Dam half-sister to fairly useful 15f hurdle winner in France Misterenrique. Successful once from 2 starts on Flat in France, showing fairly useful form, stays 10.5f: has left J. Boisnard. Interesting hurdling debutant.

Van Demon²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Ewing| T: N Meade

7/4

Fairly useful form on Flat (stays 1½m), won maiden in August, third on handicap debut last time. Very much one to consider on hurdle debut.

17/2

Fair maiden on the Flat but went backwards from hurdling debut when seventh of 11 in juvenile hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy) 28 days ago, possibly unsuited by conditions. Needs to bounce back.

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: J S McGarvey| T: J P O'Brien| BF

11/1

Fair maiden on Flat, stays 9.5f, shaped as if still in good form last time. Each-way possibilities if her stamina holds out on hurdle debut.

Forecasts

Van Demon (7/4), Kaleosun (5/2), Ose Partir (5/1), Kimy (7/1), Expelliarmus (17/2), Jeaniemacaroney (11/1), Biggerthanbigtime (12/1), Party Hard (22/1), Macinamillion (33/1), No Big Deal (33/1), Better Choice (100/1)

VAN DEMON has shown fairly useful form on four of his 5 starts on the Flat and has the size to make a hurdler, so he's a very appealing candidate and is preferred to Kaleosun, who failed to justify support on his recent debut in this sphere at Cork but should improve nonetheless. Ose Partir is another to note.
