Adare Manor Opportunity Maiden Hurdle

Off time: 13:49 | Winning time: 5m 27.30s

Tribal Moon^t¹⁹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Carl Millar⁽²⁾| T: N C Kelly

20/1

Fairly useful Flat winner who was well beaten on hurdling debut for previous yard, but he went close on first start for his new stable at Dundalk in late-November and at least warrants a market check back over hurdles.

Form: 0/

Acheron¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Sexton⁽⁴⁾| T: J J Hanlon

250/1

Has shown nothing to make him of interest over hurdles.

Form: U/00

Gainsville¹⁰⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Patrick M O'Brien⁽²⁾| T: H De Bromhead

10/3

Maiden pointer didn't achieve much when ninth of 16 in a novice hurdle (12/1) at Clonmel (19f, heavy) on Rules debut in February, but he's in excellent hands and should do better at some point.

Form: 322329/

Nevermindestranger³⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Finn Brickley⁽⁴⁾| T: Nigel Johnston| OR: 85

150/1

Point winner who has a patchy record under Rules and was sent off at 100/1 when unseating on reappearance/stable debut here last time.

Form: 79458/U

Texas Red²⁵⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Shane O'Callaghan| T: P J Rothwell

25/1

Didn't offer a great deal in 4 bumper starts for Ronald O'Leary and is likely a longer-term project for new connections.

Form: 6455/

Open Approach⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: James Smith| T: G Elliott

28/1

Sent off at 5/1 when carried out early on hurdling debut at Clonmel (17f). This trip is more in keeping with his pedigree and warrants a close look in the betting for top yard (also saddle Sound Judgement).

Form: D

Seekthisfairland¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Thomas O'Connor⁽⁴⁾| T: P J Rothwell

400/1

Has offered little in a trio of maiden hurdles.

Form: 0/00

Lunar Majesty⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Ross Berry⁽⁴⁾| T: Colm Murphy| OR: 96

5/1

Made more impact than previously when third in a weak Clonmel maiden in early-April and now returns from a short break, having failed to repeat that effort at Tramore subsequently.

Form: 06636/

Sound Judgement⁸⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Josh Williamson| T: G Elliott| BF

1/1

Successful sole outing in points and following a promising hurdling debut second, she disappointed at Clonmel in late-March. However, she's been freshened up for this and should take the beating if back on song.

Form: 13P26/

Surfin Usa⁸⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Charlie O'Dwyer| T: W P Mullins| BF

11/2

Promising second on debut at Sligo but had been off 20 months prior to finishing down the field in a Downpatrick bumper. Entitled to come on for that, though, and given her pedigree/connections is well worth another chance on hurdling debut.

Form: 27/

Toor Idaho³²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Danny Power⁽⁴⁾| T: Ms M Flynn| OR: 81

40/1

Offered little in maiden/handicap company in recent months.

Form: 4PPP9-P

Urra Mass Rock

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Calum Hogan⁽²⁾| T: E Seymour

100/1

Shirocco mare. Half-sister to bumper winner/fair 21f hurdle winner The Boss Bear. Dam (h83) maiden hurdler. Likely to be one for the longer term.

I Can Find Em⁷¹

Weight: 11-4| Age: 5

Majestic Horizon²³

Weight: 11-4| Age: 5

T: P J Rothwell J: Kevin Healy

Forecasts

Sound Judgement (1/1), Gainsville (10/3), Majestic Horizon (9/2), Lunar Majesty (5/1), Surfin Usa (11/2), I Can Find Em (12/1), Tribal Moon (20/1), Texas Red (25/1), Open Approach (28/1), Toor Idaho (40/1), Urra Mass Rock (100/1), Nevermindestranger (150/1), Acheron (250/1), Seekthisfairland (400/1)

SOUND JUDGEMENT looked well capable of winning a race of this nature when runner-up over 2m on hurdle debut and is fancied to bounce back from a lesser effort last time. Hurdling debutants Surfin USA and Majestic Horizon appeal as the likely dangers.
