Dual hurdles scorer at Fairyhouse last season and off since pulled up (badly hampered 3 out) in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (21f, good to soft) in May. Much respected chasing debutant.
|
€28,000 7-y-o, Flemensfirth gelding. Sister to fair hurdlers Big Fish and Minelladestination, and half-sister to a bumper winner. Dam (h116) 2¾m-25f hurdle winner. Successful on last 2 of 6 starts in points, both in May. Possibilities.
Fairly useful bumper/maiden winner who proved reliable last season, signing off with a solid third of 5 in Grade 3 at Naas (2m, heavy) in March. Not out of things now going over fences.
|
€38,000 3-y-o, Mahler gelding. Half-sister to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Boro Tari and 25f hurdle winner Bob Backus. An easy winner on last of 3 starts in points in March so needs considering here.
Fairly useful hurdler. Scored at Gowran (2m) in March and in front when fell last in handicap at Fairyhouse following month. Pulled up in novice hurdle at Cork (17f, good to soft) in May. Chasing debutant.
|
Progressed well during second half of last year for Declan Queally, gaining a third hurdles success in listed company at Cork (3m) in November. Shaped as if needing the run sent chasing after 6 months off when eighth of 11 in maiden at Listowel last month. Can take a step forward.
|
Debut Wexford maiden winner. Useful form after before taking his form up a notch in first-time cheekpieces on handicap debut when second of 24 at Punchestown (3m, good to soft) in April. Noteworthy chasing debutant.
|
Fair hurdler. Off the mark at Ballinrobe (2m) in May and backed it up with a good third of 6 in novice hurdle at Roscommon (2m, good) in July. Retried over fences (well held when fell last on chasing debut at Fairyhouse) with more needed.
|
Got off the mark second time up over hurdles at Thurles and an excellent runner-up at Wexford in May (17f). Shaped with promise when third of 4 on chasing debut at Killarney (21f, good to soft) 22 days ago, fading late under an aggressive ride. Goes down in trip now and has more to offer.
|
Opened her hurdles account in a first-time hood at Limerick (2m) in February but well held in 2m handicaps at Fairyhouse and Punchestown subsequently. Made the frame in a point and could still do better now sent over fences after a break.
|
Thrived last season and she made it 5 on the bounce in Grade 1 hurdle at Fairyhouse in April. Posted a good second of 14 in another Grade 1 at Punchestown (3m, good to soft) in May. Very interesting prospect now sent over fences.
|
Fairly useful hurdler who scored at Fairyhouse (2m) in February. Got back on track on his chasing debut when second of 4 in novice at Sligo (2¼m, good) 26 days ago, though had the run of the race. Needs to reproduce it here.

Forecasts
Zanoosh (6/4), Mode Avion (9/2), Time Is A Thief (13/2), The Big Clubman (7/1), Fierce Handay (10/1), The Store Boy (12/1), Tackletommywoowoo (14/1), Saveforarainyday (14/1), Rock On Richie (14/1), Parnell Street (16/1), Maganey (20/1), Royal Soldier (33/1)
ZANOOSH enjoyed a fine time of it over hurdles last season, gaining a fifth success in Grade 1 company at Fairyhouse in the spring, and she is fancied to make a winning start in this sphere. The Big Clubman also brings plenty of potential to chasing and could emerge as the main danger, while the lightly-raced Time Is A Thief is another who could have a say after a promising Killarney third on his fencing debut.
