Sweeney Oil Handicap Hurdle (0-100) (Div 1)

Off time: 19:09 | Winning time: 5m 36.80s

Madame Masque^t1²⁰⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 93

12/1

A winning pointer who finished well down the field on all 3 starts in maiden hurdles but looks open to improvement now stepped up markedly in trip and in a first-time tongue strap on handicap debut.

Form: P31/000-

It's Time Again^p⁴⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: Liam McKenna⁽³⁾| T: David Barry| OR: 92| CD

13/2

Veteran mare who won at this course in April 2025 and looked set to add to that success when falling 2 out in handicap won by Sallap at Clonmel last month, still 3 lengths clear at the time. The winner that day has gone in again since, so of obvious interest racing from just 2 lb higher here.

Form: 31/6-0PF

Run For The Border⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Michael Kenneally⁽⁵⁾| T: J P Ryan| OR: 92

13/8

Won 19f Limerick maiden last season and posted best effort since when 5¼ lengths third of 18 to Larkins Lane in handicap there last time. Yard back among the winners of late so can't be easily dismissed for all she has stamina to prove at this trip.

Form: 67157-3

Vroomvroomboo^t³⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Conor Smithers⁽⁷⁾| T: J Fahey| OR: 86

14/1

Modest maiden hurdler. Shaped as if needing run when eighth of 10 at Downpatrick on return. Plenty to find.

Form: 35050-8

Coppola³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Joshua Halford⁽⁷⁾| T: G Elliott| OR: 85

8/1

Much improved when runner-up in handicap hurdles on first 3 starts for current yard, including over 3m. Made inauspicious start over fences on return at Downpatrick in June but claims if bouncing back now returned to hurdling,

Form: 8222P-P

Ranger Billy^p⁶¹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-13| J: J J Slevin| T: K A Heffernan| OR: 84

50/1

Winning hurdler who was badly out of sorts on both outings last season and has showed nothing over on either start for current connections this time around.

Form: 15/P0-PP

Whatyouwant^p¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Gary Noonan| T: Gerard Kyne| OR: 79| C

11/1

Stepped up on reappearance when 9 lengths fifth of 15 to Knocknagoran Lady at Kilbeggan 11 days ago but needs to take another forward step if she's to feature here.

Form: 061P-75

Not So Serious^p1¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Danny Mullins| T: W J Lanigan| OR: 78

50/1

Hinted at ability in bumpers for previous yard but no encouragement over hurdles for current connections.

Form: 00-0PPP

Tantrum Boy⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Phillip Enright| T: B McMahon| OR: 78

10/1

Little form over hurdles, including in handicaps last 2 starts.

Form: 070-08

Coole Vision⁴²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: Peter Smithers⁽⁷⁾| T: N Lee| OR: 77

25/1

Pulled up in a point in the spring before offering little on belated return to Rules at Sligo (2¼m) last month. Should stay further than 19f but hard to recommend.

Form: 40P4/P-0

Will It Be You^p¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: Brian Hayes| T: L P Cusack| OR: 77| CD

18/1

Modest handicap hurdler who won over C&D in May 2024 but has largely been out of sorts since. Handicapper has given him a chance but unlikely to be of interest unless the market suggests otherwise.

Form: 00/80P-9

Lost Features⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: Philip Donovan| T: D Collins| OR: 74

66/1

No impact over hurdles, including in handicaps on last 3 outings

Form: 8P9-98P

John Dixen^p⁵⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Simon Torrens| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 77

12/1

Showed first form when 14¼ lengths sixth of 13 to Laska Du Breuil on handicap debut at Limerick in May. This requires significantly more, however.

Form: P000-6

Sineads Fancy^p⁵⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-1| J: Daniel King| T: S Ryan| OR: 72| D

15/2

Is far more miss than hit nowadays but has dropped to a basement mark and is capable of being involved on a going day.

Form: 003P-79

Light Her Up²²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Eoghan Finegan⁽⁵⁾| T: H P Finegan| OR: 80

25/1

Maiden well held again in Fairyhouse handicap when last seen in December and needs more to figure back in trip. RESERVE.

Form: 086/460-

Run For The Border (13/8), Tannery Park (5/2), It's Time Again (13/2), Sineads Fancy (15/2), Coppola (8/1), Tantrum Boy (10/1), Whatyouwant (11/1), John Dixen (12/1), Madame Masque (12/1), Vroomvroomboo (14/1), Bearami Creek (14/1), My Good Pal (16/1), Will It Be You (18/1), Light Her Up (25/1), Coole Vision (25/1), Ballinaboola Hanna (33/1), Not So Serious (50/1), Ranger Billy (50/1), Lost Features (66/1)

IT'S TIME AGAIN looked an unlucky loser at Clonmel last time and, with that form working out well, she is taken to gain compensation. Coppola filled the runner-up spot 3 times over hurdles last season and rates the main danger if reproducing that form, with Sineads Fancy and the unexposed Madame Masque also respected.
