Fairly useful Flat winner. Twice-raced maiden over hurdles. Fifth of 11 in maiden at Navan (16f, heavy, 25/1) 22 days ago. Might be more one for handicaps after this.

Fairly useful Flat winner. Much better effort over hurdles when third of 18 in Thurles maiden in January. Respectable effort on AW Flat since. Likely to be thereabouts.

€10,000 3-y-o, resold €26,000 3-y-o, Great Pretender gelding. Brother to French hurdler Gipsy de Choisel, stays 21f, and half-brother to French chaser History de Choisel. Dam unraced. Worth a precautionary market check.

Timeform
Every chance when fell 2 out in sole point and looked good prospect when winning Fairyhouse bumper in December 2023. Not seen since so there must have been the odd issue but he had now smart hurdlers behind in second/third at Fairyhouse. Market confidence significant.

Fifth on completed start in points. 66/1, twenty third of 25 in novice hurdle at Navan (16f, heavy) on NH debut 86 days ago.

7/4
Fairly useful winner for Andrew Balding. Promise over hurdles for current yard, notably when third of 17 at Thurles (16.2f, heavy) 25 days ago, finishing well. More to come in this sphere.

El Salvador gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners on Flat, including 7f-1¼m winner Eutropius. Dam unraced. Wears tongue strap on debut.

Affinisea gelding. Dam, poor maiden hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m), half-sister to useful chaser (stayed 33f) Gonalston Cloud. Likely outsider on debut.

Forecasts

Petit Secret (5/6), Playtime (7/4), Ehteyat (5/1), Cock And Bull (11/1), Leni's Law (25/1), Keep Em Quite (40/1), Sam's Favourite (50/1), Lord De Choisel (80/1), Mayor Of Maghera (80/1), Playing The Field (125/1), Salvador Peps (150/1), Toms One Of Many (150/1), Two Can Plan (200/1), Calm Flight Ahead (250/1), Urbs Intacta Manet (300/1), Cornelious Ab (300/1)

Verdict

PLAYTIME very much caught the eye at Thurles last time and gets the vote before any betting clues are known about returning Willie Mullins bumper winner Petit Secret, who hasn't been seen for a whopping 820 days. Ehteyat looks best of the remainder.
