Chautuaqua²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Donagh Meyler| T: D Hogan| OR: 97| C

18/1

Bumper winner but long-standing maiden over hurdles. Showed she retains her ability after 12 months off when second of 10 in maiden at Gowran in March, though tailed off at Clonmel later in the month. Unseated rider at the first at Tramore last time.

Form: U5P/20U-

The Fog Horn^p⁶⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr P W Gleeson⁽⁷⁾| T: S G O'Donnell

250/1

Fair handicapper at best on Flat (stays 7f) but no form since 2023 and offered little on hurdles debut at Gowran (2m, heavy, 125/1) 68 days ago. Cheekpieces go on.

Form: 7-

Another Blunder³⁰⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Alan O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: Michael Barry

125/1

Twice-raced maiden. Still needed experience when tenth of 16 in bumper (125/1) at Cork (17f, good). Off 10 months. Makes hurdles debut.

Form: 70/

Carleys Lilly

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Michael Kenneally⁽⁵⁾| T: J P Ryan

66/1

Blue Bresil mare. Half-sister to bumper winner/fair 23f hurdle winner Chance The Robin out of a dam closely related to high-class chaser Snoopy Loopy. Yard not traditionally associated with debut winners.

Form:

Crossbar Getaway²⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Sam Ewing| T: G Elliott

14/1

Placed on first 2 bumper outings since joining this powerful yard but well below that level both starts over hurdles so far. Returns from 8-month absence here.

Form: 092349/

Game Phoenix¹⁹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Dylan Whelan⁽⁷⁾| T: Paul Power| OR: 98

11/1

Modest hurdler who posted a respectable third in a maiden at Killarney in August. Seemingly failed to stay when tenth of 11 in novice chase at Thurles (2¼m, good to soft, 11/1) on debut over fences. Off 6 months. Place claims in weak race.

Form: 305330/

Heatherhill Lady

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Kevin A Murphy⁽⁷⁾| T: D Queally

66/1

Zambezi Sun mare. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler Ted Hastings (2m-2½m winner). Dam lightly raced in bumpers/over hurdles. Watch for market clues.

Form:

Jumbos Jet^h⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: W J Martin| OR: 98

3/1

Has improved with each run over hurdles, progressing again in first-time hood when second of 9 in novice hurdle (8/1) at Wexford (2m, heavy) 58 days ago. Should be in the mix again.

Form: 632-

Kaleo Ametsa^t¹³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Phillip Enright| T: J Halley

7/1

Running well in third when falling late on hurdles debut but only ninth of 11 at Leopardstown (2½m, good to soft) next time. Off 136 days since.

Form: 6496F9/

Laura's Choice

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Gary Noonan| T: E McCarthy

150/1

Renaissance Man mare. Dam ran once over hurdles. Doesn't make much appeal on paper.

Form:

Mrs Mason

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Josh Williamson⁽⁵⁾| T: G J Power

100/1

Vadamos mare. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser The Greek and fair chaser Templebredin. Doesn't strike as an obvious debut winner.

Form:

Muted Melody^h¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Danny Mullins| T: A Mullins

8/1

Steady progress in 4 bumper runs last year, albeit possibly flattered in a steadily-run listed event at Gowran in October. Stiff task when ninth of 21 in bumper (100/1) at Punchestown (19f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Respected hurdling newcomer.

Form: 9434/9-

Nirisque²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 107

6/5

Promising second in fillies juvenile hurdle at Compiegne on debut, her only start for N. George & A. Zetterholm and back on track when second of 12 in novice hurdle at Tramore (2m, good to soft, 15/8) 25 days ago. Sets the standard.

Form: 20/2-

Our Girl Ellie^h¹⁹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Cian Quirke| T: S Ryan| OR: 93

7/1

Remains a maiden after 7 hurdle runs but was a creditable sixth of 12 in handicap at Thurles (2½m, good to soft, 12/1). Drop back in trip should suit after 6 months off.

Form: 625636/

Shine Bright⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Ryan Treacy| T: Mrs J Cashin

300/1

Yet to show any ability in bumper or on 3 starts over hurdles.

Form: 7/00U-

Torque De Lune¹⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Josh Younge⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Hanlon

200/1

Well held in 2 bumpers, so easy to oppose on hurdles bow.

Form: 40/

Wings Of Africa³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: P J O'Hanlon| T: W J Lanigan

200/1

Has shown little in 3 starts.

Forecasts

Nirisque (6/5), Jumbos Jet (3/1), Kaleo Ametsa (7/1), Our Girl Ellie (7/1), Muted Melody (8/1), Game Phoenix (11/1), Crossbar Getaway (14/1), Chautuaqua (18/1), Carleys Lilly (66/1), Heatherhill Lady (66/1), Mrs Mason (100/1), Another Blunder (125/1), Laura's Choice (150/1), Wings Of Africa (200/1), Arizona Robbins (200/1), Torque De Lune (200/1), The Fog Horn (250/1), Shine Bright (300/1)

NIRISQUE sets the standard on her recent Tramore second and can get off the mark at the chief expense of the steadily-progressive Jumbos Jet. Our Girl Ellie can complete the placings.
