Killarney Park 3-Y-O Maiden Hurdle

Off time: 13:32 | Winning time: -

Balance Of Trade^p¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Ben Mulligan⁽⁷⁾| T: Paul Mulligan

150/1

Modest maiden on the Flat at up to 1¼m. Making second start since leaving Michael Mulvany, offered something to work on sent hurdling when fifth of 9 in juvenile maiden at Limerick 15 days ago. Cheekpieces on for first time in this code.

Form: 5

Connor Of Mali¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Alan O'Sullivan⁽⁵⁾| T: L J Archdeacon

300/1

Well held on Flat debut in October and, after 9 months off (gelded), fared no better sent hurdling when pulled up in juvenile maiden at Limerick early this month.

Form: P

Delusional²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Shane O'Callaghan⁽³⁾| T: P Maher

28/1

Fair maiden on the Flat (stays 11f) but below form last 2 starts, tried in eyeshields and blinkers when third of 7 in claimer at Ballinrobe (9.7f) 25 days ago. Makes hurdling debut on first run since leaving Daniel McLoughlin.

Form:

Divelment⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Patrick M O'Brien⁽⁵⁾| T: W Durkan

12/1

Ran to a fair level on the Flat (stays 10.5f). Making first start since leaving Jack W. Davison, again below form when eighth of 11 in maiden at Down Royal in May, but he's one to note over hurdles given the pick of his Flat form.

Form:

Minella Buoy^h1⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Daniel King| T: J Nallen

13/2

Didn't make much impact in a trio of maidens on the Flat last year and failed to improve on seasonal/handicap debut when sixth of 14 at Gowran (9.5f) last month. Hood applied as he goes over hurdles.

Form:

Notahairoutofplace¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Michael Kenneally⁽⁵⁾| T: R K Watson

400/1

Always behind on sole outing on the Flat last month and made an inauspicious start over hurdles, swerving and unseating rider at the second in juvenile maiden at Limerick 15 days ago.

Form: U

Private Larry^h¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: Alan McIntyre

13/2

Showed improved form on the Flat when winning 16-runner handicap at Bellewstown (1½) 2 weeks ago, despite having again been very slowly away. Hood retained as he makes his hurdling bow.

Form:

Words Unspoken¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Phillip Enright| T: S Curling

5/1

Was the only newcomer in the race but shaped with encouragement when fourth of 9 in juvenile maiden hurdle at Limerick 15 days ago. Leading contender with the benefit of that experience behind him.

Form: 4

Cite Florale⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead

5/6

Mid-field on Flat debut but fair form when placed both starts in maidens this year, second of 10 at Dundalk (1½m) in May on latest outing. Interesting switched to hurdling for her leading yard.

Form:

Honey Dale²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: Alix Balfe⁽⁷⁾| T: Paul Mulligan

200/1

One of better efforts on the level when fifth of 14 in handicap at Down Royal (7f) in May. However, she seemingly failed to stay 9.7f when well held at Ballinrobe 25 days ago. Now tried over hurdles.

Form:

Misty Cove⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: Conor Stone-Walsh| T: G P Cromwell

10/1

Making a quick switch to handicaps on the Flat, showed improved form when making all at Sligo (10.7f) in May. Wasn't in the same form next time but appeals as the type to bounce back quickly. Respected as she starts off over hurdles.

Form:

No Bother Aoife^t⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: Kevin Sexton| T: G P Cromwell

12/1

Upped to 1½m, produced best effort on the Flat when fourth of 16 in handicap at Bellewstown early this month. However, was only mid-field at this course (11.3f) 4 days ago. Tongue strap retained on hurdling debut.

Form:

Forecasts

Cite Florale (5/6), Words Unspoken (5/1), Minella Buoy (13/2), Private Larry (13/2), Misty Cove (10/1), No Bother Aoife (12/1), Divelment (12/1), Delusional (28/1), Balance Of Trade (150/1), Honey Dale (200/1), Connor Of Mali (300/1), Notahairoutofplace (400/1)

WORDS UNSPOKEN made the frame at Limerick in the first juvenile hurdle of the season and he can build on that effort to open his account. The pick of the hurdling debutants could be Cite Florale, who placed in a pair of Flat maidens during the spring for her much-respected yard, ahead of Misty Cove.
