Brave Troop²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Brian Hayes| T: Barry J Fitzgerald

16/1

Fair Flat winner but just modest form at best in 2 runs over hurdles. Will make more appeal in handicaps after this.

80/1

Fair form in varied events on Flat, always behind on stable/handicap debut last time. Looks up against it on hurdle debut.

7/1

Fairly useful Flat winner who is seemingly being brough along with handicaps in mind, never better than mid-field in juvenile at Naas 20 days ago. Hood on for 1st time.

10/3

Fair maiden on Flat who ran his best race over hurdles when second of 21 in juvenile at Naas (15.7f, soft, 28/1) 20 days ago, having run of race. Should give another good account.

Form: 0552

Sinbad Le Marin²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| BF

9/2

Fairly useful Flat winner who went backwards from a promising first effort in this sphere when ninth of 21 in juvenile at Naas (15.7f, soft, 6/4) 20 days ago. Worth another chance.

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: B J Cooper| T: A J Martin

2/1

Useful Flat winner who was let down by his jumping when fourth of 21 in juvenile at Naas (15.7f, soft) 20 days ago. Remains with potential.

Closely related to useful hurdler Mossy Fen and ran out an 8-length winner of 1½m maiden only outing on Flat. Left Hugo Merienne for 110,000 gns in December. Interesting hurdling debutante. Holds a Triumph Hurdle entry.

Forecasts

Zanndabad (2/1), Media Naranja (16/5), Mighty Mo Missouri (10/3), Sinbad Le Marin (9/2), Jacovec Cavern (7/1), Enjoy The Dream (16/1), Brave Troop (16/1), Vector Belle (33/1), Sea The Sunset (50/1), Jeriko De Baune (50/1), Carlton Gardens (80/1), Charlies Pride (100/1), Pink Fire Lilly (125/1), Bowgate Street (125/1), Aegirine (150/1), Kanzino (150/1), Always Force It (200/1), Tara Oak (250/1), Easky Maid (300/1)

MEDIA NARANJA ran out an 8-length winner on her sole outing on the Flat, so she looks very interesting now going hurdling for Gordon Elliott and earns the vote. Zanndabad and Sinbad Le Marin were both let down by their jumping on their latest starts but remain with potential, with Enjoy The Dream another to note.
