Garvey's Bar, Ballintubber Maiden Hurdle

Made little impression on his first start when twelfth of 14 in maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan, jumping right, and he's probably a longer-term project.

Flashed his tail before finishing tailed off in a Punchestown bumper on debut. Now sent hurdling in first-time tongue strap but looks unlikely to make an impact.

Went backwards from an encouraging start (well-backed fourth behind Cinating) when well held at Killarney on return from 9 weeks off, though he cannot be discounted on his debut form, and is worth keeping an eye on in the betting.

Castle Du Berlais gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fair hurdle winner/fairly useful chaser Enrichissant and dual French bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Dont Hesitate. Dam maiden bumper performer in France. More likely to be one for the longer term.

Showed more than first time up when (66/1) sixth of 14 in a Cork juvenile that had already produced a couple of subsequent winners. That form sets a fair standard, with confidence even higher if supported.

Maiden by Starspangledbanner who has fair form over 7f-9f on the Flat but has stamina to prove on hurdle debut. First-time tongue strap added to previously worn cheekpieces.

Has offered little in either hurdle start to date.

Inexpensive purchase shaped as though in need of the experience when mid-field in a Killarney maiden on debut and is likely to need more time.

From an above-average jumping family, she showed fair form to hit the frame all 3 starts in bumpers and was in the process of making an encouraging start over hurdles when falling 2 out at Ballinrobe. Addition of first-time hood looks a positive and this looks a good opportunity to make amends.

Showed more than on debut when (300/1) well-held fourth of 10 at Ballinrobe, finishing with running left, and she's seemingly being brought along with handicaps in mind.

Consistent in academy hurdles last winter, finishing second of 14 at Naas on final start for Joseph Patrick O'Brien in mid-December, and she's expected to give another good account on debut for new yard.

Runner-up in 1¼m Munich maiden on sole outing on Flat for Marcel Weiss last October. Wears hood for hurdle/stable debut and certainly warrants a market check.
