William Hill Challenge Series Handicap Hurdle (0-100) (Div 2)

3YO plus | 2m 4f | Good to Yielding | 17 Runners | Turf

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Kevin Healy⁽⁷⁾| T: M Hassett| OR: 100

Thirteen runs since last win in 2025 but ran creditably out of handicap company for the first time in a long while when second of 7 in minor event at Wexford (2½m, heavy) 9 days ago. Likely to be in the shake-up if reproducing that.

Form: 706642

King Of The Greys²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: Sam Ewing| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 99

11/2

Gambled on and showed first form in handicaps when third of 17 at Punchestown (2½m, good to soft) 21 days ago. Nudged up 1 lb but worthy of consideration.

Form: 8-8PPP3

Goin'^h,t¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Daniel King| T: A J Martin| OR: 97

4/1

Middle-distance winner on Flat (fair form for current yard). Ran creditably in a race that didn't pan out ideally for him when sixth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (21f, soft) 11 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Capable of going well if this sets up more favourably.

Form: 0-55336

Wolfhill⁸⁸⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Brian Hayes| T: D H Kelly| OR: 97

16/1

Didn't need to improve to get off the mark in 12-runner maiden hurdle at Tramore (21.8f, good to soft) on final outing for Michael J. Bowe in June 2024. Hasn't made the track subsequently but does reappear with his new yard going reasonably well, so worth a market check.

Fox Walk⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Simon Torrens| T: N C Kelly| OR: 96

16/1

€38,000 point winner and ran to a borderline fair level when third of 7 in 21f Sligo maiden hurdle on Rules debut. Has failed to repeat that effort on both starts since, though was ridden with an eye to the future last time and may do better now stepping back up in trip on handicap bow.

Form: P3-1350

Dusky Night²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Shane O'Callaghan⁽³⁾| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 89

10/1

Placed in points and improved on his previous efforts over hurdles when second of 8 in 2m maiden at Tramore (good to soft) 26 days ago, albeit no match for winner. Back up in trip for handicap debut and should have more to offer.

Form: 3P3-682

Le Roi Arthur^b1,t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Kieren Buckley| T: E Buckley| OR: 89

16/1

Showed promise on hurdling debut but disappointing since, faring no better in a first-time tongue strap at Punchestown (2½m, good to soft) 21 days ago. Blinkers now tried.

Form: 39-F000

To The Wire⁵³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Ross Sugrue⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 88

10/1

Made a fairly encouraging start to life in handicaps in the spring of 2025 but has been off since and his fitness has to be taken on trust.

Form: 10004/4-

Tudorista¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Cian Quirke| T: Edward F Power| OR: 87

3/1

Maiden who has been shaping well recently, paying for trying to repel the progressive winner when third of 18 in 21f handicap at Limerick (good to soft, 9/1) 17 days ago. Must enter calculations.

Form: 4P0523

Synchronize²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: John Shinnick| T: J Morrison| OR: 86

20/1

Little impact in handicap hurdles this season and others preferred despite tumbling mark.

Form: 900-008

Angelsworknovrtime^t²¹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-13| J: Conor Smithers⁽⁷⁾| T: J Fahey| OR: 85

20/1

Remains with just the sole win to her name from 33 runs but shaped as if the outing was needed after 12 months off when twelfth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (2½m) 21 days ago and has claims from a 2 lb lower mark on the pick of her form.

Form: 26450-0

Sam's Favourite²⁰¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Dylan O'Connor⁽⁷⁾| T: A D Leahy| OR: 85

50/1

Achieved little in form terms when distant fifth in Wexford maiden (2½m) in April and was pulled up at Limerick 6 days later. Has left Patrick T. Foley ahead of handicap debut/reappearance.

Form: R0C5P-

Thepoetslodge^p1⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Conor Stone-Walsh| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 86

25/1

No promise in maiden hurdles and needs a big step forward now sent handicapping over a longer trip in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: P00-0

Ballinaboola Jet³⁰⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-9| J: Danny Mullins| T: R Donohoe| OR: 81

20/1

Opened his account at Clonmel (2½m) in December. Showed an aptitude for chasing at Naas 13 days later but ran no sort of race back over hurdles at Limerick on final outing.

Form: 730140-

Miss Bella Vista³⁰⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Patrick M O'Brien⁽⁵⁾| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 72

25/1

Has yet to offer any encouragement over hurdles, including in handicaps the last twice. Off 10 months.

Form: 70900-

King Of Westeros^t²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Reserve 2| T: G Elliott| OR: 94

16/1

Ran best race on figures when seventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (2¾m, good to soft) 25 days ago, though looked anything but straightforward having hung badly left 2 out. RESERVE.

Form: F74P-07

The Chancie Grey²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Reserve 3| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 85

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden who offered little upped in trip on handicap debut at Downpatrick (2¾m, good to soft) 25 days ago. Has work to do. RESERVE.

Goin' (4/1), King Of The Greys (5/1), Diamond Tipp (6/1), Wolfhill (7/1), Dusky Night (7/1), Thepoetslodge (8/1), Tudorista (8/1), King Of Westeros (11/1), To The Wire (12/1), Fox Walk (12/1), I Can Find Em (16/1), Ballinaboola Jet (16/1), Shanroe Nelson (20/1), Angelsworknovrtime (25/1), Synchronize (33/1), The Chancie Grey (33/1), Le Roi Arthur (33/1), Sam's Favourite (33/1), Miss Bella Vista (33/1)

Veteran ANGELSWORKNOVRTIME has a decidedly ordinary strike rate but she's dropped to a very handy mark on the pick of her form and looks worth chancing with a recent run under her belt. Goin' can make his presence felt, especially if this pans out more favourably than on his most recent outing at Sligo, with Tudorista completing the shortlist.
