BAR 1 Betting 'Best Odds Guaranteed Overnight In-Shop & Online' Maiden Hurdle

Off time: 14:00 | Winning time: 5m 13.80s

Colcannon^h⁹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Sam Ewing| T: N Meade

13/8

Smart bumper performer has his sights lowered having contested two stronger maiden hurdles than this, and the reapplication of the hood looks a positive having been too free at Navan last time. Very much the one to beat.

Form: 2113/26

Doctor Elvis¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott

9/2

Third behind now useful pair on hurdles bow and following a spin in bumper after a long absence, ran to a similar level as on debut when fourth in 16-runner novice at Punchestown last month. That wasn't a deep race but he can improve for the step back up in trip.

Form: 3/64

Healys Pub²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Phillip Enright| T: O McKiernan

4/1

Showed ability on bumper/hurdle debut and again when well held in second in a course maiden latest, and with the third having franked the form since, he's entitled to improve.

Form: 7/52

Jetstream Jeff⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Gavin Brouder| T: P McCreery

250/1

Yet to hint at ability.

Form: PU00

Knowing Me⁴⁹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Kevin A Murphy⁽⁷⁾| T: D Queally

125/1

Well beaten fourth behind Colcannon (front three all won next time out) when last seen in October 2024. Switches back to hurdles following 16 months off and reasonable to think that connections will have an eye on the future.

Form: 004/

Leo Messy

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Sexton⁽⁷⁾| T: T Gibney

150/1

Court Cave gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fair chase winner (stayed 3m) Irish Octave. Likely to need more time/distance.

Form:

Native Policy⁵⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Sarah Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: E Cawley

250/1

Hasn't shown anything in 2 starts.

Form: 00

Papagei¹³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: James Smith⁽⁵⁾| T: T Gibney

80/1

Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (stays 12.5f) but lost his form for James Ferguson at end of last year and market may prove best guide now sent hurdling by new yard.

Form:

Salvador Peps^t⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Michael J Doyle⁽⁷⁾| T: G M Doyle

200/1

Swerved and unseated at long odds when making hurdle debut 6 days ago.

Form: U

Sine Qua Non⁴¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Mark Walsh| T: P Roche

11/8

Wide-margin winner sole start in points and travelled smoothly/shaped promisingly when third (front 2 winners over hurdles since) in fairly useful Navan bumper in January 2025. Interesting hurdling debutant but does have a 13-month absence to overcome.

Form: 13/

The Rebel Fox^h1¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Keith Donoghue| T: R O'Sullivan

33/1

Placed all 3 starts in points, again runner-up last time (Feb 22). Wears first-time hood for hurdles debut and may want even further than this.

Form: 322

Tradonthebay²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Danny Gilligan| T: P J Gilligan

80/1

Well held third on bumper/hurdle debut and looks a handicap project, for all this longer trip is in his favour.

Form: 3/3

Lakewood Rose¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Miss N C Hennessy⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss N Hennessy

150/1

Modest in bumpers and no threat on hurdles bow at Thurles last time.

Form: P4/47P6

Ur My Fav^t⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Conor Stone-Walsh| T: J C McConnell

200/1

Swerved and unseated second when 100/1 shot on debut 8 days ago.

Form: U

Forecasts

Sine Qua Non (11/8), Colcannon (13/8), Healys Pub (4/1), Doctor Elvis (9/2), The Rebel Fox (33/1), Papagei (80/1), Tradonthebay (80/1), Knowing Me (125/1), Lakewood Rose (150/1), Leo Messy (150/1), Ur My Fav (200/1), Salvador Peps (200/1), Native Policy (250/1), Jetstream Jeff (250/1)

COLCANNON still looks the one to beat on bumper form and he can make it third time lucky over hurdles. Doctor Elvis could improve for the step back up in trip, while it'll be interesting if there's market confidence behind the returning Sine Qua Non.
