6/4

Comment: Flat maiden ran very well when a 2.5l third of 14 behind Beyond Your Dreams on hurdles debut at Fairyhouse (16.5f, yielding) in December; not as good when jumping lacked fluency on very testing ground latest and is now tongue tied; claims if reproducing the form of his Fairyhouse effort.

Jockey: D King Trainer: Denis Gerard Hogan Age/Wt: 4/10-13 F: 93732- OR: 113

11/4

Comment: Second runner for yard; rated 113 after five runs over timber; placed on last two starts at Cork (16.5f, good) and best effort yet when a 4.25l second of 6 at Clonmel (2m1f, gd-yld) after saddle slipped; sets the standard.

Comment: French Flat recruit; ran a blinder when a 2l second of 18 at 33-1 on his stable and hurdling debut in a Down Royal maiden hurdle (17.5f, good) six days ago; should have learned and leading claims once this run doesn't come too soon.

County Final

Jockey: Reserve 1 Trainer: E McNamara Age/Wt: 5/11-4

Comment: First reserve; Court Cave gelding cost 70,000Euros as a 3yo; fifth foal; half-brother to winners Champ Kiely (bumper and smart 2m-3m1f hurdle/chase) and Moscowsowhat (2m5f chase); dam pulled up in Irish points, half-sister to useful 3m-3m2f hurdle/chase winner Marufo; tongue tied for debut; worth a market check if getting a run.

Bubba Yeats

Jockey: Reserve 2 Trainer: S Curling Age/Wt: 8/11-4

Comment: Second reserve; Yeats gelding cost 16,000Euros as a foal; fourth foal; dam French 1m4f winner (RPR 101/also placed Ire 2m and 2m2f hurdles), out of half-sister to Listed winners Nibbs Point (1m4f) and Foundation Spirit (12.5f); nicely bred and respected source; worth a market check on belated debut.

Comment: Has always been smart on the Flat and over hurdles when at his best; his jumping was by no means foot-perfect on last month's chase debut at Down Royal (2m4f, good; cheekpieces added) but class got him home that day; unraced over this far but he was a strong stayer on the level and this will hardly turn into a thorough test of stamina; standout claims with his confidence buoyed.

Comment: It was a low-grade 1m4f handicap she won at Limerick 16 days ago and that was hard work; had made a good start to hurdling career until let down by her jumping when pulled up in a Downpatrick handicap; not bred for chasing but she's a 4yo filly receiving all the allowances.

Comment: Two-time winning hurdler is relatively inexperienced over fences, winning one of four chase starts; good effort at Perth on latest in a listed mares' chase behind Fun Fun Fun; ground versatile but this is a tough race in which to make her handicap chase debut.

Comment: Not a bad effort on debut at Leopardstown (2m, yielding) in March but didn't back it up when beaten 76l at 40-1 at Kilbeggan (15.5f, gd-yld) seventeen days ago; can only be watched after that.

Comment: Sent off at 80-1 for her debut at Ballinrobe (2m1f, good) and beaten 29l; held by both Le Diablo and Grey Jude on that form; may need more time.
