Settings
Selected odds by:
€11,000 3-y-o third foal: Dam, ran once over hurdles, sister to fairly useful hurdler Carrigmoorna Pine, out of unraced half-sister to high-class chaser Function Dream. Best watched on debut.
|
Shaped with promise in bumpers and encouragement on hurdling bow when third at Hereford in March following a breathing operation after 12 months off. Should progress on first start for new yard.
|
Showed no sign of ability in bumpers and a similar story in both starts over hurdles this term.
|
Fair form when in frame in bumpers last season. Weakened to finish well held on Carlisle return but retains potential now hurdling.
|
Cost only €1,400 as 3-y-o but it looks like money well spent after showing promise all 3 starts in bumpers. Shaped as if needing the run on hurdling bow at Carlisle last month and he should improve.
|
€21,000 3-y-o, Leading Light gelding who made little impact when tenth of 12 in bumper at this C&D (good to soft) on NH debut 29 days ago. Makes hurdles debut with cheekpieces applied.
|
Fair form in bumpers and showed much more than on hurdling debut 10 months on when runner-up at this C&D (good to soft) 43 days ago, edged out late. Will take the beating with improvement expected.
|
Arctic Cosmos mare who was a runner-up in Irish points and showed ability when third of 12 in novice hurdle at Newcastle (20.3f, good to soft) on NH debut 23 days ago. More to come.

Forecasts
Trooper Turnbull (8/11), Honda Fifty (7/2), Esme Shelby (9/2), Donladd (8/1), Grumpy Mcgrumpface (18/1), Any Job Will Do (66/1), The Electrician (150/1), Fernhill Lad (200/1)
This looks to revolve around TROOPER TURNBULL, who stepped up from his hurdling debut 10 months on when narrowly going down by a short head over C&D in October. With the promise of better to come, he should take all the beating. Esme Shelby and Honda Fifty should both improve on their initial efforts over timber and can chase the selection home in that order.
- TROOPER TURNBULL (IRE)
- ESME SHELBY (IRE)
