Your Clubs Fundraiser At Fairyhouse, Enquire Today Handicap Hurdle (80-95) (Div 1)

Off time: 13:50 | Winning time: 5m 33.80s

Dr Waluigi^t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Donagh Meyler⁽³⁾| T: E Doyle| OR: 95

9/2

Still a maiden after 13 starts under rules but placed at Limerick on his last start and plenty of promise in that run. Still relatively early days and like to get his head in front in this kind event sooner or later.

Form: 94425-0

Like A Flash¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: A W Short⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hackett| OR: 95

16/1

Tailed off or failed to finish on four starts under rules and looks limited ability wise.

Among The Stars^b1³³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: G N Fox| T: F J Flood| OR: 90

50/1

Little promise in maidens and pulled up on handicap bow at Fairyhouse in April. Shaped better than the bare result when 13th of 16 last time but plenty more needed in here.

Form: 5/000P-

Diggin Deep¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: D J Mullins| T: M McCullagh| OR: 90

12/1

Unplaced on six starts under rules to date and needs to brush up on his jumping but shaped okay last time and shouldn't be completely dismissed.

Form: 0U578-0

Rapid Fritz^t⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: M P Flanagan⁽⁵⁾| T: G Keane| OR: 89

6/1

Good second last time out at Punchestown and the fourth from that race has come out and performed well since. 2lb rise for that effort looks fair and proven in the conditions so ought to go close once again.

Form: 653286-

Wee Small Hours^t¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: D J Hand⁽⁷⁾| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 88

5/1

Clear of the rest when second in Limerick handicap over 2m3f in testing ground two starts back but showed very little at Navan last time and prone to jumping errors so others preferred.

Form: 306442

Be My Vinnie²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: E O'Connell⁽⁷⁾| T: E O'Connell| OR: 87

14/1

Unplaced on seven starts to date and jockeys strike rate stands at just 2.8% so hard to fancy.

Form: 756-057

Mount Masada²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Jack Kennedy| T: D E Fitzgerald| OR: 87

15/2

C&D winner who got off the mark when 3lb lower than this in 2015. Interrupted career since though and not in that kind of form recently.

Form: 000B5P-

Western Goose²⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-3| J: B Browne⁽⁷⁾| T: V C Ward| OR: 86

16/1

Hurdles and chase winner but those performances came on good ground and seems an unlikely winner in these conditions.

Form: 659001-

Paleos Du Charmil^t²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: J M Moore| T: P Nolan| OR: 87

10/1

Unplaced on four starts under rules but some promise on final start when held up. Likely to need plenty more here though.

Form: 006P2-P

Johns Choice³²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: C M Collins⁽⁷⁾| T: S J Kenny| OR: 82

10/1

Will need to jump better than on final start at Limerick and trainer not had a winner in the last 12 months.

Form: 987508-

Bective Cave^t⁴³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-11| J: Robbie Colgan| T: M J Smith| OR: 80

16/1

Unseated his rider early on stable debut at Fairyhouse on New Years Day. Unplaced on seven attempts in this sphere; went off too hard last time and better than that but may not be good enough to take a hand here.

Form: 0/U0P46-

Cherryantor^t¹⁵

Age: 13| Weight: 10-11| J: M J Bolger| T: Ms H P Markham| OR: 80

33/1

Failed to complete or tailed off on last few starts and not shown any form since 2014 so opposable here off the back of a lengthy absence.

Form: 000U8-0

Country Capers^t1²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Danny Mullins| T: S Ryan| OR: 80

33/1

Has failed to make any sort of impression on seven starts to date and trainer has had just one winner in the last year (from 37 runners).

Form: 70/00P-8

Crack On Corrie¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: D Robinson⁽⁵⁾| T: W J Austin| OR: 80

14/1

Unplaced on all nine career starts and only minor promise in two recent runs. Talented claimer booked and he will need to be worth every ounce of his 5 lb claim.

Form: 0P0720-

The Pine Martin^p²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: S A Mulcahy⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 80

14/1

Best efforts have come in these sorts of conditions but place claims and best and yet to win a race from 18 starts.

Forecasts

Dr Waluigi (9/2), Wee Small Hours (5/1), Rapid Fritz (6/1), Mount Masada (15/2), Johns Choice (10/1), Paleos Du Charmil (10/1), Diggin Deep (12/1), Rock On Barney (12/1), Crack On Corrie (14/1), Be My Vinnie (14/1), The Pine Martin (14/1), Western Goose (16/1), Like A Flash (16/1), Bective Cave (16/1), Cherryantor (33/1), Country Capers (33/1), Among The Stars (50/1)

RAPID FRITZ was a little unlucky last time and a 2lb rise for that defeat is fair. Dr Waluigi has claims if he can build on his recent placed effort and Diggin Deep get's the services of David Mullins here and if he jumps better, he could grab a place with this man in the saddle. 1. Rapid Fritz 2. Dr Waluigi 3. Diggin Deep
