Adare Manor Opportunity Handicap Hurdle (80-95)

Off time: 17:17 | Winning time: 4m 44.2s

Sierra Law^t²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: P D Kennedy| T: K Thornton| OR: 92

25/1

Just one win from 16 starts and that came on contrasting ground to what he will get here. In no sort of form this year and others rate as more likely winners.

Form: 0R-809P

Mister Butler^p,t¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: S A Mulcahy⁽⁴⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 90

16/1

Yet to win in 13 starts and fell over fences last time out. His better form has come on heavy ground and others preferred here.

Form: PF226-F

Bective Cave^t¹⁷⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: B Browne⁽²⁾| T: M J Smith| OR: 89

20/1

Two wins from 20 starts over hurdles. Back on a more feasible mark now but very little promise in two runs this year.

Form: 0860F6-

Zagnzig^h¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Katie O'Farrell⁽⁴⁾| T: H Smyth| OR: 89| D

9/2

One win from 18 starts under Rules but arrives here in better form than most after his success at Downpatrick two starts back. Not disgraced back at that course last time and has each-way claims here.

Form: 7548-16

Authorative^t³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Shane O'Callaghan⁽⁴⁾| T: A McCann| OR: 86| D

25/1

Two wins from 49 starts across both codes. Has run well in defeat on a couple of occasions over hurdles of late and not without place claims in this.

Form: 503-846

Cantkidakidder^b1¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Ricky Doyle⁽²⁾| T: N Dooly| OR: 86| D

3/1

One win from 22 starts but he's been unlucky not to get his head back in front in two recent outings at Wexford. Leading claims here with the possibility first-time blinkers will see him to better effect.

Form: 169-022

Dalmarella Dancer^p,h1²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: S A Shortall| T: D P Dunne| OR: 86

25/1

Last win came back in 2015 and he's looked a hard conveyance on a few recent runs. Hard to make much of a case for. Wears first-time hood.

Form: 9/85RP-0

Damut I'm Out⁶³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: J B Kane⁽⁴⁾| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 85

7/1

Point-to-point winner yet to win in six Rules starts. Produced a better effort at Uttoxeter last time and handicapper has given him a real chance here.

Form: 97907-3

The Same Again¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: D J McInerney| T: E P Harty| OR: 84

8/1

Yet to win in seven starts and tailed off last time out at Kilbeggan. Major improvement needed here.

Form: 00-5090

Ashbourne Allstar^p²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: K J Brouder⁽⁴⁾| T: P Rooney| OR: 82

25/1

Struggling for any sort of form and fell at Downpatrick last time when tried over fences. Looks particularly limited from an ability perspective.

Form: P/090-0F

Oromo^t²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: A W Short⁽²⁾| T: K Thornton| OR: 81

12/1

Showed some ability on the Flat for previous yard and produced a career best when runner-up at Down Royal three starts back in May. Hasn't really built on that in two subsequent efforts though.

Form: 000-927

Rudy Catrail⁴⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: R P Treacy⁽²⁾| T: E Sheehy| OR: 81

18/1

Point-to-point winner but yet to place in 10 starts under Rules. Hard to fancy at present.

Form: 089F-50

Forpaddythecaptain^b1,t⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: A McCurtin⁽²⁾| T: Eoin Barry| OR: 80

16/1

Shown nothing in nine starts over hurdles. Well beaten and tailed off last time at Down Royal and may make a better chaser. Wears first-time blinkers.

Form: 0/40P0-0

Hugh Divots^t²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: D Robinson| T: S J Mahon| OR: 80

12/1

Showed some ability for her previous yard and has shaped like she may have a win in her at some point on her efforts this year. Not entirely discounted despite still being a maiden in what is a moderate contest.

Form: 08-8586

Loch Luatha^p³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: D P Holden⁽⁴⁾| T: L Young| OR: 80

16/1

Point-to-point winner but still a maiden after 22 starts under Rules. His better efforts have largely come on softer ground and others preferred.

Form: 5228-64

The Crane Man^h1⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: C A Landers⁽⁴⁾| T: Thomas Coyle| OR: 80

20/1

Well beaten on all six starts to date, all at big prices and hard to make a case for here. Wears a first-time hood.

Form: 9/0080-P

Forecasts

Cantkidakidder (3/1), Zagnzig (9/2), Damut I'm Out (7/1), The Same Again (8/1), Oromo (12/1), Hugh Divots (12/1), Mister Butler (16/1), Loch Luatha (16/1), Forpaddythecaptain (16/1), Flemen Majic (16/1), Rudy Catrail (18/1), Bective Cave (20/1), Supreme One (20/1), Jeremys Hope (20/1), The Crane Man (20/1), Authorative (25/1), Sierra Law (25/1), Ashbourne Allstar (25/1), Dalmarella Dancer (25/1)

CANTKIDAKIDDER makes most appeal in a particularly modest encounter here and the fitting of first-time headgear may see him get his head back in front. Zagnzig has been in fair form of late and similar can be said for Authorative who may be capable of running in to a place.
