Burke's Clonbur 3-Y-O Maiden Hurdle

Off time: 15:25 | Winning time: 4m 22.50s

Another Day Done²²

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: James Smith⁽⁵⁾| T: A McCann

22/1

A fair 1m winner on the Flat for Joseph Patrick O'Brien but sold for only 6,500 gns after looking less than straightforward at Down Royal on most recent outing in that sphere and didn't take to hurdling at the first attempt at Killarney just over 3 weeks ago.

Form: 7

Armillary

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Sexton⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss T L Cogan

66/1

St Mark's Basilica colt. Dam, lightly raced on Flat, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Tyrell. Market for clues.

Form:

Bell Ex Too⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Paddy Cody⁽⁷⁾| T: R P Cody

2/1

Has run to a borderline fair level in a handful of starts on the Flat (stays 12.5f). Not out of things if taking to hurdling.

Form:

Camp Verde¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Josh Younge⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Hanlon

250/1

Hasn't impressed with his jumping on his completed starts over hurdles and it's easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 0U8

Captain Con^b⁶

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

14/1

Modest maiden on Flat (stays 1½m). Blinkers retained for hurdling debut and others are more appealing.

Form:

Montevetro²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Philip Donovan| T: D Hogan

50/1

Went the wrong way from an encouraging debut on the Flat for Charlie Appleby and needs the switch to hurdling to have a positive effect.

Form:

Point Star¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Thomas O'Connor⁽⁷⁾| T: M Fahey

18/1

Looked one for the longer term when a well-held fourth of 9 in juvenile hurdle at Down Royal (17f, good, 16/1) on debut 14 days ago.

Form: 4

Step By Step^h1

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Aidan Kelly| T: A A Howard

14/1

Gleneagles gelding. Closely related to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Jeaniemacaroney and fair hurdler Out For A Stroll. Dam 7f winner who stayed 10.5f. Wears hood and the market should offer up some clues.

Form:

Wills History

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Calum Hogan⁽⁵⁾| T: B McMahon

40/1

Rich History gelding. Half-brother to fair 2½m hurdle winner Berkenshtaaap. Dam lightly raced on Flat.

Form:

Divine Believer³²

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: Mike O'Connor| T: H De Bromhead

3/1

Fair maiden on the Flat (bred to stay further than 1m but hasn't done so yet). Not an obvious one for hurdling but showed some aptitude for the job when fifth of 13 in juvenile at this course (2m) last month and that looks the best form on offer.

Form: 5

Misty Cove^p,t²²

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: Eoghan Finegan⁽⁵⁾| T: G P Cromwell

11/2

An 11f winner on the Flat (borderline fairly useful form) who failed to progress from her first go over hurdles tried in cheekpieces and tongue strap when third in 11-runner juvenile at Killarney (17f) 22 days ago. Has each-way claims nonetheless.

Form: 53

Neon Eyes^h⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: Alix Balfe⁽⁷⁾| T: G P Cromwell

10/1

Fair form best effort on the Flat (stays 9.5f) but merely passed beaten rivals at Navan on most recent outing last week. Hood retained for hurdling debut.

Form:

We're Out Of Aces

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: Ethan O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: G Elliott

11/2

Walk In The Park filly. Sister to fair 2m hurdle winner Beauty In The Park, and half-sister to 3 winners, including useful hurdler Thirtyfourstitches. Noteworthy newcomer.

Forecasts

Bell Ex Too (2/1), Divine Believer (3/1), Misty Cove (11/2), We're Out Of Aces (11/2), Chairmanforlife (8/1), Neon Eyes (10/1), Step By Step (14/1), Captain Con (14/1), Sonny Corleone (14/1), Point Star (18/1), Matada (20/1), Another Day Done (22/1), Wills History (40/1), Montevetro (50/1), Armillary (66/1), Camp Verde (250/1)

WE'RE OUT OF ACES makes plenty of appeal on paper and wouldn't need to be anything out of the ordinary to get her career off to the perfect start. Divine Believer showed some aptitude for hurdling in a similar event here last month and that's the best form on offer. Misty Cove also has some hurdling experience to call upon and may prove best of the rest.
