Copper Coast Maiden Hurdle

Off time: 14:44 | Winning time: 4m 1.00s

Chopsticks¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Alex Harvey| T: J C McConnell

250/1

Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 13.5f) but hasn't shaped with any short-term promise in 2 starts over hurdles.

Form: U0

Sea Eagle¹⁷²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Thomas O'Connor⁽⁷⁾| T: Gerard O'Leary

20/1

Ran no sort of race on the all-weather in late-October but had run to a fair level in a pair of hurdles prior to that. Could be competitive around a sharp 2m if back on song.

Form: 26

Tyson Fury³⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Daniel King| T: D Hogan| D

6/1

Useful stayer at best on Flat and showed plenty to work on when fourth on hurdle debut at Leopardstown in December, before finding a Grade 1 novice all too much. This looks more realistic and arrives on the back of a confidence-boosting success in a Dundalk claimer.

Form: 40

Ballet Queen⁷⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Ricky Doyle| T: M Fahey

25/1

Fairly useful Flat winner showed up well for a long way on return from nearly 5 years off when sixth of 15 on hurdle/stable debut at Punchestown (40/1) in early-February.

Form: 6

Cascando²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Phillip Enright| T: R Tyner

33/1

€16,000 3-y-o, Poet's Word gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner/modest hurdler Midleton Rare and modest hurdler Princess Sophia. Successful on last of 3 starts in points and market should prove the best guide ahead of this Rules debut.

Form: 2P1

Colesberg²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Jordan Canavan⁽⁷⁾| T: J P Flavin

150/1

Well beaten at long odds on both hurdle starts.

Form: 99

Euro Agent⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Danny Gilligan| T: G Elliott

11/1

Showed a bit in a bumper but was behind when running out on hurdle debut at Leopardstown. Has since left Eoin Griffin and is more than likely a handicap project for excellent new yard.

Form: U8R

Kentucky Beach¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Tiernan Power Roche| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 113

7/4

Zestful front runner bounced straight back with a tongue strap refitted when third in a very competitive-looking handicap at Fairyhouse last time, and he may well open his account if reproducing that form on return to maiden company.

Form: 25-2263

Lanzhou²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Shane Fitzgerald| T: J P Flavin

150/1

Fourth on both point starts but has shown nothing in 2 runs over hurdles.

Form: 4400

Let's Go La Fichad^h³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Donagh Meyler| T: R O'Sullivan

12/1

Showed more than in a couple of bumpers when third of 14 in a Wexford novice on hurdles bow, a more positive ride/first-time hood seemingly the catalysts, though this looks a deeper race.

Form: 063

Polepatrick²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead

13/8

Fair placed form in bumpers for Dermot Anthony McLoughlin and settled better in a first-time hood when third on hurdle/stable debut at Clonmel on reappearance. Should improve for that experience and looks a likely player on second start for excellent new yard.

Form: 285-3

Salvador Peps^t⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Michael J Doyle⁽⁷⁾| T: G M Doyle

300/1

Sent off at long odds and yet to complete either start over hurdles.

Form: UP

Porcupine Bank

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott

8/1

Order of St George gelding. Dam unraced sister to useful hurdler/fair chaser (stayed 2½m) Alletrix. Interesting debutant from top yard and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him feature prominently.

Form:

Stone Rulya⁹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Shane O'Callaghan⁽⁵⁾| T: E Doyle

250/1

Fair maiden on the Flat for Ger Lyons but has finished well beaten on both hurdle starts.

Form: 00

Brave Josee^h⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Philip Donovan⁽³⁾| T: D Queally

150/1

No impact either start over hurdles, latterly at Naas on return from 4 months off.

Form: 80

Forecasts

Polepatrick (13/8), Kentucky Beach (7/4), Tyson Fury (6/1), Porcupine Bank (8/1), Euro Agent (11/1), Let's Go La Fichad (12/1), Sea Eagle (20/1), Ballet Queen (25/1), Cascando (33/1), Colesberg (150/1), Brave Josee (150/1), Lanzhou (150/1), Stone Rulya (250/1), Chopsticks (250/1), Salvador Peps (300/1)

KENTUCKY BEACH ran a cracker when third in a fairly useful handicap last time and a repeat may be enough to take this. Polepatrick is open to improvement on second start for Henry de Bromhead, while Tyson Fury could do better returning to calmer waters back over hurdles. Gordon Elliott's newcomer Porcupine Bank is one to note in the betting.
