€5,000 3-y-o, Ocovango gelding. Dam 2¼m bumper winner/fair 2½m hurdle winner. Market can guide.
|
Useful Flat winner. 11/2, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f) 46 days ago, doing too much too soon. Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code. Interesting newcomer.
|
€1,600 3-y-o, Shantou gelding. Dam, pulled up in points, half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful 2½m hurdle winner Turn Turk. Wears cheekpieces. Others appeal more.
|
Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1 and hooded for 1st time, twelfth of 17 in bumper at Cork (16.9f, good to soft) 84 days ago. Makes hurdles debut.
|
Rail Link gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to bumper winner Boudry. Wears tongue strap. Betting can prove a good indicator.
|
Twice-raced maiden. Sixth of 11 in bumper (22/1) at Roscommon (16.1f, soft) 59 days ago. Makes hurdles debut and no forlorn hope.
|
Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. Winner in bumper at Down Royal in May. 7/1, respectable eighth of 16 in novice hurdle at Sligo (20.6f, good) 44 days ago. Back down in trip and well in the mix.
|
Snow Sky gelding. Dam, placed in points, half-sister to fairly useful 19f hurdle winner/useful chaser (stays 2½m) Mount Pelier. Not ruled out on paper.
|
Once-raced maiden. 50/1, first run since leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien when fifteenth of 16 in novice hurdle at Navan (15.8f, good) on NH debut 13 days ago.
|
Lightly-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, good fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (18.8f, good, 6/1) 14 days ago. The one to beat on form.
|
Diamond Boy filly. Half-sister to 2 winners, including fair French hurdler Shot The Sheriff.
|
Modest maiden on the Flat, making GB/IRE jumps debut. Seventh of 8 in maiden (150/1) at Clonmel (9.6f, good to firm) 29 days ago. More needed.
|
Once-raced maiden. Eleventh of 17 in bumper (66/1) at Cork (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 146 days ago. Makes hurdles debut.
|
Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. Eighth of 11 in novice hurdle at Sligo (17.5f, good, 125/1) on hurdles bow 44 days ago. Needs to step forward.
|
Fairly useful Flat winner. Promising sort. First run since leaving X. Thomas-Demeaulte when twelfth of 18 in juvenile hurdle at Navan (16f, soft, 8/1) on NH debut. Off 6 months. Likely to improve.
|
Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. 66/1, eleventh of 14 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, good) on hurdles bow 11 days ago. RESERVE.

Forecasts
Wee Willie Nail (10/11), Catena Zapata (3/1), Single Edition (3/1), Art Of Silence (7/2), Kilbride Hill (8/1), Six Ace (8/1), Ivane (14/1), Pidoyne (14/1), Broadford Publican (25/1), Iguis (33/1), Slaney Bank (40/1), Soldante (50/1), Champagnegaloppen (50/1), Pettigo (66/1), Navy Waves (80/1), Split The Pound (100/1), Cooleys Sleipnir (100/1), Captain Frankie (100/1), Spring Street (100/1), Comeragh Belle (125/1), Depeche Mo (125/1)
WEE WILLIE NAIL possesses much the best form on offer and can gain a deserved first win over hurdles. Hurdling newcomers Catena Zapata and Six Ace are in good hands and appeal as the duo to give Gordon Elliott's fairly useful perfomer most to do in that order.
