Pat Halley Architects Maiden Hurdle

Off time: 18:01 | Winning time: 3m 52.40s

Getgo⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: A E Lynch| T: K H Clarke

10/1

Modest 62-rated Flat handicapper who is currently one from 14 starts on turf. Watching brief for first experience over hurdles here.

Form:

Hitchcock^p¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean O'Keeffe⁽⁷⁾| T: Barry J Murphy

10/1

Formerly with Kevin Ryan when a 65-rated handicapper. Has disappointed in two starts for current connections and possibly best watched on hurdling debut.

Form:

Ourauldman⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead

7/4

Finished behind Chasing Abbey on debut in a Killarney bumper last month before suffering a shuddering 69L defeat in a Roscommon bumper earlier this month. Hard to fancy.

Form: 40

Stander³⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: A W Short⁽⁵⁾| T: P Stafford

50/1

Disappointing six-race maiden for trainer-John McConnell. Makes stable and hurdling debut here but looks a long-term prospect. May struggle in this company.

Form:

Stubborn Logic⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: D J McInerney⁽³⁾| T: J Halley

20/1

Failed to finish in sole point-to-point start in May, weakened over two furlongs out in a 2m½f Roscommon bumper earlier this month. Very little to be positive about on hurdling introduction.

Form: U0

Teqany²⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Danny Mullins| T: A J Black

10/1

Six-race maiden for trainer Owen Burrows before disappointing in two starts for Ger Lyons. Missed debut at Roscommon earlier this month for coughing, so not one to fully trust on hurdling and stable debut.

Form:

The Hunter Hoe

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Ricky Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: C O'Dwyer

14/1

Jeremy gelding out of a Jimble mare. Half-brother to useful types Unison and Our Kylie as well as Triumph hurdle winner Our Conor. Market likely to reveal expectations.

Form:

Whereyounow³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Phillip Enright| T: R Sweeney

40/1

Nothing of note in a couple of maiden hurdle spins since April suffering heavy defeats on both occasions. May struggle once again.

Form: 6-0

Ahgetawayoutadat

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: R Loughran| T: Miss E Doyle

8/1

Getaway filly out of a Jamesmead mare. Half-sister to Getabird and Verdana Blue. Market to be informative on racecourse debut.

Form:

Allora Yeats^t³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Sean Flanagan| T: Miss S J Harty

8/1

Not much to shout about in a five-race career on the Flat and will need to raise overall profile to play a role here.

Form:

Arctic Sofia^t1¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Donagh Meyler| T: G J Power

5/1

Well held and has finished down the field in a couple of maiden hurdle starts since last month. Vast improvement needed to play a role here in first-time tongue-tie.

Form: 50

On The Mill²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: S A Shortall⁽³⁾| T: J Halley

100/1

Finished ninth of 12 beaten 51L on debut in a 2m Wexford bumper last month. Looks a tall order on hurdling debut.

Form: 9

Seapoint¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: D Robinson⁽³⁾| T: J J Hanlon

20/1

Low-rated Flat handicapper well held beaten 39L on a tough debut in a 2m½f novice hurdle at the Galway festival. Interesting runner who requires a market check.

Form: 7

Vinabell^t⁹

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

25/1

Well beaten and no impression in two dour maiden hurdle performances since last month. Needs to show significant improvement in this company.

Form: 009

Non-Runners

Rebellito³³⁷

Weight: 11-7| Age: 4

T: W P Mullins J: Ruby Walsh

Forecasts

Rebellito (4/6), Ourauldman (7/4), Arctic Sofia (5/1), Allora Yeats (8/1), Ahgetawayoutadat (8/1), Teqany (10/1), Hitchcock (10/1), Getgo (10/1), The Hunter Hoe (14/1), Seapoint (20/1), Stubborn Logic (20/1), Vinabell (25/1), Whereyounow (40/1), Stander (50/1), On The Mill (100/1)

Winner of two of his six career starts on the Flat in France REBELLITO is the choice for the leading stable from five entries they had in the race at the five-day stage. The debutante can see off fellow debutante's The Hunter Hoe and Ahgetawayoutadat in a field where the experienced runner make little or no appeal.
