Fairyhouse Members 2019 Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 13:37 | Winning time: 6m 15.9s

Boot Camp^h¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR: 129

14/1

Has won three of his nine races this season, including winning a Bellewstown handicap hurdle (2m4f, good) off a 7lb lower mark in August. Mixing hurdles and fences since, disappointing at Punchestown 12 days ago, now tackles 3m for the first time.

Form: 418139

Satoshi¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott| OR: 125

2/1

Awarded race after finishing second over 2m6f on hurdles debut at Punchestown in November, solid effort last time at Leopardstown in Pertemps Handicap Qualifier on first attempt over 3m, should give a decent account.

Form: 9-1384

Jack Fiasco^p¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: R M Power| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 118

6/1

Good-ground winner over 2m4½f at Punchestown in the summer, though mixed bag of form since. Stays this far, but underwhelming effort last time at Punchestown, long way adrift of Satoshi on that evidence.

Form: 062370

Kalum River¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: D J Mullins| T: P A Fahy| OR: 120

13/2

0-3 in maiden hurdles, not without promise in that sequence but must take a step forward now tackling 3m for the first time if hoping to have claims of a share of prize money today.

Form: 1-22265

Vision D'Ete^b,t¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: Sean Flanagan| T: N Meade| OR: 115

11/1

Generally well held in five handicap starts since winning his maiden at Cork 13-months ago. Competitive in first-time blinkers (retained) at Limerick (3m, heavy) recently on first attempt at this trip. Needs a bit extra to defy current rating.

Form: 1P-0505

Brosna George^t²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: Paul Townend| T: A L T Moore| OR: 110| C| D

5/1

Thriving since joining this yard, now 2-4 having scored last month over 2m7f at this track with a bit in hand. Up 9lb for his troubles but one to take seriously in current mood.

Form: 2521F1

Vanellope¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: J M Moore| T: P Croke| OR: 110

8/1

Ballinrobe winner over 2m4f in September, didn't run badly one start since at Leopardstown (2m4f, good to yielding) over Christmas having gone up 6lb. Inched up another pound here and slight doubt lingers over this 3m trip.

Form: 570-013

Shar Whats Therush^t¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Phillip Enright| T: D Hassett| OR: 102| C

8/1

Winner here over 2m4f in November 2017, disappointing efforts since before a better run at Limerick (2m5f, soft) when second over Christmas in a handicap. Has gone up 2lb for that, and needs career-best to land this.

Form: 01F8-02

Forecasts

Satoshi (2/1), Brosna George (5/1), Jack Fiasco (6/1), Kalum River (13/2), Shar Whats Therush (8/1), Vanellope (8/1), Vision D'Ete (11/1), Boot Camp (14/1)

BROSNA GEORGE has found a new lease of life since joining his current trainer, with two wins in four starts. The handicapper has slapped a hefty rise on for his most recent win but, in his current mood, he might well defy that assessment. Satoshi put in a fine effort at Leopardstown in a competitive heat on his first try at this trip and rates the big danger. Kalum River and Vision D'Ete may fight it out for the minors.
