1st (17)  (5/4 +38%)Jade De Grugy |
5/4(+38%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (17) Jade De Grugy 5/4, Won 14-runner maiden bumper at Saint-Brieuc by length from Joyeuse Mome back in October 2022. Sold for €230,000 soon after and she has to be respected having joined Willie Mullins ahead of this hurdling debut. Easy winner of 1m4f AQPS race in France last year, almost sure to be involved. |
|||
2nd (3)  (3/1 +25%)Butcher Hollow |
3/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Butcher Hollow 3/1, Promising type. Won bumper at Galway in October. Second of 26 in maiden at Navan (16f, heavy, 5/2) on hurdles bow 19 days ago. Up in trip and surely won't be long in getting back to winning ways for all there looks a few nice types in this. Point and bumper winner, beaten by a smart horse on hurdling debut, strong contender now. |
|||
3rd (15)  (10/1 +9%)Whale Harbour |
10/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Whale Harbour 10/1, Showed some ability when fifth of 19 in maiden hurdle (10/3) at Down Royal (16.9f, soft) on debut 47 days ago. Might have gone close but for a bad mistake when fifth on hurdling debut at Down Royal. |
|||
4th (16)  (16/1 -78%)Cobra Queen |
16/1(-78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) Cobra Queen 16/1, Winning pointer. 11/1, third of 12 in maiden hurdle at Wexford (20f, heavy) on NH debut 41 days ago. Will stay further than 2½m and is open to improvement. Point winner, meets tougher opposition than when third on hurdling debut at Wexford. |
|||
5th (5)  (9/2 +25%)Gold In The Rivers |
9/2(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Gold In The Rivers 9/2, €220,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Half-brother to numerous winners, including useful hurdler/chase winner Wait For Me, stayed 23f, and French hurdler chaser Yoneti. Dam 12.5f/13.5f winner on Flat in France. Half-brother to six winners, cost E220,000 at the 2022 Derby Sale, one for the shortlist. |
|||
6th (12)  (100/1 -203%)Pax |
100/1(-203%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Pax 100/1, Well-held eighth of 19 in maiden hurdle (33/1) at Punchestown (19.4f, soft) on debut 33 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Jumping was ragged on his debut at Punchestown, likely to need more experience. |
|||
7th (7)  (150/1 -50%)Jerk |
150/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Jerk 150/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Fourteenth of 24 in maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, soft, 125/1) 26 days ago. Back up in trip. Looks to have been brought along with handicaps in mind. Fair fifth at Limerick on penultimate start, little apparent chance an overall form. |
|||
8th (13)  (66/1 -100%)Slieve Carran |
66/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Slieve Carran 66/1, 9/2, fourth of 8 in bumper at Punchestown (16.8f, heavy) 16 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Point bumper, best of his three bumper runs when second at Thurles, below best on latest. |
|||
9th (2)  (100/1 -100%)Bossofthebrownies |
100/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bossofthebrownies 100/1, Ocovango gelding. Dam (h75), little impact in bumpers/over hurdles, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 3m) Dromnea. Dam did not show much but is a half-sister to Dromnea who won four races for this stable. |
|||
10th (8)  (9/2 +68%)Joyeux Vivo |
9/2(+68%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Joyeux Vivo 9/2, Failed to build on the promise of hurdling debut when sixth of 16 in maiden hurdle (3/1) at Thurles (16.5f, good to soft) 4 weeks ago, unable to sustain effort. Up in trip. Definite promise in a bumper and on hurdling debut; low-key run at Thurles on latest. |
|||
11th (10)  (200/1 -300%)Muskerry Rock |
200/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Muskerry Rock 200/1, 33/1, thirteenth of 16 in bumper at Punchestown (16.4f, good to soft) on debut. Off 8 months. Makes hurdles debut. Up in trip. Likely to need time. Never involved in a bumper at Punchestown on his only start last season, trip should suit. |
|||
12th (6)  (125/1 -279%)Jack Du Large |
125/1(-279%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Jack Du Large 125/1, Went backwards from hurdling debut when eleventh of 26 in maiden hurdle (50/1) at Navan (16f, heavy) 19 days ago. Back up in trip. Jack Kennedy seemingly prefers Gold In The Rivers. Well held by Butcher Hollow on running at Navan, stable's second-string here. |
|||
13th (19)  (50/1 -52%)Miss Gherkin |
50/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (19) Miss Gherkin 50/1, Modest in bumpers and matched that when fourth of 12 in maiden (40/1) at Tramore (16.2f, soft) on hurdles bow 30 days ago. Up in trip. Some ability in bumpers and also when fourth in a maiden hurdle at Tramore, huge task here. |
|||
14th (11)  (250/1 +0%)Notnowboy |
250/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Notnowboy 250/1, Tailed off in maiden hurdle (125/1) at Gowran (16f, heavy) on debut 47 days ago. Up in trip. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Huge price when completely tailed off in a 2m maiden hurdle at Gowran, cheekpieces on now. |

|||

250/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (18) Little Hero 250/1, Jumped left and fell first in maiden hurdle (250/1) at Navan (16f, heavy) 19 days ago. Up in trip. 250-1 shot when fell at first in Navan maiden in which Butchers Hollow was second. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
JADE DE GRUGY comfortably won a 1m4f French bumper in October 2022 and was purchased later that month for 230,000 euro by current connections. The Doctor Dino filly is out of an unraced half-sister to Champion Chase winner Sire De Grugy. Riding arrangements suggest Gold In The Rivers, who cost 220,000 euro at the Derby Sale last year and is a Walk In The Park half-brother to six winners, is preferred of Gordon Elliott's pair while Queen Of Seduction won twice on the Flat including on testing ground at Gowran and is another interesting recruit to hurdles. Butcher Hollow, second to Jigoro in a 26-runner maiden at Navan, merits respect, while Cobra Queen and Joyeux Vivo are others with some hurdle experience to consider.
A serious case of quantity over quality in this opener with bumper-winner BUTCHER HOLLOW selected to go one better than on hurdling debut at Navan earlier in the month. Jade de Grugy is sure to be popular having joined Willie Mullins for €230,000 after winning a bumper in France back in October 2022 so she may emerge as the main danger, with Henry de Bromhead's pair Rosalys and Cobra Queen also fancied to feature.
The Willie Mullins-trained Jade De Grugy is likely to be popular, but the jumping experience gained by BUTCHER HOLLOW may be vital

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.
