AJC Group Ladies Upstyle Hair Competition Win A Trip To Nice Beginners Chase

Off time: 17:07 | Winning time: 4m 48.30s

Ardview Boy¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Liam McKenna⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Lambe

40/1

Remains a maiden after 23 attempts under rules, well held in three dismal displays since last month and likely to struggle again.

Form: 73-0890

Caltex^p²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott

8/11

Improved on chasing debut performance when finishing second of 14 beaten over 3L in a 2m6½f contest on soft ground at the Galway festival. Another bold show looks likely.

Form: 216-042

Celebrity Status²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Ricky Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: C O'Dwyer

11/1

Lightly and intermittent racer, remains a seven-race maiden over hurdles and plenty to prove in this tricky contest.

Form: 4356-08

Lisnagreggan²⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: J B Kane⁽⁵⁾| T: S Millar

50/1

Has appeared genuine and tough in a number of point-to-point contests in the spring but is opposable on the basis of a couple of career starts under rules since when well below-par.

Form: 53-224U

Orion D'Aubrelle⁹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins

7/4

Fourth of 25 in a Grade B handicap hurdle at Punchestown before a promising fifth of 15 in a Ballinrobe beginners contest over 2m3½f when last seen in May. Second in that contest Rashaan has subsequently won at the Galway festival.

Form: 15/504-5

Triolet³⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr N McParlan⁽³⁾| T: C A McBratney

16/1

Sixth of eight well beaten over 100L on chasing debut last month in a mistake-filled round. Will need to tidy up his jumping.

Form: 720F-56

Unchago^t¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: A E Lynch| T: M M McNiff

16/1

Modest hurdler who was well held on return to the track following a years break and has plenty to prove at present.

Form: 483-4

Bonnie Lily¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: W J Burke

50/1

Not much to shout about in a couple of maiden hurdle spins for new connections and unlikely to be playing a part in the finish here on chasing introduction.

Form: 4-49660

Forecasts

Caltex (8/11), Orion D'Aubrelle (7/4), Celebrity Status (11/1), Unchago (16/1), Triolet (16/1), Ardview Boy (40/1), Lisnagreggan (50/1), Bonnie Lily (50/1)

While there will be plenty of support for the Willie Mullins-trained Orion D'Aubrelle, Galway Festival runner-up, CALTEX can continue his development here potentially making up to be a promising prospect over the larger obstacles and can get off the mark here at the third time of asking for leading connections. 117-rated handicap hurdler Triolet appears to be the best of the rest of a ordinary looking bunch.
