Fair maiden on Flat. Well held at long odds both hurdle starts.
|
Failed to complete both starts in points. Shaped a bit better than the bare result in pair of maiden hurdles. Will be better off in handicaps.
|
Related to some fairly useful types. Looked one for the longer term when (125/1) tenth of 18 in novice hurdle at Limerick (2½m) on debut 8 days ago.
|
Pulled up in each of 4 starts in points/under Rules.
|
Showed ability in a couple of maiden hurdles. Didn't build on that in a bumper at Listowel last time. Reverts to hurdling in a first-time tongue strap, and he may just be one for handicaps.
|
Point/bumper winner. Looked set to improve on his hurdling debut form before losing all momentum at the second last (badly hampered) at Tramore last August. Capable of better and could go close if excellent yard has him ready to roll.
|
Fair performer in bumpers. Ran to a similar level when third on hurdling debut at Clonmel (17f) in first-time tongue strap (runner-up won since). Entitled to be in the mix if building on that.
|
Unpromising in points and shaped accordingly on hurdling debut at Wexford.
|
Stoutly-bred sort. Showed more than previously when fourth under this amateur on hurdling debut at Limerick (2m, soft) in late-May. Not discounted if building on that under contrasting conditions.
|
Placed both bumper starts. Fairly useful fifth in strong Punchestown maiden in 2024/25 season. Shaped as if in need of the run on handicap bow at Punchestown latest (following 14 months). Tongue strap now added and looks interesting if back to his best on return to a maiden.
|
Hard to fancy on the back of a hurdling debut to forget at Clonmel.
|
Shirocco gelding. Dam, modest maiden over hurdles/fences (stayed 3m), sister to fair hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 2½m) Kilmurry. Will probably need more time/distance.
|
Son of Cracksman. Fairly useful winner of 1¼m Chelmsford handicap on final start for Jane Chapple-Hyam in January. Subsequently sold for 82,000 gns and has been gelded ahead of his hurdling/stable debut. Looks an interesting contender.
|
From family yard knows well. Landed the odds in emphatic fashion in a thin Punchestown bumper on debut. Things clearly haven't gone to plan since, folding tamely on return/hurdling at Punchestown last month. Wouldn't be a surprise if top yard has her back on song, though.
|
Arctic Cosmos mare. Half-sister to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Dumhach Thra, stayed 2½m, and fairly useful hurdler Devil's Glen, stayed 2½m. Dam, fair 2m hurdle winner, also 1¼m winner on Flat. More likely to make an impact down the line.
|
Lucky Speed mare. Half-sister to modest 2m hurdle winner Saratoga Lass. Dam unraced sister to bumper winner/useful hurdler (stayed 2½m) Grangeclare Lark. Makes belated debut and doesn't look an obvious type on paper.
|
Well held on bumper and hurdling debut at Downpatrick. Remains with plenty to prove.
|
Motivator mare. Finished ahead of a subsequent winner on debut before getting off the mark in a Downpatrick bumper last September (fourth since won over hurdles). Commands plenty of respect now sent hurdling by leading stable following 9 months off.
|
Bred to need time/distance and shaped in kind on hurdling debut at Punchestown.
|
Pulled up in a point. Never landed a blow second time up over hurdles at Punchestown. Handicaps seemingly the aim.
|
Forecasts
Easter Bonnet (2/1), Minella Post (5/2), Moja Dama (9/2), Cosmos D'ainay (6/1), It's All Clear (7/1), Lucky Vick (10/1), Hinchinbrooke (18/1), Cloonbonniffe (25/1), Alentejo (80/1), Ballyminnion Boy (150/1), Trotters Traders (200/1), Epona Lady (250/1), Carry On Star (250/1), Pixie Hill (300/1), Boomerang Breeze (300/1), Lastofthenatives (300/1), My Poetic Queen (300/1), Magical Act (300/1), Quest With Copper (400/1), Gc Star Speed (500/1)
MINELLA POST has a solid chance to get off the mark if back to his best. Cosmos D'Ainay will be dangerous if ready to roll, while hurdling debutants Moja Dama and Hinchinbrooke both appeal in an open-looking maiden.
- Minella Post5/2
- Moja Dama9/2
