Freddie Doyle Memorial & Liz Doyle Racing Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 16:06 | Winning time: 6m 46.60s

Full Cry^t¹²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: A E Lynch| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 120

10/1

Last win came almost two years ago and it is three years since his last win over hurdles. Nicely treated here compared to his chase mark, but he would make a more convincing case on better ground.

Form: P/50257-

Irish Bulletin^t²⁰⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Mr L P Gilligan⁽⁷⁾| T: E McNamara| OR: 118| C| D

50/1

Finished 2016 in brilliant form but hasn't really happened in seven runs since and he has been absent since October.

Form: 4/02PP7-

Deputy's Pass¹²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: D F O'Regan| T: A Fleming| OR: 113| D

25/1

Lightly-raced nine-year-old, gained first chase win at fourth attempt over 3m1f at Gowran Park in September. Interesting back over hurdles at this trip.

Form: 4/78310-

Glendine River²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: D J McInerney⁽⁵⁾| T: Dermot P O'Brien| OR: 113

14/1

Gained a fourth Tramore success last time, but every possibility Carrigready might turn the tables around this circuit on today's terms.

Form: 8663P1-

Maeve's Choice^p1⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: R P Treacy⁽⁵⁾| T: M J Smith| OR: 112

20/1

Took a Fairyhouse maiden but the form of that hardly justifies his current handicap mark. Well beaten last time and cheekpieces added.

Form: 44P16-

Toushan²²

Age: 11| Weight: 11-2| J: R Loughran| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 112

8/1

Travelled well for a long way last time before proving no match for the winner. His hurdles mark looks attractive and he can give a good account.

Form: F/18432-

Wait Here^t¹¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Mark Walsh| T: A Leahy| OR: 112

14/1

Lightly raced sort makes his handicap bow over a significantly longer trip. Pedigree indicates he should stay and not overburdened on handicap debut.

Form: PF1122-

Castafiore Park¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: B J Cooper| T: P Nolan| OR: 108| D

8/1

Form of her Limerick victory has taken plenty of knocks and she was soundly beaten last time on handicap debut.

Form: 523210-

Guided By You^b1⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Sean Flanagan| T: N Meade| OR: 107| D

8/1

Recorded a slow time when scoring on desperate ground in January. Has never been a fluent jumper and that has seen his limitations exposed on three starts since. Blinkers applied now.

Form: 4120P-

Carrigready^p²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Phillip Enright| T: V Halley| OR: 106

10/1

In good form lately and was just collared by Tramore specialist Glendine River last time. May turn the tables on that rival around here and over this longer trip. Should be thereabouts.

Form: 093142-

Ronald Pump^t²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: A W Short⁽⁵⁾| T: M J Smith| OR: 103

8/1

Has produced a number of laboured performances since returning to the track in October and he refused last time. Looks opposable.

Form: 08374R-

Benefit Of Magic^t³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: R M Power| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 101

6/1

Eight-race maiden who has been found lacking for pace in recent races. Up in trip and open to improvement as a consequence.

Form: 062327-

Capture The Drama⁵⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-3| J: A Ring⁽³⁾| T: Aengus King| OR: 99| C| D

25/1

Has had a torrid time of it since winning a Fairyhouse handicap chase on New Years Day. Pulled up last time and one to have reservations about.

Form: 19PP9P-

Nerual¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Mr S F O'Keeffe⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss E Doyle| OR: 98

4/1

Has proven consistent in staying handicap hurdles, although she remains a maiden after 19 outings and she is in a better race than last time.

Form: 9242U2-

Forecasts

Nerual (4/1), Benefit Of Magic (6/1), Castafiore Park (8/1), Toushan (8/1), Ronald Pump (8/1), Guided By You (8/1), Carrigready (10/1), Full Cry (10/1), Glendine River (14/1), Wait Here (14/1), Maeve's Choice (20/1), Deputy's Pass (25/1), Capture The Drama (25/1), Irish Bulletin (50/1)

Carrigready and Glendine River are closely matched on the book following their recent Tramore clash. The latter is a specialist there and may have her work cut out to confirm the form around here and over this trip. Benefit of Magic is a likely improver over this trip and Deputy's Pass won a chase over this trip and could improve on past hurdling performances. WAIT HERE is by Presenting out of a dam who is related to winning stayers so it would seem likely he will progress for the longer distance. His form reads well enough and his second to 126-rated Monotype puts him on a most attractive mark for his handicap debut.
