22/1
Modest 71-rated Flat handicapper well down the field in three maiden hurdles to date. Looks vulnerable in this company.

3/1
Distance winner of a Bellewstown bumper last month on good to firm ground. Will need to improve over hurdles here.

Age: 4|  Weight: 11-7| J: M P Walsh| T: J P O'Brien
3/1
Solid performer on the Flat for Aiden O'Brien winning his maiden over 12-months ago. Gelded now on comeback and worth a market check on debut for new connections.
4
Horse silk
66/1
Maiden, faller on hurdles bow at Wexford in May, beaten at the time before finishing sixth of 19 beaten over 13L in a Cork maiden last month. Plenty to find on recent offerings.
5
Horse silk
33/1
Son of Yeats out of a Phardante mare, he cost €32,000 last year. No extra and appeared one pace when sixth of 14 beaten over 17L on debut in a 2m4f Wexford maiden hurdle when last seen in October. Watching brief on return.
6
Horse silk
100/1
Last of 13 beaten 44L on return following two years off the track in a Gowran Park 1m1½f contest last month. Five-race maiden hurdler and best avoided here.
7
Horse silk
Mighty Concorde14
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-4| J: R M Power| T: E McNamara| OR:  110
4/1
Shaped with a little promise in a couple of starts this term finishing fourth of 14 beaten 9L in a Kilbeggan maiden hurdle over 2m earlier this month on stable debut. Entitled to make the shortlist here.
8
Horse silk
100/1
Mustameet gelding out of a New Frontier mare. Closely related to Cliff House and dual winner for Dan Skelton, Must Have A Flutter. Market likely to reveal expectations.
9
Horse silk
Rare Conor107
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-4| J: J M Moore| T: T Gibney
6/1
Has improved for the switch to hurdles and ran well when trying to make all at Navan over 2m before finishing a promising second of 20 behind Prince D'Aubrelle in a 2m Tipperary maiden hurdle when last seen in May. Market likey to be best guide.
10
Horse silk
Sticky Situationt19
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-4| J: C A Landers(5)| T: P Neville| OR:  102
20/1
Largely well held, despite the finishing positions, in a number of maiden hurdle defeats since May. Could go well but a number of below par runs to blow away.
11
Horse silk
100/1
Poor in a number of point-to-point starts and well beaten at Limerick before a 46L defeat in a Killarney maiden when last seen in May. Out of form and hard to fancy.
12
Horse silk
Mr Natural353
Age: 4|  Weight: 11-2| J: P Townend| T: W P Mullins
10/1
Finished down the field in three maiden starts on the Flat for trainer-Michael O'Callaghan and last seen in September last year. Sure to be primed for hurdling debut here for leading yard.
One of five runners for leading owner and one of two newcomers making their debuts here. By Makfi out of a Singspiel mare. One to note with retained jockey up.
14
Horse silk
40/1
Stowaway gelding out of an Old Vic mare. Half-brother to Illwalktheline and one of five in the race for leading owner. Market check on racecourse debut.
15
Horse silk
33/1
Flemensfirth gelding dam was a fair staying hurdles winner, half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 3m4f) Across The Bay. One of five in the race for leading owner and will be looking to tidying his hurdling here following sketchy debut.

50/1
€78,000 purchase as a foal being a sister to top class bumper/hurdle winner Darlan. Another runner of five for leading national hunt owner and best watched on stable debut.
17
Horse silk
100/1
Fell on point-to-point debut in June before finishing down the field in a couple of subsequent starts in maiden hurdles at Limerick last month. Hard to see her making any significant impact.
18

Age: 6|  Weight: 10-11| J: P T Enright| T: D E Fitzgerald
100/1
Once rated handy 67 Flat handicapper for trainer Jim Bolger but manged to remain an 11-race maiden. Last seen on the track over 13-months ago and best watched on hurdle bow.

13:25 Killarney - 25 August 2018 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

Although modest enough on the Flat for trainer Michael O'Callahan it can be expected the MR NATURAL will be primed for his hurdling introduction on stable debut for the Willie Mullins yard. The Vale Of York gelding can see off the attentions of a parade of runners from J P McManus who has five in the race, including the Joseph O'Brien trained Air Supremacy and the more interesting newcomer Out Of The Blue, the mount of Barry Geraghty.
  1. Mr Natural
  2. Air Supremacy
  3. Out Of The Blue
