28/1

Fair maiden on the Flat who posted a solid fifth of 12 in maiden at the Curragh (12f, soft, 28/1) 72 days ago. First run for yard after leaving N. Stokes and not ruled out on hurdling bow.

Form:

Crest Of Light⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Ben Harvey| T: C Collins

200/1

Modest Flat winner. 8/1 and visored for 1st time, seventh of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 54 days ago on his final run for Ross Burdon. No forlorn hope on his stable/hurdling debut.

Form:

Dead Cert²⁸⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Brian Hayes| T: W P Mullins| BF

11/4

Promising type. 28/10, showing promise when fell last in minor hurdle at Auteuil (14.9f, soft) 9 months ago. Sure to improve and a player here.

Form: F-

Deep Water Bay¹²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Danny Gilligan| T: G Elliott| D

14/1

Useful Flat winner who came in a good second of 5 in 2m handicap at Goodwood on his final run for Sir Mark Prescott. Much respected starting out in this sphere for his new handler.

Form:

Far Eclipse²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Conor Stone-Walsh| T: G P Cromwell

200/1

Fair maiden on the Flat. Seventh of 11 in juvenile hurdle (33/1) at Cork (16.9f, soft) on NH debut 20 days ago. Needs to take a step forward.

Form: 7

Genealogy⁶⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: D G Hogan| T: D Hogan

80/1

Fairly useful 1m Flat winner who posted a creditable eighth of 16 in handicap at this course (12f, heavy) 69 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Aidan O'Brien and needs considering now going hurdling.

Form:

Hardy Stuff^h³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Ewing| T: G Elliott

20/1

Looked a hard ride on debut but proved much more tractable with a hood added (retained) when fourth of 13 in Punchestown juvenile 35 days ago. Open to progress and well in the mix here with headgear again fitted.

Form: P4

Kizlyar^t²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: J J Slevin| T: J P O'Brien

25/1

Promising ex-French 1m4f Flat scorer for M. Delzangles. Started for new yard with a promising fifth of 11 in juvenile hurdle at Cork (16.9f, soft) on NH debut 20 days ago. Sure to be all the better for the experience.

Form: 5

Manoir De Mirande^t1²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| BF

3/1

Debut 1m4f junior bumper winner in France in April for Mme I. Pacault. 5/6, in front when fell last in juvenile hurdle at Cork (16.9f, soft) on IRE NH debut 20 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Should have more to offer. Very much one to consider.

Form: 1-F

Munsif⁷⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Philip Byrnes| T: C Byrnes

7/2

Useful Flat winner for Roger Varian and a good sixth of 12 in handicap at Newmarket (12f, good to firm, 11/2) 78 days ago. Brings plenty of potential to hurdling for his new handler.

Form:

Ole Ole²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G P Cromwell

11/1

Fair ex-French hurdler. 11/4, solid second of 11 in juvenile hurdle at Cork (16.9f, soft) 20 days ago given he was unsuited by emphasis on speed. Holds good form claims.

Form: 322

Rua Mor^h³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Conor Brassil⁽⁵⁾| T: J G Coogan

150/1

Twice-raced maiden. 80/1, fifth of 13 in juvenile hurdle at Punchestown (16.7f, soft) 35 days ago. Needs to take a step forward.

50/1

Fair 1m Flat winner but last of 9 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good to firm) in August on his final run for James Ferguson. Yard having good spell so not ruled out now going hurdling.

Form:

Concert Party⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: Daniel King| T: D Hogan

150/1

Fairly useful Flat winner but tenth of 12 in handicap at Newbury (10f, heavy) 64 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Richard Hannon and no forlorn hope.

10/3

Fair form shown when winning 14-runner maiden at Argentan (12.4f, good to soft) 8 months on her debut for M. Brasme. Interesting newcomer for top yard.

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: D Hogan

Fairly useful Flat winner and a good fourth of 10 in handicap at Naas (10.6f, good to soft, 9/1) 76 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien and needs considering.

Forecasts

Dead Cert (11/4), Manoir De Mirande (3/1), Dschingis Desire (10/3), Munsif (7/2), Ole Ole (11/1), Deep Water Bay (14/1), Michonne (16/1), Hardy Stuff (20/1), Kizlyar (25/1), Bartholomew (28/1), Palmezzano (33/1), Searcog (50/1), Wolfpack (50/1), Ray Gun (66/1), Genealogy (80/1), Rua Mor (150/1), Concert Party (150/1), Kashel Spring (150/1), Dream Angel (200/1), Crest Of Light (200/1), Far Eclipse (200/1)

Lots of these bring potential but the vote goes to DSCHINGIS DESIRE who made a winning start in France in the spring and rates an interesting prospect now starting out her top yard. Manoir De Mirande was still ahead when a final-flight faller on her hurdling bow at Cork and could emerge as the main danger, although several others need considering, notably Dead Cert, Munsif, Deep Water Bay, Ole Ole and Hardy Stuff in this fascinating maiden hurdle.
