Coast Rosslare Strand Handicap Hurdle (80-95) (Div 2)

Off time: 15:42 | Winning time: 4m 8.5s

Creasted Court³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Brian Hayes| T: M Winters| OR: 90

14/1

Showed glimpses in first three over hurdles but never a factor when 11th of 13 on handicap bow at Cork so handicap likely too high at present.

Form: 6780

Russellstown^h²²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-3| J: Mr L P Gilligan⁽⁷⁾| T: R Donohoe| OR: 86

20/1

Got within 3L of Mick Jazz over hurdles once upon a time but his recent form makes less pleasant reading, including finishing 11th of 13 beaten 35L behind Scotch Quay here earlier this month. May struggle once again.

Form: 9090F0

Sharp As A Pin⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Sarah Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: R K Watson| OR: 85

16/1

Made little impact in first two starts over hurdles and under pressure when falling last time out. First handicap today but not seen enough persuasive evidence to recommend.

Form: 00F

Trenchtown Rock⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: C J Orr⁽⁵⁾| T: V T O'Brien| OR: 85| CD

8/1

C&D winner in September has failed to kick on from that in three subsequent starts. Only 2lb higher here than that win on first run back at this course since so wouldn't rule out a return to form.

Form: 051008

Wild Desire^p¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Sean O'Keeffe⁽⁷⁾| T: P Nolan| OR: 85| D

5/2

Pretty consistent for all she's only won once. Returned from six months off latest with a close up fourth of 16 at Ballinrobe. Capable of making presence felt but showers forecast and wouldn't want too many to fall.

Form: 453574

Taggle Og^h,t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: E O'Connell⁽⁵⁾| T: E O'Connell| OR: 84

8/1

Unplaced in 11 now although close up fourth to Scotch Quay here two starts back would give her every chance. Poor effort since but perhaps that due to going off in-front over 2m5f. Can bounce back at this trip and go well.

Form: 80774P

Onefortherose^t²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Flanagan| T: D H Kelly| OR: 83

16/1

Had been out the back in her first three completed starts but offered little more latest in a handicap here when a remote eighth of 13. Best watched for now.

Form: 80B08

Saint Irini⁶²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: C D Maxwell| T: E D Delany| OR: 83

12/1

25/1 winner at Navan last season before running as if high enough the next twice. Hurdles run this winter non-descript and suspect she is still too high in the handicap at present.

Form: 9-809P7

My Forever Friend⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 10-12| J: Mr T Hamilton⁽⁵⁾| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 81

7/1

18-race maiden who is still without a win over hurdles despite 16 attempts. Well held on last start over timber at Ballinrobe and no factor over fences latest. Not getting any younger either.

Form: P52466

De Bennette³⁶¹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-11| J: T Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: J Grace| OR: 80

16/1

Seven-race maiden hurdler. Has pulled up and finished tailed off in two handicap hurdle starts to date. Not seen for over 11 months and easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 64P5/P-7

Qery^b³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: J P O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 80

33/1

Very little to recommend him on overall profile (0-10 so far) and after failing to complete in recent starts at Punchestown (fell) and Limerick (pulled up), both over 3m+ he was well beaten at Cork when 13th of 15.

Form: P/0-9FP0

Shantelle¹²⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 10-11| J: Katie O'Farrell⁽⁵⁾| T: R Donohoe| OR: 80

20/1

Appeared to have a torrid time of it in a number of heavy defeats between November and December last year. Easy to look elsewhere on return from three month lay-off.

Form: 099P00

Tsarina Sophia²²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: D J McInerney⁽³⁾| T: Diarmuid P Ryan| OR: 80

12/1

14-race maiden but ran probably her best race to date latest when fifth off this mark over C&D latest (Taggle Og fourth). No reason she can't back that effort up and rates an each-way possible.

Form: PU6U05

Her Approval¹⁰³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: K J Brouder⁽⁵⁾| T: T Mullins| OR: 87

8/1

Disappointing five-race maiden on the Flat and has continued to disappoint in four modest hurdle starts since November. Others preferred.

Form: 0000

Forecasts

Wild Desire (5/2), My Forever Friend (7/1), Trenchtown Rock (8/1), Taggle Og (8/1), Her Approval (8/1), Tsarina Sophia (12/1), Saint Irini (12/1), Creasted Court (14/1), Doo Wakka Doo (14/1), Onefortherose (16/1), De Bennette (16/1), Sharp As A Pin (16/1), Shantelle (20/1), Russellstown (20/1), Inchidaly Breeze (20/1), Robin Gold (20/1), Qery (33/1)

A fiendishly difficult race this but many of these probably won't ever win a race over hurdles so C&D winner TRENCHTOWN ROCK certainly boasts some of the best credentials despite not really performing since then. Wild Desire reappeared with a good effort latest and should also make her presence felt here. Taggle Og is another with some sort of chance having run well here two starts back.
