Pat Doyle Memorial Maiden Hurdle

Off time: 17:05 | Winning time: 4m 29.7s

All For Nothing^p¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: C D Maxwell| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 112

5/1

Lightly-raced maiden over timber, improving all the time including when runner-up over 2m2f here recently. Fair claims of going one better.

Form: 88352

Anytime Now⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G Elliott| OR: 114| BF| C

9/2

Seven-race maiden hurdler who has not been disgraced in a number of starts since May, twice making the frame over this trip at Perth and Down Royal. Should get involved at the business end.

Form: 3-04233

Archer's Up⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: G N Fox| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 117

11/4

Second at Killarney (2m1f, good) late last month in fourth start over timber, since run well again on the Flat at the Curragh. Should give a decent account.

Form: 5502

Kildorrery^h²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr M J Stenson⁽⁷⁾| T: T M Walsh

20/1

Winner of a bumper at Tramore in December, can often take a keen hold in races and did just that over 2m here last month on seasonal bow. Faded out from the front and surely must settle better to have a chance.

Form: FB168-7

Mountain Ranger^t¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: M J Bolger| T: S Byrne| CD

28/1

Pulled up having gone off a big price on hurdles bow at Galway last month over 2m5f, since dropped to 2m around here but didn't jump fluently and lacked a gear change.

Form: 3158-P6

Bygones For Coins^t³²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-5| J: Alison Jean Clarke⁽⁷⁾| T: Kenny Johnson| OR: 74

100/1

0-23 so far over hurdles (made the frame on five occasions). Been out of form in couple of recent Flat starts and doesn't make great appeal now.

Form: 0083P2-

Plan Of Attack¹¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Brian Hayes| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 106

13/8

Third over C&D in April and again ran well enough at Clonmel in May (6½L third of 15) on only start since. Could be more to come and worth a check for strong yard.

Form: 1/5-33

Where Now^p¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Ricky Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: W J Lanigan

50/1

Gelding by Where Or When out of a Lord Americo mare. Failed to finish in five of his six point-to-point starts. Beaten 24L on rules bow at Tramore last month over 2m5f and has work to do.

Form: 6UFFU-8

Carrigaloe¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: N T Prendergast⁽⁷⁾| T: Eric Larkin

100/1

Sent off 100/1 here last month over 2m on second hurdles start. Never really that fluent and distress coming a long way from home. Tough ask again seemingly.

Form: U-00

Stander²²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: S A Shortall⁽³⁾| T: P Stafford

66/1

Disappointing six-race maiden for trainer-John McConnell. Always towards rear on hurdling and stable debut last month and others preferred.

Form: 0

Gemma's Flame⁹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: J B Kane⁽⁵⁾| T: H P Finegan

25/1

Only modest in point-to-points but turned in a good effort on debut when third to Sapphire Lady at Ballinrobe in a bumper in May. Not as good next time at Downpatrick but makes hurdles bow having won a point-to-point last time out, check betting.

Form: P37F7-1

Non-Runners

Lisclogher Flyer

Weight: 11-4| Age: 5

T: P W Flynn J: P E Corbett

Forecasts

Plan Of Attack (13/8), Archer's Up (11/4), Anytime Now (9/2), All For Nothing (5/1), Lisclogher Flyer (14/1), Kildorrery (20/1), Gemma's Flame (25/1), Mountain Ranger (28/1), Where Now (50/1), Stander (66/1), Carrigaloe (100/1), Bygones For Coins (100/1)

ANYTIME NOW won a bumper here last summer emphatically and has started to shape as if a breakthrough is imminent over timber. A return to this track might just help him crack it. Archer's Up ran a fine race at Killarney over timber (second) before a decent run on the Flat at the Curragh and needs close scrutiny while Plan Of Attack and All For Nothing both have track form that marks them down as likely to get involved again.
