Summer BBQ Evenings Maiden Hurdle

Off time: 13:51 | Winning time: 3m 58.00s

Brawler²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: D G Hogan| T: D Hogan

6/1

Won a maiden on Heavy ground for Andre Fabre in France over 1m4f and was sold shortly after for £31,000. Very good hurdling debut for this yard when beaten a head over C&D last month and has to be a major player with that experience behind him.

Form: 2-

Dollar Value²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: C D Maxwell| T: T G McCourt

100/1

60 rated 7f winner on the Flat when with Robert Cowell but untried beyond 1m and stamina doubts for this debut hurdling.

Form:

Ellipsism⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: P W O'Reilly⁽⁷⁾| T: J P O'Brien

50/1

Only sent off 7/1 for Racecourse debut as recently as Monday but didn't get beyond midfield at Down Royal and needs to improve a good deal in short space of time.

Foveros³⁹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins

4/9

Won over 1m1f on the Flat when last seen just over a year ago. Now makes hurdling debut for powerful yard and won't have to be anything special to play a part in the finish. Market should be revealing.

Form:

Fumet D'Oudairies¹²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean Flanagan| T: Miss E Doyle

16/1

Well backed 7/2 shot on Bumper debut in January when 5L fourth of nine. Improvement expected now going hurdling and worth monitoring in betting.

Form: 4-

Kos¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: C P McNamara⁽⁷⁾| T: A Fleming

100/1

Beaten miles in a pair of 2m4f hurdles last month and impossible to fancy on evidence of those two runs.

Form: 90-

Messerati Kid^b,t⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr L P Gilligan⁽⁷⁾| T: P W Flynn

100/1

Yet to reach the frame on the Flat or two attempts over hurdles and not hard to look elsewhere.

Form: 00-

Miami Beach⁷⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: J S McGarvey| T: J P O'Brien

20/1

Seventh of 20 on Navan debut in March when let down by novicey errors. Capable of improvement further down the line.

Form: 7-

My Lovely Boy²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Gavin Brouder⁽⁷⁾| T: T P O'Connor

66/1

100/1 both starts to date but definite improvement from debut run when seventh over C&D on second run. Handicaps after this may be the best option.

Form: 07-

Nero Rock¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: M F Morris

16/1

Glimmer of ability in three Bumper runs and hurdling debut last time was not without hope. Open to improvement under top jockey.

Form: 965-0

Nibiru^t²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: E O'Connell⁽⁷⁾| T: A J Martin

8/1

81 rated winner on the Flat (stays 1m4f). Very good third in big field on second start over hurdles at Christmas and won't need to build on that by much to take a hand here.

Form: 63-

Novel Character⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Brian Hayes| T: J J Hanlon

100/1

No ability to date on the Flat or in this sphere and very hard to make a case for.

Form: 0U9-

Tomeric¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: R P Treacy⁽⁵⁾| T: E McNamara

100/1

100/1 on racecourse debut last week but offered some encouragement with midfield finish which gives some hope for the future.

Form: 6-

Vocal Relation¹⁰⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: A W Short⁽⁵⁾| T: D A McLoughlin

100/1

Regressive maiden on the Flat where he has tried trip from 6f to 1m2f and shown little all occasions.

Form:

Wayfarer⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: M P Burke⁽⁷⁾| T: J P O'Brien

25/1

Like stable companion Ellipsism, made debut debut on Monday when finishing 3L ahead of that one in mid division when starting at similar odds. Like that rival, needs to take a step forward.

Form: 7

Arizona Flyer²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: D J McInerney⁽³⁾| T: M Winters

66/1

Nibbled at big price last time but didn't show a great deal of improvement on third run over hurdles and readily passed over.

Form: 0070-

Hunter¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Phillip Enright| T: G J Power

100/1

16/1 when pulled up on racecourse debut just last week and needs dramatic improvement in short space of time.

25/1

Dual winner over 1m4f for William Haggas on the Flat last summer and changed hands in the autumn for 45,000 gns. Offered something on hurdles debut in December.

Newlyn²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Ricky Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: M Fahey

100/1

Has shown next to nothing so far including when falling last time and very hard to make a case for.

Racecourse debut. Sister to 1m4f winner Greenpanda. Dam unraced half-sister to middle distance winners Colony and Hopeful Purchase.

Long standing maiden on the Flat and showed little on hurdling debut so easy to pass over.

Forecasts

Foveros (4/9), Brawler (6/1), Nibiru (8/1), Here In The Dark (14/1), Nero Rock (16/1), Fumet D'Oudairies (16/1), Miami Beach (20/1), Life On Earth (25/1), Wayfarer (25/1), Ellipsism (50/1), Arizona Flyer (66/1), My Lovely Boy (66/1), Shop Street (80/1), Dollar Value (100/1), Kos (100/1), Vocal Relation (100/1), Tomeric (100/1), Newlyn (100/1), Hunter (100/1), Taylor Velvet (100/1), Novel Character (100/1), Messerati Kid (100/1)

It will be interesting to see what the market makes of the Willie Mullins trained Foveros on hurdling debut but BRAWLER sets a fair standard in this sphere on the evidence of his second here last month and gets the nod. Nibiru ran well when last seen over hurdles and should make his presence felt.
