Down Royal Corporation Of Horse Breeders Maiden Hurdle

Off time: 13:35 | Winning time: 4m 40.10s

All For Nothing^p,t⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: C D Maxwell| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 113

33/1

Earlier progression appears to have leveled out based on three dismal efforts this term including finishing last of 12 beaten 45L at Tramore last month. Looks a tall order on recent form shown.

Form: 524-F70

Mooltazem¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G Elliott

8/1

Improving sort who continues to knock on the door looking for his first success in five starts over timber. Best form gives him a claim.

Form: 634R2

Roseriver Has²⁸⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: E Walsh⁽⁷⁾| T: N Meade| OR: 115| C

5/2

10-race maiden over hurdles but has proceeded to hit the frame on five of those occasions. Last seen in December and likely to need the run on return to action.

Form: 344360-

Staged Engagement⁶⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: J J Slevin| T: P E Collins| OR: 109

16/1

Not disgraced in an unsuccessful summer jumping campaign including numerous fruitless trips across the sea. Worth a market check and not to be taken lightly.

Form: 2-2334P

Ya Boy Ya²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr B O'Neill| T: C Bowe| CD

5/2

Won a 2m3f bumper at this venue last month before a promising second of 12 beaten 2¾L on hurdling debut in a Kilbeggan maiden earlier this month. Another bold show looks likely.

Form: 123-112

De Mazzaro^h,t¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Darragh O'Keeffe⁽³⁾| T: T G McCourt| OR: 106

7/2

13-race maiden hurdler posted one of his career best efforts when finishing a 1¼L third of 17 at Listowel earlier this month. The So You Think gelding looks open to more improvement here.

Form: 7-9F833

Table The Motion^t²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Ricky Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: C O'Brien

33/1

Failed to build on career best effort at Kilbeggan last month over 2m2f when finishing down the field in a Clonmel 2m½f maiden earlier this month.Needs to improve but not ruled out.

Form: 09-0636

Herdwick⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Liam McKenna⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Lambe

100/1

Unplaced in seven on the Flat and beaten out of sight in first two starts for this yard before tailing off at odds of 100/1 on hurdling debut at the Galway festival in July. Unlikely to play a part in the finish.

Form: 0

Willyouwalkwithme^h²⁰⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Katie O'Farrell⁽⁵⁾| T: H Smyth

100/1

A Morzov gelding that is a half-brother to 3m hurdle and chase winner Another Frontier. Nothing of note in two career starts over hurdles so far and unlikely to be troubling the judge here.

Form: 6P-

Windsor Spa^t1

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: J S McGarvey| T: N C Kelly

66/1

Gelding by Windsor Knot out of a Rakti mare. Yard only three from 34 starters over timber this term and possibly best watched on hurdling debut.

Form:

Bella Cohen^h1

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Danny Mullins| T: W P Mullins

8/1

Daughter of Beneficial out of a Supreme Leader mare. Closely related to four-time hurdle winner Conduct Yourself successful between 2m and 2m5f. Slight concern about first-time hood already fitted but still a leading player in this company.

Form:

Castle Canny¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: C P McNamara⁽⁷⁾| T: B R Hamilton

16/1

Mixed messages in three starts over hurdles so far. Was keeping on in the closing stages over 2m5½f at Galway earlier this month and holds place possibilities in this contest.

Form: 923

Ringhill Lady²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: L P Dempsey| T: J J Lambe

66/1

Well held in three poor career starts over hurdles to date and overall profile suggests that she is worth taking on again.

Form: 695

Forecasts

Roseriver Has (5/2), Ya Boy Ya (5/2), De Mazzaro (7/2), Marine One (13/2), Mooltazem (8/1), Bella Cohen (8/1), Staged Engagement (16/1), Castle Canny (16/1), All For Nothing (33/1), Table The Motion (33/1), Windsor Spa (66/1), Ringhill Lady (66/1), Willyouwalkwithme (100/1), Herdwick (100/1)

The So You Think gelding, DE MAZZARO appears to be improving of late and can progress from one of his career best efforts when finishing a 1¼L third of 17 at Listowel earlier this month. The Colin Bowe-trained Ya Boy Ya won a bumper here last month before a pleasing hurdle debut at Kilbeggan earlier this month can emerge as the biggest danger. Bella Cohen on debut for Willie Mullins and the Gordon Elliott-trained, Mooltazem are not to be taken lightly in a wide-open contest.
