Paddy Power 'I Still Call It Twitter' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 13:10 | Winning time: 3m 55.3s

Saint Le Fort¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Brian Hayes| T: P Fenton| OR: 117| C

4/1

Won maiden hurdle at Cork (20f) in March but struggled since, finishing eighth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (9/1) 18 days ago without tongue strap. Needs to bounce back down in trip but is returning to scene of sole previous success.

Form: 2315-98

Camino Rock⁵⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Phillip Enright| T: M F Morris| OR: 113

40/1

Fairly useful hurdler ran well over hurdles last season but looked rusty when seventh of 8 in Chase at Kilbeggan (33/1) 58 days ago. Tongue strap removed on hurdles return and could be the pace angle dropping markedly in trip. Not totally dismissed if bouncing back.

Form: 76390-7

The Blaggard^h1,t1⁸⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Daniel King| T: E McCarthy| OR: 107| D

20/1

Won a maiden hurdle prior to finishing sixth in listed handicap at Limerick (16f, soft). Badly hampered when pulled up in 10-runner handicap hurdle at Wexford (28/1) 86 days ago and best not judged too harshly on that. Hood fitted but tendency to hang left worth noting back on a right-handed track.

Form: 9/0416-P

Miss Mini Bee^h,t²¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Alex Harvey| T: P T Foley| OR: 105| D

12/1

Bumper winner showed ability when second at Punchestown in January 2025, but no excuses on handicap debut finished 15th of 18 in handicap hurdle at Naas (10/1) 213 days ago. Returns and needs to improve on that form.

Form: 062660-

King In Love^h³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: S Aherne| OR: 104| D

14/1

Won a handicap hurdle at Naas and was runner-up in another earlier this year before being pulled up in 16-runner handicap at Listowel (12/1) 37 days ago, likely needing the run after layoff. Has winning form over this trip and may be closer to form here.

Form: 312P-3P

Crowsatedappletart^p¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: M Winters| OR: 103| C| D

16/5

Likeable sort who has won 2 of last 6 starts. Won 9-runner handicap chase at Limerick (5/1) 14 days ago, asserting between last 2 fences and driven out. Switches to hurdles but thriving sort remains a major player off much lower hurdles mark.

Form: 116521

Space Warrior¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Danny Mullins| T: T Mullins| OR: 102| D

14/1

One win from 16 starts with 10 runs since that success, finished eighth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16/1) 19 days ago when taking a strong hold and racing wide. That was a step back in the right direction but needs to build on it.

Form: 65P-078

Eastmore^t¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Philip Byrnes| T: C Byrnes| OR: 100

7/2

Won a handicap hurdle at Down Royal 65 days ago and has been runner-up in both starts since. Second of 17 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (5/1) 19 days ago, running well but finding one too good for the second consecutive time. Clearly in good form and could go well again.

Form: 700122

Mary's Pride²²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Sarah Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: E Cawley| OR: 100| D

4/1

Below form for much of the past year with several poor efforts in handicap hurdles. Third of 12 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (25/1) 22 days ago, making headway from 3 out and keeping on well at the finish. Well treated on best form and could build on that encouraging latest effort.

Form: 09000-3

Pralognan^t²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Kevin Sexton| T: A J Martin| OR: 97

14/1

Won over hurdles and on all-weather in summer before form dipped, most recently eighth of 15 in flat handicap at Curragh (14/1) 29 days ago. Returns to hurdles without cheekpieces and could benefit from the switch back to jumping.

Form: 00F/55-1

Rebel Rascal⁵⁸¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Simon Torrens| T: M Winters| OR: 84

50/1

Brought along gradually in maiden hurdles but fell when tailed off on chase debut at Ballinrobe (125/1) 1279 days ago. Pulled up in a point in March 2024. Market should guide expectations on handicap debut following a long absence.

Form: F96FP/

Forecasts

Crowsatedappletart (16/5), Eastmore (7/2), Saint Le Fort (4/1), Mary's Pride (4/1), Miss Mini Bee (12/1), King In Love (14/1), Pralognan (14/1), Space Warrior (14/1), The Blaggard (20/1), Camino Rock (40/1), Rebel Rascal (50/1)

A slowly-run race may tip the balance in favour of CROWSATEDAPPLETART who has been thriving with three wins from his last six starts over fences and is likely to be ridden prominently dropping back to 2m. He may be able to capitalise on a much lower hurdles mark, while Eastmore has been knocking on the door with consecutive runner-up finishes and should go well again. Mary's Pride shaped well when third at Fairyhouse and remains well treated on best form.
