Bumper winner who shaped encouragingly when second of 19 on hurdling debut at Cork in December after 7 months off. Disappointed when fifth of 11 in maiden hurdle at Leopardstown (3/1) 48 days ago but this is a good chance to bounce back.
|
Well held completed start over hurdles.
|
Looked something out of the ordinary when winning bumper at Gowran on debut last March but couldn't match that form when eighth of 12 here 2 months later, backing out of things. First run since Willie Mullins but danger to all if back on song now hurdling.
|
Achieved more than on his hurdling debut when seventh of 14 in maiden hurdle at Limerick (125/1) 89 days ago, beaten 20¾ lengths. Looks one for the longer term.
|
Second in bumper at Tipperary in May before leaving Stuart Crawford's yard. Tenth of 20 in maiden hurdle at Down Royal (28/1) 26 days ago, making mistake at 5 out and never involved.
|
Bumper winner who chased home a highly-rated rival in listed company at Navan in December. Shaped as though amiss on hurdles debut a fortnight later and this will reveal more.
|
Three-time maiden hurdler who finished second of 15 at Fairyhouse (13/8 favourite) 31 days ago, laboured after 3 out but kept on to go second 2 out. Likely to give his running again.
|
Looked limited in point-to-points and ran to a barely modest level on Rules debut when sixth of 9 in maiden hurdle at Limerick (80/1) 48 days ago, weakening in the straight.
|
Winning pointer but has shown little in four starts under Rules.
|
Fourth of 13 on bumper debut here but went with no encouragement when tenth of 16 on hurdles debut 3 weeks ago. Tongue strap removed.
|
Vadamos filly. Second foal of a 2m hurdle-winning dam who stayed 19f.
Mount Nelson mare. Dam unraced sister to high-class hurdler/smart chaser (winner around 2m) Grandouet and winning hurdler/chaser in France (stayed 3¼m) Beuvron. Shaped like a stayer in a course bumper in October.
|
Never a threat on debut 12 days ago. Steps up in trip and needs to show significant improvement.
|
Third foal, half-sister to fair hurdler Reverse Polarity (17f winner, by Mustameet), stayed 19f. Dam unraced.
Has shown little in three starts to date.
|
First foal, dam, unraced, closely related to fair hurdler/useful chaser (stays 3¼m) Stealthy Tom and half-sister to useful hurdler/high-class chaser (stayed 25f) Gilgamboa. Newcomer for leading yard.
Forecasts
Dani Donadoni (6/4), Pat's Legacy (3/1), Ksar Fatal (7/2), Panjandrum (6/1), King Of Westeros (12/1), Who's Going (14/1), Courageous Cleo (16/1), Shortt Fuse (33/1), Only For Our Man (33/1), Chisel Hill (33/1), Strange Currency (50/1), Live My Dream (66/1), The Fly Window (66/1), Auntie Ida (66/1), Mo Chailin Mor (100/1), The Last Minute (150/1)
DANI DONADONI was disappointing at Leopardstown 48 days ago but is in expert hands and is well worth another chance to confirm his Cork form. Ksar Fatal looked smart when winning a bumper for Willie Mullins and it will be interesting to see what he can do now hurdling. Panjandrum also has a bit to prove but was also good enough to win a bumper.
