1st (1) (2/9 +45%) Mollys Mango |
2/9(+45%) | (1) Mollys Mango 2/9, Bumper winner who made a successful start to her hurdle career in 15-runner 2m maiden at Thurles in November. Disappointed at Wexford since but this looks an ideal opportunity to bounce straight back. Snug maiden winner on hurdling debut at Thurles and wasn't right when pulled up last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (15/2 -88%) Littlebiggie |
15/2(-88%) | (5) Littlebiggie 15/2, Point winner. Second in a bumper on Rules debut. Shaped as if better for the experience when sixth of 9 in maiden at Punchestown (19.2f, heavy) on hurdles bow 20 days ago. Hooded for 1st time. Might be the one to follow Mollys Mango home. Led before fading out of contention against geldings over 2m3f; hood might help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (28/1 -211%) Justmadeit |
28/1(-211%) | (4) Justmadeit 28/1, Little form in points but showed a bit when fifth of 8 in bumper (22/1) at Limerick (16f, heavy) on NH debut 41 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Homebred from a decent family was fair fifth in Limerick bumper on rules debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (100/1 -400%) Getaway Erin |
100/1(-400%) | (2) Getaway Erin 100/1, 150/1, tenth of 16 in maiden hurdle at Naas (19f, soft) on NH debut 18 days ago. Huge price for her first outing when beaten 29l in pre-Christmas maiden at Naas. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (11/2 +45%) Jazzie De Chaillac |
11/2(+45%) | (3) Jazzie De Chaillac 11/2, Twice-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, fifth of 8 in maiden hurdle (20/1) at this course (23.2f, heavy) 16 days ago. Down in trip. Front-runner ended up well beaten in maidens over further at this course; drops in trip. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
MOLLYS MANGO is the only track winner in the line-up and should prove hard to beat. Disappointingly pulled up on her most recent start at Wexford, the Gordon Elliott-trained bay was found to be 'blowing hard post race', while Jack Kennedy reported 'that his mount ran keen'. That Wexford contest was her first try over 2m4f and back in trip now, it's difficult to look beyond the Caldwell Construction-owned six-year-old, who is from the family of 2014 Stayers' Hurdle winner More Of That. Jazzie De Chaillac has attempted to make all on both of her track starts to date and dropping in trip to 2m1f, it'll be interesting to see if she can sustain the gallop. Littlebiggie has a point-to-point win to her name and should be able to make her presence felt. A fair sixth on her debut over flights at Punchestown, she was a place ahead of Clonmel bumper winner Rainbow Trail.
Although MOLLYS MANGO disappointed at Wexford last time she's still a standout in this weak race. Littlebiggie should be sharper with her Punchestown hurdle debut experience behind her and can fill the forecast spot.
A low-key start to proceedings. MOLLYS MANGO, who has by far the best form and wasn't right when disappointing at Wexford, should score

11/8(+15%) | (5) I Will Be Baie 11/8, Point winner who has showed useful form in bumpers, off the mark at the second attempt at Galway (18f) back in August prior to finishing good second at Listowel in September.

2nd (7) (4/9 +34%) My Trump Card |
4/9(+34%) | (7) My Trump Card 4/9, Highly promising sort. 1 win from 2 runs this season. Won 10-runner bumper at Navan (16f, heavy, 30/100) 23 days ago, keeping on well final 1f and going clear.

3rd (1) (12/1 +0%) Ah Remy Martin |
12/1(+0%) | (1) Ah Remy Martin 12/1, Runner-up on second of 2 starts in bumpers but shaped as if needing the run following 7 months off when seventh of 25 in novice hurdle (20/1) at Navan (16f, heavy) on hurdles bow 23 days ago.

4th (2) (33/1 -83%) Al Gasparo |
33/1(-83%) | (2) Al Gasparo 33/1, Successful on second of 2 starts in points (Mar 26) but he could run to only a modest level when sixth of 10 in bumper at this course (16f, soft) on NH debut 29 days ago.

150/1(-127%) | (8) Oneforgonzo 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. 125/1, eighth of 12 in novice hurdle at Bellewstown (16.8f, good) 177 days ago.

A match between MY TRUMP CARD and I Will Be Baie, with preference for the Gordon Elliott-trained former. Bred by Patrick Mullins and a brother to Grade 1 winner Airlie Beach, the selection has valuable hurdling experience to his name and comfortably accounted for nine rivals when successful in a bumper at Navan on his most recent start. Back over flights now, the E230,000 Goffs Land Rover Sale purchase looks an exciting prospect going forward. A beaten favourite on two of his four outings to date, I Will Be Baie starts off over flights. Bought for 150,000 pounds after winning a point-to-point for Colin Bowe, the French-bred grey should give the selection plenty to think about. One of four Tom Gibney-trained runners in the line-up, Ah Remy Martin looks the best of the rest.
MY TRUMP CARD and I Will Be Baie both displayed useful form in bumpers and comfortably rate the pair to focus on. The former is narrowly preferred holding hurdles experience over the latter. Run For Harry and Ah Remy Martin can do battle for third spot.
A two-horse. MY TRUMP CARD, proven on the ground and with the benefit of hurdling experience, is preferred to I Will Be Baie

9/2(-13%) | (7) Don't Talk 9/2, 1 win from 3 runs this season. 6/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, career best when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle at this course (16.1f, heavy) 16 days ago. Up in trip. Should go well again. Got off the mark over 2m here last time; 8lb higher but can go well if staying this trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (17) (33/1 -230%) Pipers Boreen |
33/1(-230%) | (17) Pipers Boreen 33/1, Eighth of 17 in novice hurdle (100/1) at Clonmel (19.1f, heavy) 25 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Well held in three maiden hurdles but was 2nd in a bumper; needs best in cheekpieces. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (18/1 -177%) Givehimthehonour |
18/1(-177%) | (5) Givehimthehonour 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 50/1, sixth of 13 in novice hurdle at Thurles (16.2f, soft) 39 days ago. Entitled to hold more chance now handicapping with this step up in trip a likely plus. Point winner was well beaten in three maiden hurdles but could be a player on h'cap bow. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (15) (28/1 -40%) Coco Kolada |
28/1(-40%) | (15) Coco Kolada 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 150/1, twentieth of 21 in novice hurdle at this course (16f, good to soft). Off 8 months. Up in trip. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Showed little in four maidens and not easy to fancy unless the market says otherwise. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (5/1 +55%) Bocelli's Voice |
5/1(+55%) | (2) Bocelli's Voice 5/1, 14/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, respectable seventh of 17 in handicap hurdle at Navan (20f, heavy) 44 days ago. Others more persuasive. Clonmel maiden winner in March; beaten 19l on return but can improve from that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (5/1 -67%) Lovely Reaction |
5/1(-67%) | (9) Lovely Reaction 5/1, Promising type. 3/1, fourth of 7 in handicap chase at Clonmel (17.9f, heavy) on debut over fences 25 days ago, not knocked about. Step up in trip rates a plus returned to hurdling and she's one to consider. Won at Limerick last January and some decent runs since; a player if staying this trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (12/1 +33%) Listenheretomejack |
12/1(+33%) | (6) Listenheretomejack 12/1, Added to his tally at Gowran (2m) last January. 9/2, fifteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Naas (15.6f, good to soft) in February, finishing lame. Betting should guide back from 10 months off. Triple hurdle winner over 2m was well beaten when last seen and has stamina to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (12/1 -20%) Mac's Xpress |
12/1(-20%) | (10) Mac's Xpress 12/1, Remains a maiden after 17 NH runs. 17/2, sixth of 7 in handicap chase at Clonmel (17.9f, heavy) on debut over fences 25 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Enters calculations. Maiden didn't jump well on chasing debut but has a chance on his better hurdle runs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (14/1 -17%) Miss Oreo |
14/1(-17%) | (1) Miss Oreo 14/1, C&D winner. Winner in hurdle here in October. 3/1, pulled up in novice hurdle at Huntingdon (19.6f, good to soft) 57 days ago, soon beaten. Makes handicap hurdle debut. C&D maiden hurdle winner was pulled-up at Huntingdon since; chance if bouncing back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (11/1 -38%) Glorytogod Tom |
11/1(-38%) | (3) Glorytogod Tom 11/1, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. Career best when winning 12-runner novice hurdle (22/1) at Wexford (16.2f, heavy) 45 days ago, edging ahead on line. Could do better again now handicapping in this sphere. Won a Wexford maiden over 2m on heavy; has stamina to prove on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (11) (11/4 +80%) Pay Later |
11/4(+80%) | (11) Pay Later 11/4, Lightly-raced maiden. Fared better than previously when ninth of 25 in handicap hurdle (40/1) at Navan (22.4f, good to soft). Off 10 months. First run for yard after leaving G. O'Leary. Tongue strap on 1st time. Point winner showed a glimpse of ability over hurdles; interesting jockey booking. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (12) (66/1 +0%) Seasett |
66/1(+0%) | (12) Seasett 66/1, Fairly useful at 1m on Flat. Lightly-raced over hurdles, ninth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (20.8f, soft, 80/1) 46 days ago, not convincing at the trip. Dual Flat winner was beaten 18l on h'cap hurdle debut last time and has to improve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (8) (28/1 -40%) Dark Image |
28/1(-40%) | (8) Dark Image 28/1, Sixth of 14 in handicap hurdle (22/1) at Limerick (16f, heavy) 72 days ago. Up in trip. Beaten 20l on handicap debut last time but this longer trip could suit so not ignored. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (13) (14/1 -27%) Breagagh |
14/1(-27%) | (13) Breagagh 14/1, Remains a maiden after 16 NH runs. 5/1, good fourth of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (12f) 10 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Maiden has mostly run well over hurdles and on Flat lately; ground might be too testing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (33/1 -18%) Custers Mistake |
33/1(-18%) | (4) Custers Mistake 33/1, Remains a maiden after 16 NH runs. 15/2, good second of 12 in claiming hurdle at Roscommon (20f, good to soft) 175 days ago. Starts out for new yard now. Dual point winner last year but a maiden under rules; probably best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (16) (50/1 -213%) Final Endeavour |
50/1(-213%) | (16) Final Endeavour 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. Fifteenth of 18 in handicap at Galway (11.8f, heavy, 18/1) 63 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Up in trip. Poor on last hurdle outing. Triple Flat winner was well beaten on both handicap hurdle runs and others preferred. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
It might be worth taking a chance on PAY LATER, who starts off for the shrewd Jonathan Sweeney in this wide-open contest. It's interesting that connections are persisting with the 11-year-old, who won a point-to-point back in February of 2019. A fair ninth of 25 on his most recent start at Navan, the Kayf Tara gelding had six subsequent winners in behind. Michael O'Sullivan is a positive jockey booking on the 93-rated bay, who is fitted with a tongue-strap for the first time. Miss Oreo is a more obvious contender and is given second preference. An easy winner over the course and distance on her penultimate start, she since disappointed at Huntingdon, but could bounce back now with Shane Fenelon claiming a valuable 7lb. Recent course winner Don't Talk and Wexford victor Glorytogod Tom are both sure to have plenty of supporters, while Lovely Reaction, Mac's Xpress and handicap debutant Givehimthehonour are others to consider.
Given a considerate introduction to chasing at Clonmel recently, LOVELY REACTION has long since shaped as though this sort of trip would suit and she earns the vote to come out on top returned to hurdling. Last-time-out winner's Don't Talk and Glorytogod Tom head up the dangers, with Mac's Xpress another to consider.
MAC'S XPRESS has a solid chance in this grade on the form he showed in a much stronger Cheltenham hurdle contest.

1st (10) (7/2 +83%) Mighty Oak Lad |
7/2(+83%) | (10) Mighty Oak Lad 7/2, Eleventh of 17 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (16.5f, good to soft, 18/1) 32 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Little appeal. Second Thornton runner; heavy defeats so far including in first two handicaps over shorter. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (5/1 -11%) Cher Why Not |
5/1(-11%) | (2) Cher Why Not 5/1, C&D winner. Creditable third of 12 in handicap hurdle (5/1) at this course (23.2f, heavy) 16 days ago, closing all way to line. Won this last year and likely to go well. Hold-up performer won this off 92 last year and two solid runs since returning from break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (9/2 -50%) Duffys Getaway |
9/2(-50%) | (3) Duffys Getaway 9/2, 2 wins from 5 runs this season (first over C&D). Career best when winning 22-runner handicap hurdle (11/2) at Punchestown (23.9f, heavy) 20 days ago, forging clear. Up 13 lb but seems sure to give another good account. Emphatic back-to-back wins over this trip has seen his mark go up 22lb in total. |

4th (6) (15/2 +17%) Lizlucky |
15/2(+17%) | (6) Lizlucky 15/2, Creditable 11¾ lengths third of 22 to Duffys Getaway in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (23.9f, heavy, 17/2) 20 days ago. Respected. Third of 22 over this trip at Punchestown; 13lb pull with winner Duffys Getaway. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (50/1 -257%) Shanroe Act |
50/1(-257%) | (9) Shanroe Act 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 12 in handicap hurdle at this course (16.1f, heavy, 25/1) on return 16 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Bit of late headway when beaten 20l over 2m and there is stamina in his pedigree. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (14/1 +0%) Killinure Lass |
14/1(+0%) | (5) Killinure Lass 14/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle at this course (23.5f, heavy, 7/1) 38 days ago. Won't mind this test but needs to show more judged on recent showings. Decent fourth at Galway in October but tame efforts last twice; notable jockey booking. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (100/1 -525%) San Martino |
100/1(-525%) | (1) San Martino 100/1, 150/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (12f) 17 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Good on last hurdle run. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Stamina to prove. Fit from AW spins but doesn't look well treated for handicap debut and not sure to stay. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (15/8 +0%) Read To Return |
15/8(+0%) | (7) Read To Return 15/8, Winner in chase at Killarney in October. 5/4, creditable third of 16 in handicap hurdle at Navan (20f, heavy) 15 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Back up in trip, which will suit, and he's one to consider. Never-nearer third at Navan (2m4f) and has a race in him; heavy ground may not be ideal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (20/1 -186%) Appian Way |
20/1(-186%) | (8) Appian Way 20/1, Modest winning hurdler. 12/1, fell in maiden at Thurles (18.3f, soft) on debut over fences 60 days ago. Needs a revival. Yet to win for this yard and probably doesn't want ground this testing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (20/1 +0%) Sixhandsinmypocket |
20/1(+0%) | (4) Sixhandsinmypocket 20/1, 18/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, unseated rider in novice chase at Tramore (21.4f, soft) 34 days ago, close up when unseated 2 out (would have finished in frame). Fair hurdler and wouldn't dismiss back in this sphere. Maiden is back over hurdles after a couple of non-completions in chases; others preferred. |

CHER WHY NOT is an out and out stayer and won this race 12-months ago. Knocking on the door of late, the Flemensfirth chestnut will again be ridden by David Doyle who claims a valuable 7lb. The hat-trick seeking Duffys Getaway was fourth behind the selection in last year's renewal and is given second preference. After easy recent wins, the progressive Philip Rothwell-trained seven-year-old is now on a career high mark of 102, but might still be ahead of the handicapper. Read To Return, who caught the attention of the stewards at Cheltenham in November, is another leading hope. The Tony Martin-trained bay wasn't beaten far on his most recent outings over 2m4f and he should appreciate this step up in trip.
DUFFYS GETAWAY can go on improving and land the hat-trick. Last year's winner Cher Why Not is a danger, while Read To Return is also a big player back up in trip.
Doubtless Read To Return will be popular again but trip and ground are fine for DUFFYS GETAWAY (nap) who can complete a hat-trick

1st (6) (10/3 +0%) Riviere D'etel |
10/3(+0%) | (6) Riviere D'etel 10/3, Useful chaser. Course winner. Creditable 7 lengths second of 5 to Captain Guinness in Fortria Chase (5/1) at Navan (16f, heavy) 44 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Wouldn't dismiss. Was 2nd in a Navan Grade 2 last time; gets 8lb from Allegorie De Vassy and big player. |

2nd (1) (8/13 -17%) Allegorie De Vassy |
8/13(-17%) | (1) Allegorie De Vassy 8/13, Smart chaser. 8/11, didn't need to be at best when winning 5-runner listed chase at Clonmel (20.4f, heavy) on return 53 days ago by 2¼ lengths from Instit. Still one of the best in this division when on song and the one to beat here. Resumed with an impressive score at Clonmel; conceding weight today but sets the standard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (4/1 +20%) Instit |
4/1(+20%) | (2) Instit 4/1, Useful chaser. 3/1, respectable 2¼ lengths second of 5 to Allegorie De Vassy in listed chase at Clonmel (20.4f, heavy) on return 53 days ago, going with enthusiasm. 2-2 here and can give it another good go. No match for Allegorie De Vassy at Clonmel when getting 11lb and is 6lb worse off today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (40/1 -21%) My Design |
40/1(-21%) | (4) My Design 40/1, Useful chaser. 2 wins from 6 runs this season. 9/1, below form seventh of 18 in handicap chase at this course (29.6f, soft) 29 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Down in trip. Work to do. Didn't stay 3m5f here last month; this trip more suitable but has a bit to find today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (25/1 +0%) Must Be Obeyed |
25/1(+0%) | (3) Must Be Obeyed 25/1, Useful chaser. C&D winner. 17/2, respectable third of 8 in handicap chase at this course (20f, soft) on return 29 days ago, going with enthusiasm. This is tougher. Solid effort on return in a handicap here last month but a bit to find with some of these. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Paul Townend would have had a strong book of rides at Tramore, but ALLEGORIE DE VASSY is probably the main reason he has opted to visit Fairyhouse. A beaten favourite on her most recent venture to the Co Meath venue, the selection got back to winning ways on her seasonal reappearance at Clonmel in November. She got the better of Instit at the Powerstown Park circuit and that stable companion re-opposes now. Sean O'Keeffe will be aboard Instit, with this 142-rated bay a perfect two from two at Fairyhouse, beating the selection into second when they clashed here in April. Rivere D'etel will have her supporters, but she hasn't managed to win a race in over two years and doesn't appear to be as good as she once was. The other three contenders all have plenty to find on ratings.
ALLEGORIE DE VASSY remains one of the best in this division on her day, and following her successful reappearance at Clonmel she can see off stablemate Instit again.
While Riviere D'Etel is a major danger receiving 8lb, it is still difficult to oppose the classy ALLEGORIE DE VASSY.

1st (5) (2/7 +34%) Nick Rockett |
2/7(+34%) | (5) Nick Rockett 2/7, Point winner who quickly made up into a smart hurdler in the spring. Promising start to his chase career when fourth of 13 in C&D maiden last month. Hard to beat with improvement on the cards. Grade 2 hurdle winner ran a fine race on chasing debut over C&D; be difficult to beat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (7/1 -75%) Tactical Move |
7/1(-75%) | (7) Tactical Move 7/1, Bumper winner in 2019 who made a successful return from a huge absence in a 22-runner maiden hurdle (7/4) at Punchestown (16f, heavy) in January (off again since). Interesting recruit to chasing but Nick Rockett has to be considered the yard first string. Won a Punchestown maiden hurdle a year ago; powerful yard's second string; run well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (12/1 +45%) My Immortal |
12/1(+45%) | (4) My Immortal 12/1, Useful hurdler. Should be all the sharper for his first experience of fences here last month but he was well behind Nick Rockett on that occasions. Cheekpieces back on. A long way behind Nick Rockett on chasing debut over C&D; has work to do. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (14/1 +65%) Cadatharla |
14/1(+65%) | (1) Cadatharla 14/1, Useful hurdler. Should build on his C&D chase debut sixth on his reappearance a month ago but like a few of these he has a bit to find with Nick Rockett. Some promise on chasing debut over C&D but has a lot to find with Nick Rockett on that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (11/1 -100%) Santonito |
11/1(-100%) | (6) Santonito 11/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 28/1, third of 7 in maiden at Navan (20.4f, heavy) on debut over fences 23 days ago. Some encouragement on his chasing debut at Navan; can be a player if improving from that. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Four of these finished behind Corbetts Cross over the course and distance last month, with NICK ROCKETT by far the best of them in fourth. A Grade 2 winner over flights, the Willie Mullins-trained selection is the choice of Paul Townend and he should prove too strong for his six rivals. Stable companion Tactical Move looks the main danger. Out of action for more than three years, he was successful on his return at Punchestown and makes his racecourse debut over fences now. That Punchestown success was almost a year ago, with the Stowaway gelding clearly meeting with another setback in the interim. Santonito looks the best of the rest after finishing third on his debut over fences at Navan, while Cheltenham Festival winner Good Time Jonny is likely to come into his own in handicap company.
NICK ROCKETT had a few of these rivals well behind him when making a promising start to his chase career here last month and should be very hard to beat with improvement on the cards. His talented, but seemingly fragile, stablemate Tactical Move is the one likely to give him most to do.
With a clear round of jumping, NICK ROCKETT will be very difficult to beat, as he holds most of these rivals on recent C&D form.

1st (7) (9/4 -38%) Staffordshire Knot |
9/4(-38%) | (7) Staffordshire Knot 9/4, Once-raced maiden. 12/1, third of 17 in novice hurdle at Cork (16f, heavy) on NH debut 36 days ago. Makes bumpers debut. Should be on the premises. Was 3rd in a Cork maiden hurdle (2m; soft) on debut; big chance back to a bumper. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (12/1 -140%) Recoded |
12/1(-140%) | (6) Recoded 12/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. Third of 9 in novice hurdle at Carlisle (17.2f, soft, 9/2) on hurdles bow 74 days ago. Switches from hurdles to bumpers. Not dismissed. Ability in a bumper and novice hurdle; handles heavy ground and can run respectably. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (9/1 -29%) Donnie Devito |
9/1(-29%) | (2) Donnie Devito 9/1, Once-raced maiden. 20/1 and tongue strap on, third of 9 in bumper at Sligo (18f, soft) on NH debut 66 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Ms M. M. Gannon. Promise on bumper debut at Sligo; new yard now and is capable of another decent showing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (25/1 +24%) Ned In The Park |
25/1(+24%) | (5) Ned In The Park 25/1, Walk In The Park gelding. Dam unraced. Others are more persuasive. By a leading sire and yard enjoyed a productive 2023; follow market leads. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (50/1 -25%) Good Deal |
50/1(-25%) | (3) Good Deal 50/1, Ivawood gelding. Dam unraced. Doesn't make much appeal on pedigree. A 1,000euros vendor buyback as a foal; not bred for this and best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (125/1 -525%) Barna Endeavor |
125/1(-525%) | (1) Barna Endeavor 125/1, Sageburg gelding. Half-brother to fair chaser Barna Venture. Dam, unraced, closely related to modest hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 2¾m) Barna Bay. Wears tongue strap. Worth monitoring in the betting. Decent pedigree; tongue-tie on for debut; follow market leads. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (4/6 +46%) I Am River |
4/6(+46%) | (4) I Am River 4/6, €210,000 3-y-o, Getaway gelding. Dam, bumper/fair 3m hurdle winner, closely related to smart hurdler/chaser (winner up to 3m) Wichita Lineman. Should take all the beating. By a quality sire and a fine damline; represents formidable connections; maximium respect. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
STAFFORDSHIRE KNOT might be able to put his experience to good use. The Gordon Elliott-trained bay ran a fine race on debut over flights at Cork, finishing a close third behind two Willie Mullins-trained bumper winners. Likely to come on plenty for that effort, the Shantou six-year-old gets the nod over interesting newcomer I Am River. A E210,000 Tattersalls Derby Sale purchase, I Am River is out of dual winner Dreambaby, who herself is a half-sister to Rhinestone Cowboy and Wichita Lineman. Carrying the colours of JP McManus, market confidence or lack thereof will be telling. With her late in-laws honoured in the feature race on the programme, Lorna Fowler's Recoded would be an apt winner. Third on his two starts to date in the UK, the Kodiac bay is not without his chance under Derek O'Connor. Donnie Devito was a good third on debut at Sligo and it'll be interesting to see how he fares starting off for Ross O'Sullivan.
I AM RIVER is from an excellent family and represents powerful connections, so he's narrowly preferred to Staffordshire Knot, who shaped well in a novice hurdle Cork recently. Recoded is the best of those with bumper experience.
STAFFORDSHIRE KNOT was a fine 3rd in a Cork maiden hurdle on soft. This ground is a concern but he should get away with it.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
