Charleville Cheese 3-Y-O Hurdle

Teriferma^t²³

Age: 3| Weight: 11-8| J: J J Slevin| T: J P O'Brien

10/3

Took well to hurdling with wins at Killarney and Down Royal last month, jumping more fluently at the latter track. Likely more to come and every chance he can make it 3-3 in this sphere.

Form: 11

Action Plan⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Jack Kennedy| T: Gerard O'Leary

2/1

Fairly useful Flat winner. 9/1, promising third of 13 in juvenile at Ballinrobe (17.9f, good) on NH debut 9 days ago. Open to progress.

Form: 3

Baron Blake⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Jordan Gainford| T: J J Hanlon

125/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Ninth of 13 in juvenile hurdle (25/1) at Ballinrobe (17.9f, good) 9 days ago. Looks up against it.

Form: 549

Bid Up²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Mr L P Shanahan⁽⁷⁾| T: R O'Sullivan

150/1

No form in 3 Flat starts ahead of this switch to hurdles.

Form:

My Mate Tony⁸⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: G P Brouder⁽⁵⁾| T: P McCreery

100/1

Modest at best on the Flat and pulled up on hurdle debut in July. First run for yard after leaving Joseph O'Brien. Would be a shock winner.

Form: P

Slowdownbarney²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Flanagan| T: G P Cromwell

20/1

Fair maiden on the Flat. 18/1 and blinkered for 1st time, tenth of 13 in maiden at Roscommon (12.1f, soft) 20 days ago. Makes hurdle debut.

Form:

Syosset⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Alex Harvey⁽⁵⁾| T: J C McConnell

250/1

Twice-raced maiden. Eleventh of 13 in juvenile hurdle at Ballinrobe (17.9f, good, 80/1) 9 days ago.

Form: 70

Janes Harbour³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: Simon Torrens| T: J P O'Brien

11/2

16/1, promise when fifth of 12 in Flat maiden at Cork (10.4f, good to firm) on debut 37 days ago. Should have more to offer now making a quick switch to hurdles but Teriferma has to be considered the stable first string on this occasion unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.

Form:

Jlow^h,t²³

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: C W J Farrell

20/1

Twice-raced maiden over hurdles. Hooded for 1st time tongue strap on for 1st time, 10½ lengths third of 9 to Teriferma in juvenile hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, good, 22/1) 23 days ago, unable to sustain effort.

Form: 63

Zaynab^h1⁹³

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: Sam Ewing| T: G Elliott

2/1

Fairly useful dual Flat winner this spring. Hooded 1st time. Very interesting recruit to hurdles for a top yard which has won this race 3 times since 2018.

Form:

Non-Runners

Coruscate²⁰

Weight: 10-5| Age: 3

T: T Cooper J: Tom Kelly

Forecasts

Zaynab (2/1), Action Plan (2/1), Teriferma (10/3), Janes Harbour (11/2), Jlow (20/1), Slowdownbarney (20/1), My Mate Tony (100/1), Coruscate (100/1), Baron Blake (125/1), Bid Up (150/1), Syosset (250/1)

TERIFERMA looks a useful early-season juvenile and can make it 3-3 over hurdles with further improvement likely, although a strong market move for Gordon Elliott hurdle newcomer Zaynab would put a slightly different slant on things. Action Plan was a promising third on his recent hurdle and should also play a prominent role.
