Ballinrobe 17:05 Odds Comparison

Not long with current yard and showed improved form when second of 14 in valuable series final at Punchestown (19f, good to soft) last month. Back up in trip and unlikely to remain a maiden for much longer.

Looked exciting prospect when winning a pair of bumpers in 2023/24, including a Grade 2 at Leopardstown. Absent over 2 years subsequently and given a considerate return at Fairyhouse 7 weeks ago. Fascinating contender sent hurdling upped markedly in trip.

Ran to a fair level in bumpers and seemed to excel himself up in grade when third of 10 in minor event at Punchestown (19f, good to soft) last month, running on late having been left with plenty to do. Remains to be seen if able to back that up.

Placed on first 2 of 3 starts in points and caused an 80/1 surprise when landing 8-runner bumper at Cork (19f) on Rules debut early last month. Given a considerate introduction to hurdling back there (3m, good to soft) recently and ought to do better somewhere down the line.

€40,000 3-y-o, €205,000 4-y-o, resold £210,000 4-y-o, Order of St George gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser who became unreliable Major Destination, stayed 29f, and fair hurdler Finding Touch. Cosy winner sole start in points (Apr 26). RESERVE.

Showed more than on hurdling debut in a first-time tongue tie when third of 8 in maiden hurdle at Tramore (21f, soft) 6 months ago. No forlorn hope provided she's ready to roll.

€38,000 3-y-o, Choeur Du Nord gelding. Brother to French hurdler Kianna, and half-brother to French hurdler Koregaon Park. Dam unraced. Market check advised for powerful outfit.

Made more impact than previously when second of 9 in maiden hurdle at Sligo (2½m, good to soft) just under a fortnight ago, albeit no match for winner. Each-way claims back up in trip.

€12,000 3-y-o, €6,500 7-y-o, Doyen gelding. Half-brother to modest/unreliable hurdler We'llgowats. Dam hurdle/chase winner around 2m in France. Winning pointer, runner-up last time (Apr 5).

Iffraaj gelding who was given a considerate introduction when eighth of 14 in maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan (2m, good to soft) on debut last month. Upped markedly in trip and looks one for handicaps later on.

Kingston Hill gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including dual bumper winner Dorans Weir and unreliable/useful hurdler Dorans River. Dam (c91) 2½m-3m hurdle winner, also winning pointer).

Policy Maker gelding. Dam (c91/h93) 2¼m hurdle winner. Likely outsider on debut.

Zambezi Sun gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Loyalty Card, stayed 2½m. Pulled up sole start in points (Dec 2025).

No better than mid-field in a couple of bumpers in recent months. Big outsider switched to hurdles upped markedly in distance.

Tailed off in bumper/maiden hurdle at Sligo 9 months apart. Upped in trip.

Harzand gelding who offered little in Killarney maiden hurdle on debut earlier in the month. Upped markedly in trip.

No impact in 2 maiden hurdles. First-time hood/tongue tie on but likely to need more time. RESERVE.
