Bumper winner who was a creditable second of 15 in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown (19.5f, heavy) 35 days ago. Strong claims.
|
Has made the frame all 3 starts in this sphere, most recently finishing a good second of 14 in a maiden at Naas (19f, heavy) 14 days ago. Likely to be in the thick of things.
|
Winning pointer who was said to have bled when ninth of 11 in a maiden hurdle here on Rules debut in December 2024. Shaped pretty well when fourth back here on return 12 months later and he is open to improvement.
|
Wide-margin winner of sole start between the flags (subsequently sold for £120,000) and placed both starts in bumpers last season. Looked in need of the run on return/handicap bow at Navan (2¾m, heavy) last month and he's clearly thought capable of better.
|
Big price and failed to land a blow on debut in a Leopardstown maiden hurdle earlier this month.
|
€45,000 purchase out of an unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 2½m) Duhallow Gesture. Wears tongue strap on debut and the market should be revealing.
Related to above-average jumpers but hasn't cut much ice thus far and he's probably more one for handicaps in due course. Engaged 1.55 Navan Saturday.
|
Safely held in a bumper on debut during the autumn and it's hard to draw any positives form his first run over hurdles at Gowran recently.
|
Well held on recent introduction at Gowran and yard saddles a more appealing candidate in Jack The Lad.

Forecasts
Dani Donadoni (8/11), Doctor Elvis (9/4), Orchard Cross (10/1), Freddie's Back (14/1), Jack The Lad (16/1), Lord De Choisel (25/1), Poet's Gale (50/1), Theran (50/1), Jenny's Bar (66/1)
DANI DONADONI would've finished closer but for suffering interference from the winner late on at Punchestown last month and this bumper winner is taken to open his hurdles account. Doctor Elvis is the clear main danger, ahead of Freddie's Back and Jack The Lad, both of whom are open to improvement.
