Kinisla Charleville Cheese 3-Y-O Hurdle

3YO only | 2m | Good (Good to Yielding in places) | 11 Runners | Turf

Age: 3| Weight: 11-4| J: Paddy Hanlon⁽⁵⁾| T: J J Hanlon| D

Left hurdling debut form behind when springing a 40/1 surprise in a juvenile at Uttoxeter in July, beating Vietnorm by 3¼ lengths. The third has franked the form since but unseated at start at Newton Abbot when attempting to follow up last time and must defy a penalty.

Form: 31U

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Ricky Doyle| T: Mrs J Harrington

16/1

Ran to a borderline fair level on the first 2 of his 3 starts on the Flat at up to 12.8f but made a discouraging debut in this sphere at Killarney recently.

Form: P

Connor Of Mali³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Phillip Enright| T: L J Archdeacon

33/1

Showed first form over hurdles when 23½ lengths fourth of 11 to Sea Of Dubka in 3-y-o maiden event at Killarney last time, albeit without suggesting he'll prove up to winning one of these events.

Form: P9U4

Danny Power

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Mark Walsh| T: J Queally

5/2

Blue Bresil gelding. Dam, 2m hurdle winner (stayed 2½m), also 17f winner on Flat, half-sister to useful hurdler (stays 3m) Gaoth Chuil out of useful 2m/2½m hurdle winner Elyaadi. Is almost certainly one for the longer term given connections.

Did Tell

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Mark McDonagh| T: S O O'Brien

50/1

Third foal: dam modest 2m hurdle winner (stayed 2½m). Yard aren't known for their winning debutants.

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Danny Mullins| T: A Mullins

20/1

Half-brother to several Flat winners, including the smart middle-distance performer Armande, and out of an 11.5f listed winner, herself a half-sister to 2 winning hurdlers headed by the useful Maxim Gorky. Unfancied when last of 8 on Flat debut and market should again prove informative.

Form:

Minella Buoy^h²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Daniel King| T: J Nallen

5/4

Hasn't set the world alight on the Flat, including last time but has finished runner-up on all 3 starts in juvenile maiden hurdles, though was some way below his previous efforts at Killarney when last seen in this sphere in August. Sets the standard at his best but needs to bounce back.

Form: 222

Sonny Corleone⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Sam Ewing| T: G Elliott

4/1

Showed fair form at up to 1¼m on the Flat and could hardly be in better hands now turning his attention to hurdling. Interesting.

Form:

Julie's Moon

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: John Shinnick| T: Ms M Mullins

16/1

Sea Moon filly. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler Morricone. Dam, bumper winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 21f) Encore Champs and fair hurdle winner/fairly useful chase winner (stayed 3m) African Dance out of useful 2m hurdle winner.

Premier Princess^t²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: Philip Donovan| T: D Hogan

50/1

Very little impact in a handful of maidens on the Flat at trips ranging from 1m to 1½m.

Form:

Wipeawayyourtears^h1²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: Alan King⁽⁷⁾| T: M Butler

33/1

Modest handicapper on the Flat, who won 1½m event at Fairyhouse in June. Not so good in that sphere since, but the fact she's a half-sister to a winning hurdler in Cumberland River gives hope that she'll have a future in this sphere. Worth a market check.

Minella Buoy (6/4), Hello Garda (9/4), Sonny Corleone (6/1), Danny Power (10/1), Wipeawayyourtears (14/1), Julie's Moon (14/1), Chairmanforlife (16/1), Connor Of Mali (20/1), Premier Princess (20/1), Dunmore (25/1), Did Tell (25/1)

SONNY CORLEONE showed a fair level of ability on the Flat and is worth chancing on hurdles debut for a top National Hunt yard, with the pick of that form likely to make him hard to beat. Minella Buoy has been a bit disappointing of late but rates the main danger on earlier hurdles form, while Hello Garda is respected as the only previous winner in this sphere despite a penalty.
