Rosslare Strand Hurdle

4YO plus | 3m | Good to Yielding (Good in places) | 4 Runners | Turf

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Peter Smithers⁽⁷⁾| T: P Nolan| OR: 133

Useful handicap hurdler who struggled to scale same heights over fences, never on terms following a mistake in Punchestown listed contest 4 weeks ago. Feasible to think the return to hurdling could well have a positive effect.

4/6

Bumper winner who didn't need to improve when opening his hurdles account in a Limerick maiden (19f) in March. Got no further than the first on handicap debut at Punchestown (20.5f) last time but no surprise to see him quickly back on track.

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Josh Williamson⁽⁵⁾| T: G Elliott| D

11/4

£250,000 point winner who was placed on 2 of his 4 starts in bumpers and looked well served by step up to 3m when making a winning hurdles debut at Punchestown (3m) 2 weeks ago. Connections quickly opt for blinkers but he's open to improvement.

Form: 15336/1

Kiltealy Park⁵³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Alan O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: P Nolan| OR: 116| C

5/1

Successful over hurdles and fences during 2024/25 but his record proved patchy over the larger obstacles last term. Record at this track stands at 112 however, so bounce back can't be ruled out returned to timber.

Forecasts

Dani Donadoni (1/1), Lemmy Caution (2/1), Kiltealy Park (7/1), Rocky's Howya (8/1), Park Of Kings (8/1)

DANI DONADONI got no further than the first on his handicap debut at Punchestown 25 days ago, yet he'd previously been compiling a pretty solid record and is taken to quickly get back on track. Lemmy Caution and Park of Kings head up the dangers.
