Ryans Cleaning Maiden Hurdle

Off time: 17:10 | Winning time: 4m 27.20s

Any Chance⁸⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Danny Mullins| T: Cian Hughes

22/1

Well beaten both starts in maiden hurdles and probably more one for handicaps further down the line.

Form: 00

Blazing Duke¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Michael Kenneally⁽⁵⁾| T: P Nolan

15/2

Didn't get very far back from a break at Wexford but showed enough in maiden hurdles at Gowran and Naas to suggest that he'll be a force in a race of this nature.

Form: 0-57U

Brackens Jet³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Carl Millar⁽⁵⁾| T: Cian Hughes

9/1

No show in a couple of appearances so far and likely to need more time.

Form: 07

El Phenomeno^p1³⁶⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: M J McDonagh| OR: 75

66/1

Poor maiden who will need to turn over a new leaf back from a year off with first-time cheekpieces added in order to play a part in the finish.

Form: 0/P5PP0-

Endless Talking^h⁹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G P Cromwell

2/1

Point winner and shaped with some promise starting out in a hood when seventh of 14 in bumper at Fairyhouse in November. Failed to build on that next time but likely to be seen in a better light now sent hurdling.

Form: 1-78

Jetstream Jeff²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Cian Cullinan⁽⁷⁾| T: P McCreery

300/1

Hard to recommend based on what he's achieved thus far.

Form: PU000

Koeur A Prendre²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Phillip Enright| T: M A Molloy

28/1

Glimmers of ability in maiden hurdles at Fairyhouse and Leopardstown, and he's another who will probably be better off in handicaps.

Form: 77

L'amiral Fromentin^p1¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Tiernan Power Roche⁽³⁾| T: P J Rothwell

33/1

Failed to complete in 3 of his 4 starts between the flags and no impact in a handful of appearances over fences this yard. Major step forward needed now switched to hurdles in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: P586P8

Listentomewillya^h⁵⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Gary Noonan| T: N Lee

50/1

Showed greater promise on second start when sixth of 14 in C&D maiden hurdle in November. Went without the hood when pulled up at Fairyhouse next time but the headgear is swiftly refitted and each-way chance if able to get back on track.

Form: 86P

Thisain'tthat⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Daniel King| T: M A Molloy

2/1

Showed plenty to work on when fifth of 15 in maiden hurdle at Punchestown on debut last month. Failed to build on that at the same course 2 weeks later but he remains of interest in view of that initial promise.

Form: 55

Daisy Fingall⁹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead

11/1

Safely held both starts to date and needs to raise her game significantly.

Form: 6-0

Royal Belief⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Ben Harvey| T: C Collins| OR: 97

6/1

Modest maiden on the Flat and efforts in this sphere to date have not been at all inspiring.

Form: 590

Forecasts

Endless Talking (2/1), Thisain'tthat (2/1), Royal Belief (6/1), Blazing Duke (15/2), Brackens Jet (9/1), Daisy Fingall (11/1), Any Chance (22/1), Koeur A Prendre (28/1), L'amiral Fromentin (33/1), Listentomewillya (50/1), El Phenomeno (66/1), Jetstream Jeff (300/1)

ENDLESS TALKING failed to land a blow in a couple of bumpers during the winter but he was a wide-margin winner of his sole start between the flags and is appealing now switched to hurdles in a maiden lacking strength in depth. Blazing Duke and Thisain'tthat can fill the places.
