Barton Sky¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Daniel King| T: J J Hanlon

10/1

Winning pointer. Shaped with encouragement on hunter chase debut in December 2024 but not seen under Rules again until remote fifth in maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan 17 days ago.

Form: 62P/2P-5

Boomerang Breeze³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr D Doyle⁽⁷⁾| T: T Doyle

80/1

Related to some fairly useful types but more one for the longer term based on his 2 runs last month.

Form: 09

Derby Rock^t¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr P A King⁽³⁾| T: James King| OR: 80

25/1

Modest maiden. First run since leaving Mouse Morris when tenth of 15 in handicap chase at Wexford (25f, good to firm, 9/1) 19 days ago. Others are preferred back hurdling.

Form: 0576-F0

Gainsville⁵⁷

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

3/1

Maiden pointer. Better effort in maiden hurdles when sixth of 12 at Downpatrick (2¾m, good to firm) 57 days ago. May do better again for leading stable.

Keep Em Quite⁸⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Danny Gilligan| T: C Collins| OR: 102

15/8

Jet Away gelding who was placed in a point and ran to a fair level when fifth of 13 on 3m Wexford handicap hurdle debut in May. A repeat of that form should see him bang on the premises here.

Form: 33505-5

Kilmond Knight⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Alan O'Sullivan⁽⁵⁾| T: David Barry

80/1

Pulled up sole outing in points and well held on both completed starts over hurdles. Unlikely to be of interest until handicapping.

Form: P-U07

Rumi Rock¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Phillip Enright| T: Edward F Power

9/1

More one for handicaps based on his efforts in maiden hurdles at Ballinrobe and Galway last month.

Form: P/76-060

Three County Star²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Conor Smithers⁽⁷⁾| T: B Mortell| OR: 76

28/1

Long-standing maiden who has little in his record to think a first success is likely to arrive now.

Form: 85-056P

300/1

No show in 2 maiden hurdles and a bumper.

Form: P-00

Room For One More²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Brian Hayes| T: W P Mullins

18/1

Well-bred mare in the best hands but she's been well held in a Leopardstown bumper and a Downpatrick maiden hurdle 4 months apart. Way too soon to write off but needs to find plenty of improvement for the much longer trip.

Form: 6-9

Secret Moon²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Josh Younge⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Hanlon

150/1

Last of 6 finishers sole start in points and little encouragement in a pair of maiden hurdles last month.

Form: 688

Form: 232P0-0

Western Shores^t1³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR: 98

4/1

Signs of ability when fifth in maiden hurdles at the start of the summer. Well held at Bellewstown last month but could bounce back with a tongue tie added.

Form: 556

Forecasts

Keep Em Quite (15/8), Gainsville (3/1), Western Shores (4/1), Walkingmayotomilan (17/2), Rumi Rock (9/1), Barton Sky (10/1), Scotty Joe (12/1), Room For One More (18/1), Derby Rock (25/1), Three County Star (28/1), Hey Sir (33/1), Go To The Moon (50/1), Boomerang Breeze (80/1), Kilmond Knight (80/1), Secret Moon (150/1), Likeyouhaveplenty (300/1)

KEEP EM QUITE achieved fair form when fifth in a Wexford handicap last time and might prove the answer to this maiden. Gordon Elliott's Western Shores could pose a threat if a first-time tongue tie helps her to recapture the level of her first 2 starts. Gainsville, another with a leading yard, showed a bit of promise last time and also makes the shortlist.
