Irish Stallion Farms EBF Novice Hurdle

Runners: 4 runners

Surface: Turf

Weather: Light rain

Form: 2113 D

Last run: 21 days

W: 11st 7lb

5 yo Gelding

OR: 132

Form & Verdict
Similar profile to stablemate Emily Love in that he headed to Galway bang in form but seemed unsuited by the drop in trip (2m4f); still ran an honest race to be close up and he's over 2m6f here; hard to knock.

Kamikaz Du Plessis

10st 9lb

J: Danny Gilligan

T: Gordon Elliott

Dual hurdle winner is rated 128 in that sphere; hasn't been as good over fences in four starts but best effort came when fourth in a Clonmel novice last time; raced a bit awkwardly then; will need plenty more today.

Kamikaz Du Plessis

11st 6lb

J: Jack Kennedy

T: Gordon Elliott

Rated 130 over hurdles but yet to replicate that level over fences; beaten a cumulative distance of 97l in first three chases at Fairyhouse (2m5f, yielding), Galway (22.5f, yielding) and Leopardstown (2m1f, yielding); best form on good ground so needs the track to dry out.

Dual hurdle winner is rated 130 in that sphere but was soundly beaten in two novice chases last October; needs to do a lot better but doesn't have form in this sort of ground.

Form & Verdict
Often ridden by Sam Ewing; completed a four-timer when comfortably on top here last month (2m4f) and 2m on good ground looked too sharp when a close third at Galway, which was another good run; every chance.

5-9 over hurdles and earned a handicap mark of 129; wouldn't have won but was running well when coming down two out on chase debut at Killarney; much respected.

One of her five hurdle wins came here over 2m4f last year; ended her campaign with a win in a valuable mares' hurdle at Far Hills in USA and is rated 129 in that sphere; has won when fresh and is a big player if ready after the break.

Pulled clear in a Roscommon bumper (soft) and wasn't disgraced in a useful Listed bumper at Gowran (good); returns from 247 day absence but plenty to recommend on first hurdling start; rider partnered last year's winning favourite in this for Willie Mullins.
