Shamrock Enterprises Maiden Hurdle

Off time: 16:47 | Winning time: 4m 58.20s

Captain Hanley^h,t²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Phillip Enright| T: E O'Connell

8/1

Fair maiden at best up to 12.5f on the Flat and has taken well to hurdling, finishing second on both completed starts in maidens despite not being seen to best effect when 16 lengths behind Jerry From Kerry in 23.5f event at Punchestown last time. Drop back in trip won't be an issue.

Form: 2U2

Chasing Blues^h⁴¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Mike O'Connor| T: H De Bromhead

20/1

Failed to meet market expectations when eighth of 11 in bumper at Navan on debut and wore hood when slipped up between 4 out and 3 out in maiden hurdle at Killarney in May. Starts out for new connections.

Form: 8/S-

Colwyn Bay¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Dylan Robinson| T: P J Rothwell

200/1

Showed a bit on belated debut when third in bumper at Clonmel in April but little promise from both starts since, including when failing to complete on hurdling debut last time.

Form: 30-F

Ellis Brittle

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Jordan Canavan⁽⁷⁾| T: J P Flavin

100/1

Order of St George gelding. Dam ran twice in bumpers. Likely a longer-term prospect.

Form:

Fou De Toi⁹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: W P Mullins| OR: 118

3/1

Hasn't gone on from stable debut/return last season and ran no sort of race when pulled up on handicap debut last time. Something to prove.

Form: 3/43P-

Great Entirely^t¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Dylan O'Connor⁽⁷⁾| T: P Kiely| OR: 92

33/1

Showed a bit when sixth in maiden on hurdling debut at Wexford in April. Hasn't built on that in 2 starts since, but took a step back in right direction at least when 11½ lengths fifth of 12 to Silly Mongoose at Kilbeggan last time. Step back up in trip will suit but looks one for staying handicaps.

Form: P6-P5

Lastofthenatives⁷⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Alan O'Sullivan⁽⁵⁾| T: W J Burke

150/1

Half-brother to useful hurdler/smart chaser Shoegazer (2½m-25f winner, by Bach): dam unraced: little impact in 3 points.

Form: 55P-

Newbrook Diamond^b⁷²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Danny Gilligan| T: G Elliott| OR: 119

11/4

Placed 5 times over hurdles, showing fairly useful form at best, but below that level on last 2 starts. Sets the standard on pick of efforts but vulnerable to improvers.

Form: 325273-

Seven Towers³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G P Cromwell| BF

11/4

Fair form when placed on 3 of 4 starts in bumpers and ran to a similar level when 5½ lengths third of 15 to Le Roi Du Livet in extended 2m maiden hurdle at Tramore in May. Will be suited by the step up to 2½m and looks sure to progress.

Form: 2/363-33

Tomthescaffolder⁵⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead

9/2

Small promise on first of 2 starts in bumpers, but shaped with a bit more encouragement when 7¾ lengths fourth of 17 to Minella Diamond in maiden at Clonmel on hurdling debut. Entitled to build on that.

Form: 46-4

Nile Star¹³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Shane Markey⁽⁷⁾| T: R O'Sullivan

200/1

Well beaten on all 3 starts in juvenile maiden hurdles.

Form: 000-

Magical Sal¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: J J Slevin| T: C A McBratney

100/1

Modest form at best in 3 bumpers (trained by Conor O'Keeffe first 2), shaping as if in need of a stiffer test, though went with no encouragement when down the field in 2¼m maiden at Downpatrick on hurdling bow.

Form: 63P-57

Midnight Musical⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Aidan Kelly⁽³⁾| T: A McCann| BF

20/1

Made an encouraging bumper debut at Galway last August but most disappointing since and ran to just a poor level when 14½ lengths fifth of 16 to Look Sport in maiden at Kilbeggan on hurdling debut.

Form: 2/2000-5

Rosie Brown²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Josh Younge⁽⁷⁾| T: Ms H P Markham

300/1

Modest form at best in bumpers for Peter Maher and went with no encouragement on stable/hurdling debut last month. RESERVE.

Form: 039-0

Forecasts

Newbrook Diamond (11/4), Seven Towers (11/4), Fou De Toi (3/1), Majestic Horizon (4/1), Tomthescaffolder (9/2), Captain Hanley (8/1), Chasing Blues (20/1), Midnight Musical (20/1), Great Entirely (33/1), Sea Feliz (33/1), Mind Eraser (50/1), Ellis Brittle (100/1), Magical Sal (100/1), Lastofthenatives (150/1), Nile Star (200/1), Colwyn Bay (200/1), Rosie Brown (300/1)

SEVEN TOWERS shaped as though the step up in trip would suit when third on his hurdling debut and is selected to open his account. Newbrook Diamond looks the chief threat if able to rediscover his best, with Captain Hanley also likely to be thereabouts if putting in a clear round.
