Bulmers Berries Handicap Hurdle (0-100) (Div 1)

4YO plus | 2m 113y | Good (Good to Yielding in places) | 16 Runners | Turf

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mike O'Connor| T: P T Foley| OR: 100| BF

Went close at Cork last month before shaping well to finish fourth over C&D, and though arriving on the back of a lesser effort over a longer trip at Kilbeggan last time, she warrants another chance returning to this track.

Form: 32624P/

Tingarran Express²²

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Carl Millar⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss D O'Shea| OR: 100| C

7/1

Dual course winner probably needed the run 11 weeks on from her reappearance when sixth of 10 at this track but is still 2 lb above the mark she won off at Tramore last summer.

Form: 93514/6

Ishan²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-13| J: Shane Fitzgerald| T: Leonard Flynn| OR: 99

18/1

Three-time hurdle winner in heavy ground, he was always behind on first run since leaving S. Curling here last month but could make more impact now eased in grade.

Form: 8P359/8

Small Bucks^h,t²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Hugh Horgan⁽⁵⁾| T: P E Collins| OR: 96| D

15/2

Still 3 lb higher than when landing her sole career success at Cork last summer and could only run to a similar level as on her previous start when fourth of 12 at Downpatrick.

Form: 180P/74

Hatfield Hammer^p¹⁹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Alan O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: P Nolan| OR: 94| D

15/2

Endured a luckless couple of starts over fences before finishing last year on a low note in a handicap hurdle at Thurles, though he was successful on return from a similar break at Wexford this time last year and is fancied to go well.

Form: 1256P9/

Timurshah¹⁹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Conor Smithers⁽⁷⁾| T: Aidan Melia| OR: 93

22/1

Fairly useful maiden on the Flat. Well held 4 hurdle starts for Philip M. Byrne and still looks too high in the weights on return for new yard.

Form: 0060/

Urban War⁵¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Gavin Brouder| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 93

25/1

On the back of a long absence, finished well held at long odds in 3 maidens in this sphere and hasn't looked the same horse on the Flat subsequently. Now switches to a handicap hurdle.

Form: 700/

Mon Sheriffe⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Dylan Robinson| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 90

7/1

Maiden who stopped the slide when sixth of 12 at Bellewstown before possibly finding the quick turnaround against him when pulled up at Kilbeggan last time. Has been given more time between races and isn't discounted off a falling mark.

Form: 636P6P/

Gentle Annie^t²¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: John Shinnick| T: T O'Brien| OR: 89

9/1

Finished third at Tramore over 2m on qualifying run but failed by long to chalk to match that effort when down the field over a longer trip at Fairyhouse (2½m, soft) on handicap bow last November.

Form: 5039/

Boogie Inthejungle^t1²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Eoghan Finegan⁽⁷⁾| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 93

12/1

Maiden hasn't matched her fair Flat form over hurdles, running to a similar level as previously when eighth of 13 on handicap hurdle debut at Wexford. Tongue goes on for the first time.

Form: 0F06/8

Marlpark⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Philip Donovan⁽³⁾| T: J P Ryan| OR: 88| CD

8/1

Has a good course record (including sole career win over C&D) and having stopped the slide when fourth at Limerick on his latest start, he now looks potentially well treated for yard who won this race last year.

Form: 40200/4

Frontier Rose²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: James Smith⁽⁵⁾| T: Thomas Coyle| OR: 86

40/1

Always behind on handicap debut at Downpatrick following 4 months off and looks to have plenty to find at the weights.

Form: 67090/0

Max Meridius²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Ben Harvey| T: T Mullins| OR: 86

10/1

Flat bred who showed ability on bumper debut but hasn't seen out his race in either handicap hurdle start, proving too keen back under less testing conditions when twelfth of 19 at Punchestown latest.

Form: 00009/0

Benzine⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Danny Power⁽⁷⁾| T: J Morrison| OR: 80

6/1

Maiden hasn't typically been the most consistent, but following a promising chase debut, he shaped better than the beaten distance back over hurdles when sixth of 13 at Kilbeggan last time.

Form: 6060/26

Keep It Together²³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: Ben Kennedy⁽⁷⁾| T: D Buckley| OR: 77

100/1

Yet to show any ability in varied events.

Form: P0F7P/P

Dontdooddson²⁰

Age: 13| Weight: 10-0| J: Jordan Canavan⁽⁷⁾| T: D Collins| OR: 72| CD

10/1

Shaped with a little encouragement when third on return but he was forced wide/hung left when down the field at Wexford last time and isn't the easiest to win with.

Forecasts

Gino Bella (11/4), Benzine (13/2), Boogie Inthejungle (15/2), Dontdooddson (15/2), Small Bucks (15/2), Mon Sheriffe (8/1), Marlpark (10/1), Tingarran Express (10/1), Theanniversary Man (11/1), Urban War (16/1), Ishan (16/1), Hatfield Hammer (16/1), Max Meridius (16/1), Gentle Annie (20/1), Frontier Rose (20/1), Timurshah (50/1), Keep It Together (66/1)

MARLPARK has fallen to a handy mark and gets the vote in a competitive handicap. Gino Bella could be dangerous if back on song, while Hatfield Hammer is respected, having made a winning return this time last year.
