William Hill Challenge Series Handicap Hurdle (0-100) (Div 1)

Off time: 14:55 | Winning time: 5m 5.10s

Pebble Island^p,t²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-12| J: Dylan Kidd⁽⁷⁾| T: Jordan Kidd| OR: 99

25/1

Modest maiden on Flat. Similar standard in light hurdle career but more chance now handicapping for first time in this sphere. Has left John McConnell.

Form: 6U-449

Kazbek^b²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Danny Mullins| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 96

10/3

Remains a maiden but he left his first 2 efforts of this season well behind when ½-length second of 15 to reopposing Another Challenge at Punchestown (2½m, good to soft) 21 days ago. Another bold show likely if in similar form.

Form: P4P-P92

Kayla's Friend^t²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean Flanagan| T: James Hannon| OR: 93| D

50/1

Improved in a first-time tongue strap when making a successful handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2½m, good to soft) in June for Olly Murphy but well below that level twice since, latterly for new yard. Has something to prove all of a sudden.

Form: 3-65186

Hatfield Hammer^p²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Ross Berry⁽⁷⁾| T: P Nolan| OR: 91

12/1

Consistent handicap hurdler who ran as well as could be expected when sixth in a maiden chase last time. More chance back in a handicap but the wait for a second win may go on.

Form: 634U66

Another Challenge^p1²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Phillip Enright| T: O McKiernan| OR: 90| D

9/4

On a hat-trick after wins in a chase at Roscommon (2¾m, good to soft) and hurdle at Punchestown (2½m, good to soft), battling well to beat the reopposing Kazbek by ½ length at the latter. Raised 8 lb for that but merits plenty of respect in current mood.

Form: 982-711

My Good Pal^p,t³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Mr B M Coonan⁽⁷⁾| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 89| D

12/1

Off the mark in hurdle at Wexford last August. Plenty of creditable placed efforts in defeat since. Showed enough to think he's still in form when fifth of 12 over fences at Sligo latest.

Form: U85295

Leading Endeavour^p²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Ross Sugrue⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 82

12/1

Lightly-raced maiden who hasn't offered any obvious encouragement in 2 outings since returning from a 17-month absence.

Form: 593/5-P8

Shortt Fuse³²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Aidan Kelly| T: Ms H P Markham| OR: 82

28/1

Well held in 5 starts at long odds over hurdles, including handicap debut last month.

Form: 08P7-0

Millbrook Queen⁶⁶⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Daniel King| T: A J Martin| OR: 80

40/1

Well held in 3 maiden hurdles in 2024/25 season. Has a 22-month absence to overcome now handicapping but still worth a second look in the betting given who trains her.

Form: 000/

Jolly Potter^h³³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: Alan O'Sullivan⁽⁵⁾| T: J Fahey| OR: 77

15/2

Showed some ability remains when fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (2½m, good, 28/1) 33 days ago. Claims if he can build on that.

Form: 78/0-004

Leva Deva¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: Philip Donovan| T: D Collins| OR: 76

100/1

Has shown precious little to date, including a handicap.

Form: P0090P

Shanroe Nancy²¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Simon Torrens| T: K Thornton| OR: 75

16/1

No impact in handicaps. Off 7 months. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 9/9P8P0-

Fervida^p¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Shane O'Callaghan⁽³⁾| T: J A Berry| OR: 74

16/1

Maiden who has been beaten 25½ lengths or more in all completed starts in handicaps.

Form: 9U7400

El Arco^b,t³³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Josh Williamson⁽³⁾| T: G Elliott| OR: 72

9/1

Maiden who has failed to make an impact in 3 handicap hurdles since joining Gordon Elliott, with blinkers making no difference last time. Too soon to write off for current yard but would need to see support to consider.

Form: 795-080

La Rocca Lass^t⁸⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Conor Stone-Walsh| T: Ian Donoghue| OR: 72

8/1

No form over hurdles for Dermot Day, including in handicaps, but was placed in a bumper earlier in her career and worth a second look in the betting starting out for Ian Donoghue.

Form: 90000-0

Forecasts

Another Challenge (9/4), Kazbek (10/3), Colesberg (11/2), Jolly Potter (15/2), La Rocca Lass (8/1), El Arco (9/1), My Good Pal (12/1), Leading Endeavour (12/1), Hatfield Hammer (12/1), Shanroe Nancy (16/1), Fervida (16/1), Pebble Island (25/1), Santa Paula (25/1), Shortt Fuse (28/1), George's Angel (33/1), Millbrook Queen (40/1), Kayla's Friend (50/1), Undertheinfluence (50/1), Leva Deva (100/1)

KAZBEK is weighted to turn around last month's Punchestown form with Another Challenge and may prove the answer for an in-form stable. Oliver McKiernan's charge may give him most to do ahead of the unexposed Colesberg. Jolly Potter is next on the list.
