Millbrook Food Group 100 Years Celebration Handicap Hurdle (0-100) (Div 1)

Off time: 14:55 | Winning time: 4m 34.10s

Pure Logic^p,t²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Paddy Hanlon⁽⁵⁾| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 98

12/1

Didn't need to improve to open her account in first-time tongue strap in 5-runner handicap hurdle at Killarney (2½m) last time, just holding on. A 4lb-rise probably prevents a follow up here.

Form: 536P31

Champagne Diamond^t²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Phillip Enright| T: T J O'Mara| OR: 94

50/1

Maiden pointer. Tongue strap on and showed a bit more when well-held sixth of 16 on qualifying run at Killarney (2m, good to soft). Could do better back up in trip for handicap bow.

Form: 555/0-86

Tuckmill^p²⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: Mr R M McParland⁽⁷⁾| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 94

12/1

Going through the motions at present. Unable to sustain his effort when beaten 14 lengths in change of headgear at Bellewstown (17f, good), a mixed round of jumping hardly helping his cause.

Form: 0P70-P7

Hatfield Hammer^b²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Ross Berry⁽⁷⁾| T: P Nolan| OR: 92

22/1

Consistent for one at this level. Only 2 lb higher than when successful at Wexford in May and didn't get the chance to show what he could do in first-time blinkers at Bellewstown (2½m) last time (rider exited in bizarre circumstances at the first).

Form: P9-634U

Scary Askari¹²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr D McGill⁽⁷⁾| T: N C Kelly| OR: 91| BF

9/4

Low-mileage 6-y-o. Much tighter in the betting when leaving previous efforts behind at Downpatrick (2¾m) on final start for Sean McParlan, finishing 16 lengths third. Interesting if capable new yard has him ready to roll following 4 months off.

Form: 20860-3

Maxicourt²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Conor Smithers⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Duffy| OR: 90| BF

13/2

Encouraging that he arrives on the back of consecutive good efforts (typically inconsistent). Travelled smoothly to finish as close as he has when 1-length third behind Pure Logic at Killarney (2½m). Weighted to reverse that form and be firmly in the mix, provided he's in the same mood here.

Form: 9P3753

Sekakarma²²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: Donagh Meyler| T: W M Roper| OR: 87

12/1

Lightly raced for his age. Had been knocking on the door and didn't need to improve to get off the mark at Wexford (2½m), keeping on gamely having been well positioned. A double may just prove beyond him off 4 lb higher.

Form: 594231

Noble Rocco²²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Sam Ewing| T: G Elliott| OR: 87

50/1

Longish odds all 3 maiden starts, finishing 24 lengths third of 12 at Wexford (17f, good, 40/1) latest. Remains with the potential to do better now switched to a handicap/longer trip by top yard.

Form: 7973

Tomas O Maille⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: Philip Donovan| T: M Flannery| OR: 85

16/1

Looked to be coming back into form when 3 lengths third at Wexford in August. Hold-up tactics counted against him when disappointing over fences subsequently. Could be worth another chance back hurdling off his much-reduced mark.

Form: P9P830

Demanding Gerry^t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Michael Kenneally⁽⁵⁾| T: J Fahey| OR: 84

6/1

Maiden has finished runner-up 3 times in handicap and wasted no time in getting back to form when 3½-length fourth at Kilbeggan (19f), Solid chance at the weights with good-value claimer back aboard.

Form: 20-24P4

Cinnabar Moth³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: Sean Flanagan| T: Liz Doyle| OR: 80

28/1

Maiden who's run creditably in 3 of her 4 handicap starts this summer, latterly 8¾ lengths fourth of 9 at Tramore. A 1 lb reprieve may not be enough, though.

Form: 055694

Leo Messy^t⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Harry Sexton⁽⁷⁾| T: T Gibney| OR: 80

11/2

Stepped up on his handicap debut/reappearance when 7¾-length third in big-field Cork handicap (17f) last time. Still early days and could be more competitive back over a more suitable trip.

Form: 000-83

Monty's Way^p,t¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-3| J: Daniel King| T: G Stanley| OR: 75

18/1

Caused a 40/1 surprise at Ballinrobe in spring 2024. Ran his best race since when beaten 17 lengths at Galway (2¾m, 66/1, soft). Daniel King rides again and not taken lightly off much-reduced mark.

Form: P0-0087

At The Wings^t²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: Shane O'Callaghan⁽³⁾| T: N Lee| OR: 73

7/1

Showed some ability remained on third run back from an absence at Wexford (17f) last time, finishing 7¼ lengths fifth of 12. On handy mark if building on that, with step back up in trip likely to benefit.

Form: 000-775

Subset^p⁸

Age: 12| Weight: 10-0| J: Mike O'Connor| T: P Maher| OR: 72

150/1

Fair cross-country chaser who looked very rusty on return in a handicap chase at Ballinrobe (23f, good) 8 days ago. Entitled to still need this rare hurdle start.

Form: P59F/2-P

Forecasts

Scary Askari (9/4), Annie Button (5/1), Leo Messy (11/2), Demanding Gerry (6/1), Maxicourt (13/2), At The Wings (7/1), Pure Logic (12/1), Tuckmill (12/1), Sekakarma (12/1), Classy Cc (12/1), Tomas O Maille (16/1), Monty's Way (18/1), Hatfield Hammer (22/1), Mr Erwitt (25/1), Cinnabar Moth (28/1), Noble Rocco (50/1), Champagne Diamond (50/1), Glendaars Secret (50/1), Subset (150/1)

In a wide-open handicap, it could be worth chancing TOMAS O MAILLE from his much-reduced mark. Maxicourt, Classy CC, Hatfield Hammer and Scary Askari also appeal, with Annie Button interesting if lining up.
