Comeragh Veterinary Maiden Hurdle

Off time: 14:10 | Winning time: 5m 20.1s

All For Nothing^p,t⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: C D Timmons⁽⁵⁾| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 113

16/1

Earlier progression appears to have leveled out and others look to hold stronger claims based on a couple of disappointing efforts this term.

Form: 3524-F7

Ballymacaw⁶²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: J Halley

13/8

Modest form in the point-to-point ranks before a couple of solid and consistent bumper starts since May. Off the mark on second start when last seen in June and likely to be popular in the betting.

Form: 3-421

Shadow Seven^t⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: J J Slevin| T: J P O'Brien

11/1

Eight-race Flat maiden on turf who kept his winning to the AW at Dundalk. Intriguing newcomer on first start over hurdles and market likely to reveal connections expectations.

Form:

Clonguile Way¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: J B Kane⁽⁵⁾| T: W J O'Doherty

20/1

Double Eclipse gelding out of a Dr Massini mare. Has put together a number of solid point-to-point efforts since November. Early hunter chase and maiden hurdles starts have not gone to plan.

Form: 521-F20

Lessofdnegativity⁸⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Darragh O'Keeffe⁽⁵⁾| T: A J McNamara| OR: 106

5/1

Westerner gelding has failed to build on the promise of his run at Cork in April. Has gone off the boil in recent starts but any market move should be noted.

Form: 73-50

Westmead³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Sean Flanagan| T: Mrs P Dobbs

9/2

Put a dismal bumper effort at Ballinrobe firmly behind him when finishing second of 15 beaten a neck at odds of 66/1 in a Killarney maiden hurdle last month. Leading contender looking at full card.

Form: 70-2

Alianome¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: K J Brouder⁽⁵⁾| T: R P Rath

100/1

Daughter of Arcadio out of a Milan mare. Dam useful in the point-to-point ranks. Well down the field on hurdling debut at Cork earlier this month and unlikely to be rocking any boats here.

Form: R-0

Battle Away¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: J J Burke| T: D Rohan

40/1

Point-to-point winner but well beaten and no impression in a couple of initial maiden hurdle starts last month. Well below-par form looks set to continue.

Form: R6-P170

Glebe Girl¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Phillip Enright| T: J J Walsh| OR: 95

9/2

11-race maiden hurdler but flickers of ability in her last two starts both at Cork recently. More needed but enters calculations.

Form: 538-853

Glencottagelady⁹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Richard Condon⁽⁷⁾| T: L M A Beresford

50/1

Daughter of Byron out of a Presenting mare. Dam a five-race maiden running in bumpers and over hurdles. Profile suggests taking the mare on making her debut in this contest.

Form: F2P-P

Golden Symphony⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: M Hamill⁽³⁾| T: Miss M M Gannon

50/1

Daughter of Mahler out of a Supreme Leader mare. Dam unraced. Beaten over 34L on both career starts to date and unlikely to be making a significant impact in this event.

Form: 59

Limited Company¹²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Sean O'Keeffe⁽⁷⁾| T: P M Cloke

50/1

Daughter of Doyen out of a Flemensfirth mare. Poor form in the point-to-point ranks leaves her plenty to prove on debut under rules.

Form: PP3PP-

Forecasts

Ballymacaw (13/8), Westmead (9/2), Glebe Girl (9/2), Lessofdnegativity (5/1), Empire Burleque (6/1), Dunbar (7/1), Shadow Seven (11/1), All For Nothing (16/1), Clonguile Way (20/1), Battle Away (40/1), Golden Symphony (50/1), Limited Company (50/1), Glencottagelady (50/1), Alianome (100/1)

If holding his recent form, WESTMEAD could take some stopping in the opener. The George Dobbs-owned gelding caught the eye on hurdling debut at Killarney last month going down by a neck. The four-year-old can hold off the attentions of bumper winner, Ballymacaw on hurdling debut and the Gordon Elliott-trained, Empire Burleque. The daughter of Dubai Destination, Glebe Girl is no forlorn hope.
