TRM Supporting Every Stride Of The Journey Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 16:52 | Winning time: 5m 47.60s

Maverick Mack¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Kevin Sexton| T: G Elliott| OR: 122

33/1

Came on plenty for his sole outing in bumpers when winning a maiden hurdle at Gowran last November. Failed to complete both handicap starts (through no fault of his own at Ballinrobe last time) and his mark looks on the high side.

Form: 2/813U-B

William Tell^t²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Peter Smithers⁽⁷⁾| T: D H Kelly| OR: 118

5/1

Made a positive start to his hurdling career with a double at Thurles/Cork but all of a sudden has something to prove, having again finished well held on return/handicap debut at Killarney.

Form: P2116/9

Ottoman Style^b,t²³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-9| J: Liam McKenna⁽³⁾| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 117| D

22/1

Clearly hasn't been the easiest to train, but he proved that some ability remains intact when fourth of 8 at Kilbeggan (50/1) on reappearance, and it'll be interesting to see if the market expects him to build on that.

Form: 77P0P/4

Beyond Your Dreams^b1¹³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Aidan Kelly⁽³⁾| T: P Roche| OR: 114

11/1

Winner of a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle for Joseph Patrick O'Brien, but she failed to fire in either start for current yard last January, and it's hardly a sign of confidence that blinkers are reached for.

Form: 219098/

Falcon Eight^p³⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-4| J: Ben Harvey| T: D K Weld| OR: 112

18/1

Veteran doesn't look the force of old and he was behind when unseating on return to hurdles at this track (19f) in late-April.

Form: 52070U/

Jackmoon^t²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Jordan Canavan⁽⁷⁾| T: J P Flavin| OR: 109| BF

9/2

Has placed on 4 of his 5 starts over hurdles, including a narrow defeat in a Cork maiden and a creditable third in a competitive event on handicap debut at Wexford (3m) last time. Looks a fairly solid proposition and a similar performance may be enough to take this.

Form: 2P522/3

Streets Of Doyen^t²²⁴

Age: 12| Weight: 11-0| J: Conor Brassil⁽³⁾| T: M Brassil| OR: 108| D

11/1

Veteran who failed to complete on his last 3 starts for John McConnell in 2024. Has since joined a new yard and has plenty to prove reverted to hurdles.

Form: UPU45P/

Good World^p⁴⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 10-12| J: Shane O'Callaghan⁽⁵⁾| T: E Griffin| OR: 106| D

22/1

Resumed winning ways in a Fairyhouse handicap hurdle last November, and although never involved over fences on return at Kilbeggan, he's weighted to be competitive if on a going day back hurdling.

Form: 95701P/

Juke Hill^p¹²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Calum Hogan⁽⁵⁾| T: G Elliott| OR: 103| BF

9/1

Point runner-up who failed to justify support in first-time cheekpieces on handicap bow at Thurles (heavy) in late-January. Clearly thought capable of better, though, and at least warrants a market check on return.

Form: 252557/

Morell River²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Ricky Doyle| T: C Bowe| OR: 102

10/3

Made it 2-2 at Wexford (2½m) with a smooth-travelling success on her return from 6 months off. That looks solid form for the grade, and with high hopes that this longer trip will suit, she's entitled to be firmly in the mix.

Form: 04518/1

Accustomed⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Harry Sexton⁽⁷⁾| T: E D Delany| OR: 99| D

4/1

Gambled-on second at Downpatrick in March but is now tried over a significantly longer trip having finished well held both starts since (probably did too much too soon in first-time blinkers here latest).

Form: 0062P0/

Work Place^p1¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Philip Donovan⁽³⁾| T: R Hackett| OR: 97

80/1

Remains with little form and first-time cheekpieces unlikely to make a difference.

Form: 30400/7

Smackwater Jack²⁵

Age: 12| Weight: 10-0| J: Ethan O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs D Foster| OR: 81| CD

22/1

Veteran C&D winner arrives out of sorts and faces a tall order at the weights.

Form: 55470/9

Forecasts

Morell River (10/3), Accustomed (4/1), Jackmoon (9/2), William Tell (5/1), Juke Hill (9/1), Beyond Your Dreams (11/1), Streets Of Doyen (11/1), Falcon Eight (18/1), Smackwater Jack (22/1), Good World (22/1), Ottoman Style (22/1), Maverick Mack (33/1), Work Place (80/1)

In a tricky handicap, consistent JACKMOON looks the most solid option. Morell River isn't fully exposed and appeals as the main danger.
