Bet With Tote.ie On Racing & Sports Handicap Hurdle (0-100) (Div 1)

4YO plus | 2m 3f 116y | 19 Runners | Turf

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Michael Kenneally⁽⁵⁾| T: C O'Keeffe| OR: 95

Shaped quite well on return from 6 months off when fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (2m, good to soft) 24 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Cheekpieces back on and not taken lightly eased slightly in grade.

Form: P504P/4-

Charlie's Gift²²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Eoin Walsh| T: J M Burke| OR: 94

Showed improved form when third at Kilbeggan on handicap debut in July but didn't look the most willing both starts after. Off 7 months and cheekpieces left off.

Form: 077387/

Whiskey Serenade^t1³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 93

Minor promise only both chase starts in the autumn and held back by jumping returned to hurdles at Cork on last month's return to action. Tongue strap now on.

Form: 73P69/7-

Andyourbirdcansing²⁰²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Kevin Healy⁽⁷⁾| T: J P Ryan| OR: 90

Twenty runs since last win in 2024 and ended last year out of form. Well weighted but easy enough to look elsewhere on reappearance.

Form: U44F50/

Global Skies^h⁶⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Donagh Meyler| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 90

Fairly useful on Flat (stays 1¼m) and shaped better than the distance beaten in testing conditions (possibly unsuited) on handicap hurdle bow here in January. No impact at Gowran next time but now up in trip away from the mud with hood back on.

Form: 490/78-

Thewaybackhome¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: John Shinnick| T: T O'Brien| OR: 88

Little to shout about in his qualifying runs.

Form: 862/970-

Sarah's Express²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Danny Mullins| T: P A Fahy| OR: 87

Again shaped like a stayer when respectable fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Eased 2 lb but will need a good test kept to this sort of trip.

Form: 785P/44-

The Sugarhill Lady^t³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Tom Kelly⁽⁷⁾| T: E McNamara| OR: 87

Confirmed she's back in good order when fourth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Cork (2m, soft) 38 days ago. Back up in trip so one to consider.

Form: P8P66/4-

Itaintmebabe^h¹⁶⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: James Smith⁽⁵⁾| T: G Elliott| OR: 85| D

Made a winning handicap debut at Fakenham in October. Below form fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Lingfield (19f, good) 168 days ago proving too free but he's since made an interesting stable switch. One to watch closely in the market.

Form: 467175/

Ixigreczed^b⁴⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Conor Clarke⁽⁷⁾| T: E Seymour| OR: 84

Most positive hurdles effort for a while with blinkers on for the first time when sixth of 16 in handicap hurdle at this course (19f, heavy) 49 days ago. Return to drying ground in her favour and she's weighted to strike.

Form: 70090/6-

Little Boy Sivola^p⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 84

No better than mid-field over hurdles so needs to raise his game.

Form: 70906/0-

Set The Tone^t²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Flanagan| T: D M O'Brien| OR: 81

Hasn't yet run close to form this season.

Form: 400/PP8-

Lady Aquarelle⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Sam Ewing| T: T Cooper| OR: 79

Low-key start to her career but handicaps are more suitable, at least.

Form: FF6/009-

Galilean Prince^p³⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: Gary Noonan| T: E McCarthy| OR: 77

Looks very limited on early evidence.

Form: 0000/

Cruisin Susan¹³³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: Mr J P Berry⁽⁷⁾| T: J A Berry| OR: 75

Thirteen runs since last win in 2024 and doesn't look ready to cash in on her much-reduced mark, thirteenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (2¾m, soft) in January.

Form: 90P57/0-

Hob's Angel²⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 10-3| J: Josh Williamson⁽⁵⁾| T: J Barcoe| OR: 72

Long-standing maiden who didn't show enough when sixth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (2½m, good to soft) on return 25 days ago to seriously consider her.

Form: 08460/6-

Carlas Big Jim²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Reserve 1| T: L J Archdeacon| OR: 82| C| D

Twenty four runs since last win in 2024 but was in the process of running well when fell in handicap hurdle at Limerick (19f, heavy, 8/1) 28 days ago. Can make presence felt. RESERVE.

Form: 5/P609F-

Cholo²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: Reserve 2| T: M Butler| OR: 77

Good sixth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (2m, good to soft, 22/1) 24 days ago, unable to sustain effort on return from 8 months off. That was a promising run for this sort of level. RESERVE.

Form: 00005/6-

Ballinagaine Girl²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Reserve 3| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 79

Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 28/1, fourteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (21f, good to soft) 24 days ago. RESERVE.

Form: 0670/0-

Forecasts

Kilbarry Ce Ce (9/2), Itaintmebabe (5/1), The Sugarhill Lady (11/2), Whiskey Serenade (8/1), Lady Aquarelle (10/1), Hob's Angel (10/1), Carlas Big Jim (10/1), Cholo (10/1), Ixigreczed (10/1), Sarah's Express (10/1), Andyourbirdcansing (12/1), Global Skies (12/1), Little Boy Sivola (14/1), Charlie's Gift (14/1), Thewaybackhome (16/1), Ballinagaine Girl (25/1), Set The Tone (25/1), Cruisin Susan (33/1), Galilean Prince (50/1)

IXIGRECZED shaped as though back in good order with blinkers on when sixth here in March and with this drying ground expected to suit, she could be the way to go. Itaintmebabe has joined Gordon Elliott so an improved performance would come as no surprise, with Kilbarry Ce Ce also of some interest eased in class.
