250/1
Sent off at big prices on a number of starts since last May, running accordingly on each occasion; difficult to see where the improvement will come from to feature on first run since February.

13/8
Disappointed following a bumper win in France on his first two starts over hurdles but showed some signs of ability on penultimate start t at Naas; let down by poor jumping when last seen at Thurles in March; hard to assess.

Age: 7|  Weight: 12-0| J: Phillip Enright| T: P Fenton| OR:  109
17/2
Listed winner on the Flat and a good third in a 21 runner maiden hurdle at Punchestown last year but struggled afterwards including being pulled up at Limerick last month.
Useful effort last September at Roscommon but hard to recommend based on fact he has fallen on his last two outings; has some talent not one to rely upon.

20/1
Beaten a total of 24-length but did improve on previous exploits when fourth on hurdles debut at Gowran Park (2m; good) last month; going in the right direction and one to consider.

No real promise in a couple of bumpers before being sent hurdling, finishing down the field on all three occasions; hard to see where improvement will come from.

Good Reception13

9/4
Beaten 60+ lengths in a pair of summer bumpers last year for these connections but showed his liking for hurdles with decent effort on debut over obstacles at Limerick last month; will be better for that outing and looks leading contender.
8
Horse silk
80/1
Nothing on his first two starts to suggest he would be capable of landing this after a near eight-month break from the track.
9
Horse silk
200/1
Occasionally showed some form on the Flat but difficult to make a case for following a dismal effort on hurdling debut at Roscommon in June and similar story last time out at Kilbeggan.

28/1
Full sister to 2m chase winner Mouseinthehouse out of a sister to the talented Sir Rembrandt; not disgraced on recent hurdles debut at Limerick; should be capable of improvement and worth a check in the betting.
11
Horse silk
16/1
By Imperial Monarch out of a Dr Massini mare; pulled too hard in the early stages on bumper debut at Kilbeggan earlier this month; fair hurdles introduction at Tramore later that month; one to consider.
Couple of wide-margin defeats in bumper at Punchestown and Limerick in December/January; limited appeal for hurdles bow.

Verdict

GOOD RECEPTION showed very little in two bumper outings but showed a liking for hurdling on his debut at Limerick last month. That contest was not particularly strong but in this poor contest he may be able to prove himself a worthy winner. Hybery has not performed as well as expected since being imported from France after winning a bumper. He was beginning top show very slight improvement on his first three hurdles runs before struggling badly last time out. Perhaps better ground here will help. Blue Ribbon is gelding with a little bit of potential and has been going in the right direction on his starts to date.
  1. Good Reception
  2. Hybery
  3. Blue Ribbon
