Border Lad^h1⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Dylan Whelan⁽⁷⁾| T: H De Bromhead

8/11

€16,000 half-sister to fair hurdler Tingarran Express. Dam, fair bumper winner, is a half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 21f) Mcllhatton. Wide-margin winner of his sole start in points in January so he's an interesting newcomer. Wears hood.

Form: 1

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr E Mahon⁽⁷⁾| T: Paul Power

12/1

22/1, kicked at the start when pulled up in bumper here on debut 30 days ago. Easy winner of his sole start in points in November 2024 so remains with potential.

Form: 1/P

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Conor Clarke⁽⁷⁾| T: E McCarthy

50/1

Califet gelding. Dam, maiden over hurdles/fences in France, half-sister to useful hurdler/very smart chaser (stayed 23f) Clarcam (by Califet). The market can guide.

Border Lad (8/11), Jury Time (7/4), Alzurs Thunder (12/1), Bois D'angos (16/1), Diamond Secret (28/1), Deeter (50/1), Natures Odyssey (50/1)

The market should reveal plenty but Henry de Bromhead's BORDER LAD easily landed a point in January and is taken to make a winning start under Rules at the chief expense of Jury Time, who came in a clear second here last month. Alzurs Thunder is worth forgiving his debut effort here when kicked at the start and this point scorer could also play a part.
