this final with just 6 to her name since debuting in Tralee last February. Last week, she qualified in third, being beaten 1.25 lengths by Ballymac Jester.
Verdict
Eye-catching improver, but I don’t think she has the experience to win this race, and I’d be avoiding at odds of 11/2.

The October 2022 dog trained by Paul Hennessy has already had a big win in his career when he won the 2025 Maidan Derby at Towcester. Showing strong staying ability early days, he was even put over the 750-yard trip at Shelbourne also. Last week he was impressive again, winning in 29.56 to come 3 lengths ahead of Ballymac Tibet.
Verdict
Set the standard last week and is a worthy favourite for this final.
