Brendan Cullimore Electrical Mares Maiden Hurdle

Off time: 18:05 | Winning time: 6m 6.8s

Amboyna⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: J & T Kiely

11/4

Fairly useful bumper winner and in process of showing similar form when unseating last on hurdles debut at Fairyhouse (20.2f) last November. Beaten a long way in bumper/mares' maiden since returning to action this summer but too soon to be writing her off.

Form: 312U-66

Amburana⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Brian Hayes| T: Padraig Butler

100/1

Shirocco mare. Dam unraced. Placed once from 4 starts in points but never a factor when eighth of 16 in maiden hurdle at Killarney (16.5f) on Rules debut 6 days ago.

Form: P6-2P8

Ar Aghaidh^p1⁸⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Eoghan Finegan⁽⁷⁾| T: H P Finegan| OR: 77| D

28/1

Poor hurdler. Pulled up in novice hurdle at Sligo (17.7f, good, 10/1) 80 days ago, struggling long way out. Significantly back up in trip. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.

Form: 1/6F68-P

Cant Touch This⁸³²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Sarah Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: T Gibney

22/1

Ol' Man River mare. Dam (h81), lightly raced in bumpers/over hurdles, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 29f) Grove Pride. Runner-up in point back in May 2023 and interesting what the market makes of her on first start since/hurdles bow.

Form: 2/

Charity Barnum¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: J J Slevin| T: Dermot Day| OR: 97

11/4

Remains a maiden after 8 hurdle runs but confirmed herself back in good order when second of 14 in novice hurdle at Tramore (21f, good to firm, 8/1) 14 days ago. Definite claims of being in the mix again with a repeat.

Form: 76/0-052

Chasing Crowns¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: K C Sexton| T: E Sheehy

33/1

Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 66/1, eighth of 10 in bumper at Tramore (16.6f, good) on bumper debut 12 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. Significantly up in trip.

Form: PPP-858

Hello Yes⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: R Deegan| T: S McParlan

125/1

Displayed a modicum of promise only start in bumpers a year ago but well beaten on her reappearance when twelfth of 16 in novice hurdle at Sligo (17.5f, good) on hurdles bow 9 days ago. Significantly up in trip.

Form: 0-0

Her Name Is Isla⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Sean Flanagan| T: W J Burke

33/1

Raven's Pass mare. 125/1, eleventh of 18 in novice hurdle at Cork (16.9f, good) on NH debut 49 days ago, dropping away before 3 out. Significantly up in trip.

Form: 0

Jetaway Nana⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Eoin Staples⁽⁷⁾| T: C Collins| OR: 100

2/1

Has proved fairly consistent over hurdles for current connections, just seeming to lack the speed to capitalise on an ideal position when fourth of 8 in novice hurdle (5/2) at Ballinrobe (22.3f, good) 4 days ago. Step up to 3m for the first time worth exploring and can go well.

Form: 63254

Keep The Head^h,t²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Phillip Enright| T: P T Foley

50/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 10 in bumper at this course (16.7f, good to soft, 100/1) 21 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Significantly up in trip.

Form: U0-06

Onyx Storm¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: P Hennessy

12/1

Stepped up markedly on her bumper exploits when second on hurdles debut in a Tramore maiden (16.7f) back in April. Has taken early exits on each of her 2 starts since, falling heavily third at Ballinrobe (16.5f) 18 days ago. Still, she remains with potential in this sphere provided jumping holds up.

Form: 792U-F

Prized Jet^h1⁹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: P Hanlon⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Hanlon

10/1

Jet Away mare. Runner-up sole start in points in April and she offered something to work on when fourth of 10 in novice hurdle at Tramore (21.7f, good to soft) on NH debut 91 days ago. Hooded for 1st time and feasible to think she could do better.

Form: 2-4

Rutland Rose^t⁸²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Ricky Doyle| T: M Brassil

16/1

Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 50/1, first run since leaving John Andrew Kinsella when eighth of 17 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (21.6f, good) 82 days ago.

Form: P/6-08

Forecasts

Jetaway Nana (2/1), Amboyna (11/4), Charity Barnum (11/4), Prized Jet (10/1), Onyx Storm (12/1), Rutland Rose (16/1), Cant Touch This (22/1), Ar Aghaidh (28/1), Chasing Crowns (33/1), Her Name Is Isla (33/1), Keep The Head (50/1), Amburana (100/1), Hello Yes (125/1)

Not an easy race to assess by any means with the tentative vote in favour of JETAWAY NANA. She shaped as though worth a crack at this longer trip when fourth at Ballinrobe 4 days ago and her consistency looks sure to count for plenty in this field. Onyx Storm, Amboyna and Charity Barnum are a trio of others to consider.
