QuinnBet 3-Y-O Maiden Hurdle

A fair 1m winner on the Flat for Joseph Patrick O'Brien. Looks to being brought along with handicaps in mind over hurdles. New headgear tried.

Half-brother to several Flat winners, including the smart middle-distance performer Armande. Down the field in Flat maiden and 2 juvenile hurdles in recent weeks.

Brother to fair hurdler Sprinkles (19f winner), and half-brother to fairly useful 17f hurdle winner Goodie Two Shoes (by Fastnet Rock). Showed fair form sole outing beyond 9f on the Flat and should be better suited by this sort of test, though the market may prove the best guide on hurdling debut.

Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Game Point (winner around 2m, by Blue Point). Fairly useful 7f winner on Flat as a 2-y-o. Some encouragement when 13¼ lengths fourth of 10 to Atomic City in juvenile hurdle at Cork on debut. Open to improvement and one to consider.

Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Black Hawk Eagle (winner at around 2m, by Awtaad). Mid-division at best in a trio of maidens on the Flat.

Dam half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 19f) Skytastic. Useful maiden on the Flat who looks sure to make in impact in this sphere for top connections.

Dam was a fairly useful stayer on the Flat and a half-sister to winning hurdler up to 2¼m Augustive (by Machiavellian). Showed nothing in a quartet of runs on the Flat and on hurdling debut.

Some encouragement when 18 lengths eighth of 13 to Bell Ex Too in juvenile hurdle at Ballinrobe on debut.

Stepped up on previous Flat efforts when winning 1m maiden at Bellewstown last time. Makes hurdling debut.

From a good jumping family but little impact in 2 juvenile maiden hurdles and Flat maiden and presumably has one eye already on handicaps.
