Storm Rising⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: D G Hogan| T: D Hogan| OR: 107

12/1

Twice a winner over 7f at Newbury back in 2015 in promising start to career for Richard Hannon, some fair efforts over timber without winning. Poor on return form break at Limerick (Flat) this month.

Crezic^h¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott| OR: 117| BF

7/4

Beaten favourite in two most recent starts in this sphere, latest at Ballinrobe (2m2f, heavy) this month when plugging on at one pace for 15½L third. Could be popular again and should have a race like this in him somewhere.

14/1

Maiden in point-to-points, pulled up on rules debut at Clonmel in December and off since. Plenty work to be done on that evidence.

Form: P57/2P-

Jp Dundee¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Kevin Sexton| T: P Nolan

66/1

Stowaway gelding out of a Lil's Boy mare related to Hidden Cyclone, Outlander and Champagne Fever. Didn't show much on debut in a bumper at Ballinrobe recently. Might need some time.

Dia Del Sol¹⁹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: C Brassil⁽⁵⁾| T: P Nolan

12/1

Useful Flat winner in Germany and stable capable of doing well with this type going hurdling. Market check needed on Irish bow.

Form:

Amschel

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: Miss Ellmarie Holden

12/1

Nathaniel gelding out of an unraced dam who was a half-sister to high-class 1m winner Darjina. Could have some promise going jumping.

Form:

Genepi De L'aube^h1

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: J P O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Rothwell

66/1

Kentucky Dynamite gelding whose dam was a hurdles winner over this sort of trip in France. Sports a hood on first outing over timber.

Form:

Luis Van Zandt

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: P E Corbett⁽³⁾| T: A J Martin

40/1

Scorpion gelding with a fairly unappealing pedigree, worth a market check on debut for this yard however.

Form:

Waterville Dancer²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: D J McInerney⁽⁵⁾| T: C Byrnes| BF

10/11

No win on the Flat but ran some promising races. Hasn't looked as good in two starts over timber but remains early days.

Form: 50-

Saint Irini^t¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: C D Maxwell| T: E D Delany

50/1

Sent off 33/1 on hurdles bow at Fairyhouse recently (2m, soft), French import will have to improve dramatically on that to land a blow today.

Form: 9-

Canford Lady⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: M J Bolger| T: S Fahey

66/1

Well held in Wexford juvenile hurdle on debut for this yard last month after an absence. Looks an unlikely winner.

Form: 8-

Edna¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: J J Slevin| T: J P O'Brien

20/1

Not unfancied at Ballinrobe this month on second hurdles start (2m2f, heavy) but unable to get competitive at the business end. Was similar on debut at Cork having been prominent in betting. Should be capable of better.

Forecasts

Waterville Dancer (10/11), Crezic (7/4), Ilikedwayurthinkin (13/2), Amschel (12/1), Storm Rising (12/1), Dia Del Sol (12/1), Hitdroadjack (14/1), Organised Solution (16/1), Edna (20/1), Luis Van Zandt (40/1), Saint Irini (50/1), Canford Lady (66/1), Jp Dundee (66/1), Genepi De L'aube (66/1)

Having found only one too good on his second start in this sphere at Limerick this could be third time lucky for ILIKEDWAYURTHINKIN. He showed plenty promise in that run and makes more appeal than Crezic, who should get a winner sooner or later but is risky at a short price on what we've seen already. Dia Del Sol is noted on firs start while Edna and Waterville Dancer are potential improvers.
