Form & Verdict
Won a 2m3f Limerick maiden hurdle and unseated at the first in a Punchestown handicap next time; didn't jump that well and idled badly when just denied in a 3m Wexford novice last time; down massively in trip; highest-rated here but far from bomb-proof.

Dani Donadoni

11st 5lb

J: Paul Townend

T: W P Mullins

Bumper winner over 2m3f; off the mark over hurdles over the same course and trip in March at the fourth attempt, winning by a handsome margin at short odds; unseated at the first on handicap debut at the Punchestown festival; hard to be sure if he is worthy of an official rating of 130 that gives him an excellent chance here in theory.

J: Anna McGuinness

T: W P Mullins

Bumper winner; off the mark at the fourth attempt over hurdles in a Limerick maiden (2m3f, soft) in March, winning by 8.5l; that form has taken some knocks since and opening mark doesn't look overly generous; probably best watched in first handicap.

Form & Verdict
Showed improved form to win a Ballinrobe maiden hurdle last time with the minimum of fuss; needs to find more again but is going the right way and has to be considered.

In the frame all three starts in maiden hurdles on decent ground and ran well in a Leopardstown handicap on yielding in December; beaten 2.25l in a Kilbeggan maiden (16.5f, gd-yld) on latest on return from 99-day break; yard red-hot and likely to be thereabouts again with conditions to suit.

Made promising debut at Tramore last May; has failed to improve but has shown a fair standard of form; not disgraced in handicap company when seventh of 18 in a Leopardstown contest in December; beaten when falling at the last in a rated chase at Fairyhouse in January.

Beaten 15l at Ballinrobe last August on handicap debut (2m1f, good, 100-1); well beaten at Down Royal on seasonal return (2m2f, good); entitled to come on from that but others preferred.

Just a hint of promise in five bumpers; however, it wasn't a bad hurdling debut at Listowel but this demands a lot more.

Non-runners

Endless Talking

Verdict

Dani Donadoni might not have stayed 3m when nabbed on the line at Wexford last time but there are enough questions to oppose him. LIZZIE TWIGG looks a viable alternative. She didn’t beat a great bunch at Punchestown last time but there should be more to come and her promising rider takes off 5lb. The in-form Endless Talking shouldn’t be far away. [Tyrone Molloy]
