Rand Farm Park Stocking Filler Thriller Selling Handicap Hurdle

Runners: 4 runners

Type: Hurdle Turf

Surface: Turf

Weather: Cloudy

Form: U-05P6 D

Last run: 32 days

W: 12st 0lb

9 yo Gelding

OR: 125

Form & Verdict
Last win came in a Listed hurdle at Navan (3m1f, heavy) for Willie Mullins a year ago; lost his way contesting the Irish and Scottish Nationals in the spring and three starts over hurdles/fences for this yard have been blowouts, but being a handy sort the drop in trip may be no bad thing and he will never have a better chance to get his head back in front.

Listed hurdle winner last December for Willie Mullins; departed that yard for £11,000 and no form as yet for current stable (2m7f hurdle/3m5f chase); no real significance in another headgear switch.

Form & Verdict
11 wins on Flat turf at up to 1m5f in Ireland but well held in four starts since joining this yard in August; very poor in six previous attempts over hurdles and now 10lb out of the weights, but given his ability on the level he is still the one most likely to capitalise if his stablemate underperforms again.

J: Nicola Burns

T: Peter Fahey

Was gaining a 12th win (five in claimers) on the Flat when taking Ballinrobe handicap last month in some style under today's rider; two days later folded quite tamely once headed over shorter trip at Naas, that race may have come too soon; veteran respected.

11 time winner on the Flat; some good runs for Rebecca Menzies, highlighted by a selling handicap hurdle win last December and two placed efforts over 1m4f at Catterick in April; his stable debut 12 days ago at Limerick was okay when seventh of 12 (1m3f, good); declared to run in 7.50 Ballinrobe on Monday.

Form & Verdict
Three wins on Tapeta, the latest at Wolverhampton for Alex French a year ago; on a downward spiral and no better back over hurdles here (2m3f, good) last time; off three months and hard to make a case for from 19lb wrong, even in a race like this.

Form & Verdict
Five wins at around 1m on the Flat, but losing run up to 39 and his four efforts over hurdles have been poor; has an BHA mark of 60 (so is 39lb wrong) and will need the others to misfire.
