Boro Maiden Hurdle

Off time: 13:00 | Winning time: 4m 2.30s

Delaire¹⁷¹

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: J P O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: N Dooly

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.

Form: 0-

Hybery¹⁵³

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins

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.

Form: 1/996P-

The Tartan Spartan¹³

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.

Form: 735/4P

Arthur Fonzarelli^t²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead

4/1

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.

Form: 0F2F-F

Blue Ribbon^t1¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: R P Treacy⁽³⁾| T: E Doyle

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.

Form: 7-04

Charlie Siringo¹⁵³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: E Walsh⁽⁷⁾| T: N Meade

28/1

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.

Form: 05P00-

Good Reception¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Mark Walsh| T: T Foley

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.

Form: 88-2

Master Artist²³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: I J Power| T: J E Kiely

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.

Form: 09-

Papal Count²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Keith Donoghue| T: A Lynch

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.

Form: 00

Derridae¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Sean O'Keeffe⁽⁵⁾| T: M McCabe

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.

Form: 5

Dinny's Ginny¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: A McCurtin⁽⁵⁾| T: D Queally

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.

Form: 55

Moonlight Symphony¹⁸⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: C A Landers⁽⁵⁾| T: S J Treacy

100/1

Couple of wide-margin defeats in bumper at Punchestown and Limerick in December/January; limited appeal for hurdles bow.

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.
