26th Sep 2024 Good 2m 0f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Wexford maiden hurdle (2m1f, good) winner last month; value for more than the winning margin when scoring over 1m2f on the Flat at Navan this month, short of room but powering home late; might be capable of better back over hurdles on handicap debut; 3lb wrong. |

Not a bad handicapper at around 1m1f/1m2f for Willie McCreery and fair form in three spins over hurdles, although tended to be too keen; picked up for 5,000euros in November; had a recent comeback run on the Flat. |
8/1 |

Sole win for Willie McCreery came over 1m1f at Punchestown in 2024; some decent efforts in defeat last season and picked up for 5,000euros in November; debuts for local yard in first-time tongue-tie and market could be interesting. |

Heavily-raced gelding recorded a seventh AW win recently; turf record is less persuasive (3-71), though some encouragement can be taken from last month's third of 20 at Leopardstown. |

Six-time course winner with his last win coming over 7f here in March last year off 72; modest 3-71 strike-rate on turf but excellent third of 20 over 1m at Leopardstown 11 days ago, headed in closing stages; big player in current mood under 10lb claimer. |

Seemingly aided by first-time visor when winning basement-grade AW race in February but was below that form on latest Flat start, and this is his first hurdle run since he was pulled up here (2m4f, good) on handicap debut last June; no headgear today; others have more pressing claims. |

Front-runner is 1-28 under rules (the win coming on AW in 2024) and was disappointing at Dundalk when last seen; 0-5 over hurdles, with his best effort a 14.5l fifth behind subsequent Grade 1 winner Koktail Divin at Leopardstown (2m4f, yielding); probably flattered by that placing, but it's interesting that Jack Kennedy takes the ride (2-5 riding for this trainer). |
