Showed a bit more than previously in a first-time hood when fourth of 10 in a maiden hurdle at this course (19.9f, heavy) 36 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Down in trip.

Roccos Inspiration^t⁹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Fergus Gregory| T: O Murphy| OR: 112| BF

2/7

Expensive to follow over hurdles in Ireland but sets a clear standard and this looks an excellent opportunity on first outing for Olly Murphy.

Form: P2-2432

Forecasts

Roccos Inspiration (2/7), Give Me A Boom (9/2), Joker De Thaix (13/2), Killigarth (22/1), Streamsforth Lad (25/1), Cocardier (66/1), Jean De Monts (125/1), Freddy Boy (125/1)

ROCCOS INSPRITATION has been expensive to follow over hurdles in Ireland, but it's highly unlikely she'll get a better opportunity than this to open her account, so is a straightforward choice. Give Me A Boy looks the obvious one to give the selection most to think about having shown some promise on his sole outing in bumpers back in April 2022.
