Caught the eye when fifth of 16 in a Ballinrobe handicap hurdle (20.5f) in August, finishing with running left. Shaped as if amiss when pulled up over fences at Killarney since but remains with potential reverting to the smaller obstacles after a break.

Has made little impact in a trio of maiden hurdles, but is well-bred and capable of better now handicapping up in trip.

5/1
Completed a hat-trick in 2023 (1 hurdle, 2 chases). Possibly still needed the run on second start back from long absence when fifth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (19f, good) 11 days ago. That could have put him spot on and he's of interest here.

Modest maiden hurdler. Mid-division in maiden sole start on Flat in 2023 and absent since but has joined Gordon Elliott. Market for clues.

Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable seventh of 17 in handicap hurdle (50/1) at Limerick (19.3f, good) 2 days ago. Uphill task.

Forecasts

Fremantle Doctor (11/4), Tankardstown Diva (10/3), Dunany Point (5/1), Bal Kauto (5/1), Adaliz (9/1), Newport (9/1), Kingsofthemidlands (20/1), Awakino (22/1), Fairy Tree (22/1)

Verdict

ADALIZ has made little impact in a trio of maiden hurdles, but is a half-sister to smart hurdler Adagio and it will be something of a disappointment if she wasn't capable of appreciably better now venturing into a handicap from a modest opening mark, so she's put forward as the answer. Bal Kauto possibly still needed the run on second start back from long absence at Limerick and is also of interest, along with Fremantle Doctor.

  1. Adaliz9/1
  2. Bal Kauto5/1
  3. Fremantle Doctor11/4
