1st (10) (7/1 +50%) Custom Of The Sea |
7/1(+50%) | (10) Custom Of The Sea 7/1, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to smart hurdler/high-class chaser (stayed 23f) Kalashnikov. In good hands and it'll be interesting to see what the market has to say. First foal, dam an unraced half-sister to the smart Kalashnikov, stable won this last year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (28/1 -75%) Boher Road |
28/1(-75%) | (2) Boher Road 28/1, Fairly useful Flat winner, making GB/IRE jumps debut. Fourteenth of 16 in handicap (6/1) at Naas (10f, heavy). Off 6 months. Stamina to prove now switched to hurdles (maiden win on the level was over 1m). Won a 1m Curragh maiden last season, could do well over hurdles in due course. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (1.38/1 +8%) Morning Soldier |
1.38/1(+8%) | (4) Morning Soldier 1.38/1, Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. Very good second of 6 in juvenile hurdle at Naas (15.6f, good to soft, 11/2) 92 days ago. Major player. Capable of winning a maiden judged on second to the useful Sir Allen at Naas in February. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (12/1 -71%) Baltic Bird |
12/1(-71%) | (1) Baltic Bird 12/1, Useful Flat winner (11.5f) 11/2, fell in novice hurdle at Down Royal (16.8f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Should progress. Useful on the Flat, made a bright start to his hurdling career, fell on second attempt. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (3/1 +0%) Shajak |
3/1(+0%) | (6) Shajak 3/1, 16/1, first run since leaving John Patrick Murtagh when fourth of 9 in handicap at Gowran (13.7f, heavy) 26 days ago, not ideally placed. Stamina pretty much assured for this Flat winner and he's one to be interested in. Winner and Listed-placed on Flat, should be well primed for hurdling debut after Flat run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (3.5/1 +36%) Flamborough |
3.5/1(+36%) | (3) Flamborough 3.5/1, Fairly useful Flat winner. Twice-raced maiden over hurdles. 10/3, sixth of 24 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (20f, soft) 36 days ago. Live each-way claims. Flat winner in Britain, rated 78, second on hurdling debut, not as good on second attempt. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (14) (28/1 +15%) Orpington |
28/1(+15%) | (14) Orpington 28/1, Harzand gelding. Half-brother to useful 7f-1½m winner Pita Pinta. Will probably come on for the run. Second foal, half-brother to Listed-placed winner Pita Pinta, dam Flat and hurdles winner. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (12) (250/1 +0%) Gimmeago |
250/1(+0%) | (12) Gimmeago 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. 300/1, eleventh of 15 in juvenile hurdle at Cork (16f, good to soft) 35 days ago. Down the field in maiden hurdle outings at Naas and Cork, no sign of promise so far. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (50/1 +24%) Brave Crogha |
50/1(+24%) | (9) Brave Crogha 50/1, Brave Mansonnien gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners, including bumper winner/fairly useful 2¼m/19f hurdle winner Guinness Affair. Dam unraced. Well worth a second look in the betting. Half-brother to a bumper and hurdles winner and to a French Flat winner. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (16) (200/1 +0%) Tenacious Tess |
200/1(+0%) | (16) Tenacious Tess 200/1, Buratino filly. Half-sister to modest 2m hurdle winner Orla's Rainbow. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful 2m hurdle winner Red Wine. Probably best watched on debut. Half-sister to a winning hurdler, unraced dam closely related to a 1m4f Listed winner. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (11) (250/1 -25%) Dream Shaper |
250/1(-25%) | (11) Dream Shaper 250/1, Morpheus gelding. Half-brother to 1¼m winner in Italy Bridge Pinot. Dam showed little in 2 starts on Flat. The betting should point to whether he or stablemate Brave Crogha is the yard's first-string. Half-brother to an Italian 1m2f winner, dam finished last on both starts, speedy pedigree. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (13) (12/1 +0%) Highland King |
12/1(+0%) | (13) Highland King 12/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving John Patrick Murtagh when eighth of 12 in handicap at Dundalk (8f, 20/1) 65 days ago. Some decent efforts at up to 1½m in handicaps on the Flat last year and has joined a top jumps yard. Twice second in Flat handicaps at Leopardstown last year, may have needed Dundalk run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (15) (250/1 -25%) Tullabrack Lad |
250/1(-25%) | (15) Tullabrack Lad 250/1, Once-raced maiden. 125/1, seventeenth of 18 in bumper at Fairyhouse (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 35 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Huge price when always at the back on debut in a valuable sales bumper at Fairyhouse. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (5) (50/1 -52%) Rushford |
50/1(-52%) | (5) Rushford 50/1, 9/4, third of 10 in handicap at Ffos Las (16f, good to soft), finding less than looked likely. Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving Sir Mark Prescott Bt. Interesting recruit to this sphere. Showed a liking for fast ground and displayed stamina win when winning twice on the Flat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (7) (250/1 -25%) Across The Ocean |
250/1(-25%) | (7) Across The Ocean 250/1, Once-raced maiden. 50/1, eleventh of 13 in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (18.8f, good to soft) on NH debut 9 days ago. Tailed off on his recent debut at Downpatrick, can be safely left out of calculations. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (8) (125/1 -25%) Askwell |
125/1(-25%) | (8) Askwell 125/1, €22,000 3-y-o, Doyen gelding. Dam, 2¼m-3½m hurdle/chase winner, sister to very smart hurdler/chaser (stayed 3¼m) Mala Beach. Entitled to come on for the run. Dam bumper/hurdle/chase winner and a sister to winners including the talented Mala Beach. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
1st - 1.5/1 (4) MORNING SOLDIER 2nd - 3/1 (6) SHAJAK 3rd - 33/1 (5) RUSHFORD
MORNING SOLDIER's runner-up berth at Naas reads well and he should appreciate this better ground as a former winner on the Flat in Dundalk. He was beaten a length into second at Naas and had the subsequent Boodles winner at the Cheltenham Festival behind him in fourth. Shajak reached a peak mark of 95 on the Flat and is interesting on hurdle debut for Gordon Elliott. Flamborough is back to the trip he finished a close second over at Down Royal, so has to enter the equation. Custom Of The Sea and Boher Road are hurdling newcomers to note in the market. First-reserve Jit Langy would likely have a major say if getting a run. Willie Mullins' French import was second in a hurdle race in September in his native country.
The form of the juvenile event in which MORNING SOLDIER was second at Naas in February is very solid (Jazzy Matty and Byker, fourth and third respectively in the same race, went on to fill the first two places in the Fred Winter at the Cheltenham Festival) and he is presented with a good opportunity to open his hurdles account. This sharp track will suit Thomas Mullins' charge, who may have most to fear from Shajak, an interesting recruit from the Flat. Baltic Bird is also shortlisted.
After suffering an alarming loss of form on the Flat MORNING SOLDIER has taken to hurdling well enough to suggest he can win here

1st (15) (4/1 +50%) Valleyoftheeagles |
4/1(+50%) | (15) Valleyoftheeagles 4/1, Fair maiden on the Flat. Promising individual. 12/1, fourth of 12 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 23 days ago. Should have more to offer. Showed mild promise on Flat, hinted at winning potential when fourth on hurdling debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (7/1 +42%) Chiefs Kingdom |
7/1(+42%) | (6) Chiefs Kingdom 7/1, Twice-raced maiden. Twelfth of 27 in novice hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, soft, 40/1) 139 days ago. Respected based on debut fourth at Thurles. Only 4 1/2l behind third-placed Ideal De Ciergues at Thurles on first of his two outings. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (2.25/1 -29%) Ideal De Ciergues |
2.25/1(-29%) | (10) Ideal De Ciergues 2.25/1, Promising type. Bit below form fourth of 24 in novice hurdle at Naas (18.8f, soft, 7/2) 145 days ago but he's still open to improvement and is the one to beat. Two maiden hurdle runs in races won by subsequent Grade 1 winners, strong prospects. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (12) (18/1 -13%) Marciano |
18/1(-13%) | (12) Marciano 18/1, Twice-raced maiden. 6/1, ran out in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.6f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Showed a tendency to hang at Clonmel, even more apparent at Ballinrobe where he ran out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (14) (16/1 +52%) Val The Man |
16/1(+52%) | (14) Val The Man 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. Fifteenth of 20 in novice hurdle (33/1) at Punchestown (20.7f, good). Off 7 months. Booking of O'Keeffe a plus. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Promising second in a 2m4f maiden hurdle at this venue last July, failed to build on that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (16) (25/1 +24%) We Had It All Said |
25/1(+24%) | (16) We Had It All Said 25/1, Twice-raced maiden under Rules. 25/1, sixth of 19 in novice hurdle at Tipperary (16f, good to soft) on hurdles bow. Off 7 months. Open to progress. Shaped quite well in bumper and maiden hurdle runs four months apart last year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (100/1 -150%) Alhaajeb |
100/1(-150%) | (1) Alhaajeb 100/1, Fair Flat winner. Twice-raced maiden over hurdles. Sixth of 12 in novice hurdle (33/1) at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Four wins on Flat, held by Valleyoftheeagles on running at Kilbeggan last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (20/1 +75%) Glady Max |
20/1(+75%) | (8) Glady Max 20/1, Twice-raced maiden. 66/1, fifth of 18 in novice hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy) 64 days ago. Fifth at Gowran in March but beaten 35l, more likely a handicap prospect in due course. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (22/1 -38%) Caradoc |
22/1(-38%) | (2) Caradoc 22/1, Useful Flat winner. 66/1, fourth of 28 in handicap at Newmarket (9f, good), never nearer. Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving Ed Walker. Could have a part to play on debut in this sphere if his jumping/stamina passes the test. Last of four Flat wins was in 2019 but finished fourth in last year's Cambridgeshire. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (40/1 +0%) Chief Consul |
40/1(+0%) | (5) Chief Consul 40/1, Proconsul gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Just Loose Change, stays 2¾m. Market should point the way. Half-brother to winning hurdler Just Loose Change, dam placed in bumper/2m hurdle. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (50/1 -25%) Callmedusty |
50/1(-25%) | (4) Callmedusty 50/1, Imperial Monarch gelding. Dam unraced sister to smart hurdler/chaser (2m-3m winner) Dancing Tornado. Yard also saddles fellow newcomer Chief Consul. Dam an unraced sister to useful hurdler/chaser Dancing Tornado, decent pedigree overall. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (11) (2.5/1 +58%) Make The Plan |
2.5/1(+58%) | (11) Make The Plan 2.5/1, Fair hurdler. 7/2, good second of 15 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.6f, good to soft) 12 days ago, clear of rest. Each-way claims. Ran his best race so far when second to an easy winner at Ballinrobe, should be in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (7) (200/1 +0%) Freepark |
200/1(+0%) | (7) Freepark 200/1, Modest maiden on the Flat. Once-raced maiden in this sphere. Hard to fancy. Low-grade Flat handicapper for John McConnell, 100-1 when down the field on hurdling debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (9) (100/1 -400%) Hey Skipper |
100/1(-400%) | (9) Hey Skipper 100/1, Once-raced maiden. Fifth of 13 in novice hurdle (40/1) at Kilbeggan (15f, good to soft) on NH debut 24 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Should improve. Betrayed inexperience but managed to show some promise on belated debut at Kilbeggan. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (150/1 -50%) Screaming Petrus |
150/1(-50%) | (3) Screaming Petrus 150/1, Fairly useful Flat winner. Once-raced maiden over hurdles (unseated rider at the first at Down Royal earlier this month). 1m4f AW maiden winner in Britain, unseated at the first on hurdling debut at Down Royal. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Prediction: 1st - 1.75/1 (10) IDEAL DE CIERGUES, 2nd - 6/1 (11) MAKE THE PLAN, 3rd - 8/1 (15) VALLEYOFTHEEAGLES.
This looks to be a drop in class for IDEAL DE CIERGUES and he can take advantage of it. Gordon Elliott's charge finished third in Thurles and fourth at Naas in maiden hurdles won by subsequent Grade 1 winners, which has to give him leading claims here. Nene River makes his track debut for shrewd connections and has to be given a market check. He was a smooth winner of a British point-to-point in March. Caradoc held a three-figure rating on the Flat in Britain and was last seen finishing fourth in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket in September. He could be a useful recruit for Eric McNamara. Valleyoftheeagles showed improvement in fourth at Kilbeggan and was well supported. The form of that race has been well franked. Chiefs Kingdom and Make The Plan have a shot at prize money.
It will look significant if there's confidence behind the Emmet Mullins-trained NENE RIVER in the betting. The 5-y-o was a clear-cut winner of his sole completed start between the flags and this half-brother to the useful Omar Maretti will be of strong interest if the market vibes are indeed upbeat. Ideal de Ciergues has made the frame in maiden hurdles won by subsequent Grade 1 winners Il Etait Temps and Impaire Et Passe, and he is an obvious threat. Valleyoftheeagles is third choice.
On the basis of respectable form in maidens won by subsequent Grade 1 winners, IDEAL DE CIERGUES looks capable of opening his account

1st (3) (4/1 +43%) Shecouldbeanything |
4/1(+43%) | (3) Shecouldbeanything 4/1, Useful hurdler. Career best when winning 14-runner listed hurdle at Punchestown (16.4f, good to soft, 7/2) 19 days ago by 4¼ lengths from The Model Kingdom, forging clear. More needed. Won readily at Punchestown, officially rated 14lb below stablemate Party Central. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (7/1 +56%) Walk With Paul |
7/1(+56%) | (7) Walk With Paul 7/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Creditable 5¾ lengths third of 14 to Shecouldbeanything in listed hurdle (10/1) at Punchestown (16.4f, good to soft) 19 days ago, travelling strongly. Not without each-way hope. Has been running well in defeat, may reach the money again but hard to see her winning. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (40/1 +68%) Silent Approach |
40/1(+68%) | (6) Silent Approach 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. Creditable second of 14 in novice hurdle at Tramore (16f, soft, 2/1) 28 days ago but this is much tougher. Has shown maiden-winning potential with two second placings, up against it in this company. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (1.75/1 -59%) Party Central |
1.75/1(-59%) | (2) Party Central 1.75/1, Promising sort. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Career best when winning on last outing in this sphere at the 2022 Punchestown Festival. Remains open to improvement and looks the pick of the Gordon Elliott-trained trio. 4-6 over hurdles, has won at this level, big chance after winning reappearance on the Flat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (100/1 -25%) Enfranchise |
100/1(-25%) | (4) Enfranchise 100/1, Useful Flat winner. Once-raced maiden over hurdles (beaten 15½ lengths into tenth in the listed race won by Shecouldbeanything at Punchestown last month). Easy to look elsewhere on this occasion. Five-time Flat winner, 66-1 when down the field behind Shecouldbeanything at Punchestown. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (3/1 -20%) Anna Bunina |
3/1(-20%) | (1) Anna Bunina 3/1, Useful hurdler. Winner of this race 12 months ago. Good 9½ lengths second of 6 to Echoes In Rain in Mares Champion Hurdle (28/1) at Punchestown (19.1f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Expected to be bang there. High-class mare, held her own in a Grade 1 event last time, unlikely to be far away. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (5.5/1 +45%) Night And Day |
5.5/1(+45%) | (5) Night And Day 5.5/1, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. Creditable 7½ lengths fifth of 14 to Shecouldbeanything in listed hurdle at Punchestown (16.4f, good to soft, 5/1) 19 days ago, left poorly placed. Place possibilities. Looked in need of further when fifth to Shecouldbeanything at Punchestown. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
1st: 1.1/1 (2) PARTY CENTRAL 2nd: 7/1 (3) SHECOULDBEANYTHING 3rd: 2.5/1 (1) ANNA BUNINA
It was hard not to be impressed with Gordon Elliott's PARTY CENTRAL on her comeback run on the Flat at Gowran Park last month where she stayed on strongly to get up close home. She had been off for almost a year since landing a mares' novices' hurdle at Punchestown. She has an excellent record in this sphere with four victories from five appearances, including a Grade B handicap hurdle at Leopardstown. Anna Bunina holds the same rating of 142 as Party Central, so this should be a good race. She is a former Scottish Champion Hurdle winner and her last run in second at 28/1 in a Grade 1 at Punchestown entitles her to plenty of respect. She holds every chance. Elliott also saddles Shecouldbeanything and Media Naranja. The former has plenty to find on ratings with the aforementioned pair, but was very strong in winning in Listed class at Punchestown. The latter gets all the allowances and has more to offer.
PARTY CENTRAL hasn't been seen out in this sphere for over a year but her wellbeing is proven having returned with a winning debut on the Flat at Gowran last month. While that success was gained on heavy ground, she's fully effective on a faster surface (4-4 overall on good/yielding) and, open to further progress, she is taken to get the better of last year's winner of this, Anna Bunina. Night And Day was behind a couple of these last time but there were excuses that day and she is third choice.
Recent Flat winner PARTY CENTRAL is less exposed as a hurdler than the admirable Anna Bunina whom she faces on handicap terms

4.5/1(-29%) | (4) Mighty Tom 4.5/1, First run since leaving Thomas Cooper when third of 18 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19.1f, good to soft, 40/1) 15 days ago. Each-way shout. Comes into the reckoning here on the basis of a fine Punchestown run on stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (2.75/1 +21%) Magnor Glory |
2.75/1(+21%) | (1) Magnor Glory 2.75/1, Course winner. Two wins from 5 runs last season. Creditable fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle (22/1) at Fairyhouse (16.4f, soft) 36 days ago. Merits consideration. Won a 2m4f handicap here last summer, later 2m winner at Listowel, good run last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (14) (11/1 +39%) Sacchoandvanzetti |
11/1(+39%) | (14) Sacchoandvanzetti 11/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, creditable ninth of 25 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19.8f, good to soft, 33/1) 18 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Not taken lightly. Two wins gained consecutively in 2019, fair Punchestown run on latest, not a lost cause. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (12) (18/1 -29%) Gordons Aura |
18/1(-29%) | (12) Gordons Aura 18/1, 12/1, unseated rider in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.2f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Each-way claims based on his third of 19 at Fairyhouse on penultimate start. Unseated at the first at Punchestown, each-way prospects on previous Fairyhouse third. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (14/1 +0%) Glan |
14/1(+0%) | (3) Glan 14/1, 25/1, bit below form tenth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.4f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Yard also saddles Gordons Aura. Fourth in last season's Galway Hurdle but has been inconsistent since big Fairyhouse win. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (10/1 -33%) Kilbree Warrior |
10/1(-33%) | (10) Kilbree Warrior 10/1, 16/1, career best when winning 20-runner handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.4f, good to soft) 35 days ago. Up 10 lb but he won by a wide margin and should make another bold bid. Made all for wide-margin Fairyhouse win, shorter trip now, 10lb higher but good chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (6/1 +57%) Man O Work |
6/1(+57%) | (5) Man O Work 6/1, Creditable seventh of 18 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Punchestown (16.4f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Signs of a return to form at Punchestown last time but others make much more appeal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (125/1 -89%) Vultan |
125/1(-89%) | (11) Vultan 125/1, Temperamental sort. Last of 16 in handicap hurdle (80/1) at Fairyhouse (16.4f, soft) 36 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Maiden hurdle winner for Joseph O'Brien, has struggled in four handicaps for this yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (9/1 -29%) All Those Years |
9/1(-29%) | (8) All Those Years 9/1, Fairly useful winner at 18f in chases. Fell in novice chase at Tipperary (20.2f, soft, 5/2) 26 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Needs a second look. Has been chasing, unseated on latest, may need confidence restored, market may give clues. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (2) (25/1 -25%) Cask Mate |
25/1(-25%) | (2) Cask Mate 25/1, Fifth of 8 in minor event hurdle at Cork (16f, good to soft, 14/1) 35 days ago. Others more persuasive. Smart performer in his younger days, hard to be sure how competitive he remains. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (10/1 -33%) Doyen Ta Win |
10/1(-33%) | (9) Doyen Ta Win 10/1, Three wins from 11 runs last season. Latest win in hurdle at Wexford in March. 3/1, good second of 9 in minor event hurdle at Naas (16.3f, soft) 45 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. One to consider. Won three handicaps in a row before good run in defeat in a conditions race, respected. |

11th (13) (10/1 +38%) Listentillitellyea |
10/1(+38%) | (13) Listentillitellyea 10/1, Remains a maiden after 17 NH runs. 33/1, carried out in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.2f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Carried out at Punchestown, appears well held by Gordons Aura on Fairyhouse running. |

12th (7) (25/1 +24%) Typical Thomas |
25/1(+24%) | (7) Typical Thomas 25/1, Winner over hurdles at Downpatrick in July. 16/1, ninth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (20f, soft) 136 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Must improve. Showed decent form in conditions races last autumn, down the field on his handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (6) (125/1 -346%) Purple Mountain |
125/1(-346%) | (6) Purple Mountain 125/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle at this C&D (good to soft, 5/1), losing touch from 4 out. Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving W. P. Mullins. Others preferred. Ex-Willie Mullins, absent since pulled-up here last summer, best watched for the moment. |

1st: 7.5/1 (10) KILBREE WARRIOR 2nd: 7.5/1 (9) DOYEN TA WIN 3rd: 3.5/1 (1) MAGNOR GLORY
There could be plenty of pace on here which will suit MIGHTY TOM. This eight-year-old gelding switched to Cian Collins and ran an absolute stormer in third at 40/1 in a Grade B handicap hurdle at Punchestown. He was held up and travelled notably well into contention before his effort flattened out on the run-in. Considering that was his first run for almost a year, there should be improvement forthcoming. Magnor Glory showed plenty in fourth in a Grade A handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse in April. He has won three of his last six hurdle races and has to rate a threat. Kilbree Warrior was dominant off the front in a novice handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse. Doyen Ta Win is another prominent racer who has been in excellent form since the turn of the year. All Those Years reverts from fences and isn't out of it.
The vote goes to KILBREE WARRIOR, who out plenty of daylight between himself and his rivals when landing a big-field Fairyhouse handicap last month. If in a similar mood back down in trip here, a 10 lb rise may not be enough to stop him going in again. At the foot of the weights, Sacchoandvanzetti is of interest and may well have a part to play, while All Those Years is of interest back hurdling and the in-form Doyen Ta Win also needs considering.
If building on a Punchestown run which was his first outing for the stable and came after a year off, MIGHTY TOM could be hard to beat

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based on these brief summaries, as there is limited information provided. However, 1.88/1 (2) SALDIER and 8/1 (3) THE FLIER BEGLEY seem to be the strongest contenders based on their recent wins and previous form. 1.88/1 (8) VINA ARDANZA also has the potential to do well, as a consistent handicapper over hurdles who is switching to chase. Therefore, we predict the finishing order to be: 1) 1.88/1 (2) SALDIER, 2) 8/1 (3) THE FLIER BEGLEY, and 3) 1.88/1 (8) VINA ARDANZA.
SALDIER looks well treated by race conditions despite having to concede weight to all bar two rivals. The Willie Mullins-trained gelding, who was easily the best of these over hurdles, impressed with his jumping when making a successful chasing debut at Thurles in February. Although pulled up in Grade 3 company at Naas subsequently, that was clearly not his true running. A reproduction of his earlier form should see the nine-year-old return to winning ways. Vina Ardanza fell at this track on his chasing debut last August but has been a consistent handicapper at the highest level since reverting to hurdles. While he does need to put that initial mishap behind him, the six-year-old remains unexposed. Stablemate Perfect Attitude also disappointed over fences here last year but has since finished runner-up at Listowel.
VINA ARDANZA looked set to make a winning start in this sphere before departing at the last here back in August, so Gordon Elliott's 6-y-o gets the vote to make amends. One-time very smart hurdler Saldier made a winning chasing debut at Thurles in February and Willie Mullins' charge can get back on track after a lacklustre effort at Naas 9 weeks ago. Perfect Attitude and recent winner The Flier Begley can fight out third spot.
Gavin Cromwell's VINA ARDANZA has proved consistent over hurdles and is getting 6lb from his main rivals. He has a big shout

Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Decent efforts in handicap hurdles since last chase outing but this looks a step too far. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Prediction: 1.63/1 (5) HAUTURIERE is likely to do well based on her impressive hurdling record and fourth-place finish in a Grade 1 mares novice hurdle last month. 5/1 (3) EABHA GRACE also has a strong chance, having won a Grade 3 at Limerick on her penultimate start and not to be dismissed despite being pulled up at Fairyhouse last time. 6/1 (4) HAPPY D'EX could potentially finish in third place, as he has shown decent form over fences in his four starts so far.
ROSEYS HOLLOW may be able to put her previous chasing experience to good use here to see off a pair of Willie Mullins-trained chasing newcomers. A former Grade 3 winner over hurdles, the nine-year-old has shown definite promise in five starts since switching to fences and that can prove the decisive factor here. The Jonathan Sweeney-trained mare was marginally the best of these over hurdles but will need to be at her peak in this competitive event. Hauturiere impressed when winning in Listed class over hurdles at Punchestown in February before finishing runner-up to stablemate Eabha Grace next time. However, the daughter of No Risk At All comprehensively overturned that form when the pair met again in Grade 1 company at Fairyhouse last month. While Eabha Grace is almost certainly better than that form implies, she has work to do now.
Willie Mullins looks to hold a strong hand and his useful hurdler HAUTURIERE is taken to go in at the first time of asking over fences and edge out stablemate Eabha Grace, who also starts out chasing with plenty to recommend her. Roseys Hollow and Happy d'Ex can fight it out for minor honours.
An intriguing mares contest where ROSEYS HOLLOW can put her chasing experience to good use and get off the mark over fences.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
It is difficult to predict a clear winner from this summary, but some horses that could potentially finish in the top three are 5/1 (4) O'TOOLE, 6/1 (11) BALLYKEEL, and 8/1 (12) ROUTINE EXCELLENCE.
It could prove significant that Daryl Jacob makes the journey to Killarney for just the sole ride on former Grade 1 bumper horse O'TOOLE. The seven-year-old made a very pleasing chasing debut at Wetherby in January, before doing little wrong when runner-up in a Grade 2 at Wetherby last time. Lightly raced and completely unexposed over fences, the Stuart Crawford-trained gelding looks nicely handicapped off a mark of 133. Ballykeel arrives here in good form having gone close in a competitive handicap at Punchestown last month. The Presenting gelding, who has been a model of consistency since going chasing, looks almost certain to play a leading role. Willie Mullins-trained topweights in races such as this are always to be feared, so Ramillies deserves close consideration.
BALLYKEEL was collared late at Punchestown last time but shaped as if comfortably ahead of his mark for most of the way, so he gets the narrow vote in this competitive event. Routine Excellence is a big danger and En Beton looks interesting back from an absence.

1st: 1.5/1 (9) MY GREAT MATE 2nd: 4/1 (4) CHICAGO STYLE 3rd: 3.33/1 (16) RAINBOW LILY
As a half-brother to Grade 1 winning mare Ashroe Diamond, the eye is immediately drawn to MY GREAT MATE. The Willie Mullins-trained gelding is also related to Take Tea, a mare that made a hugely impressive racecourse debut in a Naas bumper for the same stable. It would be a surprise if the four-year-old wasn't well forward for this introduction. D'jo Dela Barriere represents a trainer that has traditionally done well in bumpers at this track over the years, so he has to enter calculations. The fact that Sam Curling has booked leading amateur Derek O'Connor suggests that a big performance is expected. Tail Gunner could be an interesting outsider given the fact he is a well related gelding hailing from a family that has already produced a fair share of winners under rules.
MY GREAT MATE is related to several bumper winners and he couldn't be in better hands, so a winning debut would come as no surprise. Rainbow Lily shaped well at Punchestown and is a definite threat, along with Chicago Style representing an excellent Flat yard.
