Balko gelding. Dam, ran once over hurdles in France, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/very smart chaser (stayed 2¾m) Mail de Bievre.
|
Hooded but raced freely when well held in a bumper at Naas (16f, soft, 18/1) on debut 50 days ago. Makes hurdle bow.
|
Fairly useful winner at 12f on Flat who showed an aptitude for hurdling when fourth of 16 in a juvenile at Naas (15.5f, soft) on NH debut 34 days ago. Should progress.
|
Fair Flat winner who looked one for later on over hurdles when fifth of 13 in a juvenile at Gowran (16f, heavy) on NH debut 14 days ago.
|
Fair handicapper on Flat, stays 1½m, successful at Galway final start in 2023. Makes hurdles debut and can't be ruled out if taking to this new discipline.
|
Fascinating Rock gelding. Half-brother to 9f winner Theophilos. Dam unraced.
|
Fairly useful Flat winner at up to 1m who shaped like a non-stayer when twelfth of 16 in juvenile hurdle at Naas (15.5f, soft) on NH debut 34 days ago.
|
Fairly useful handicapper on Flat for Charlie Fellowes, stays 1¼m, in frame final 5 starts in 2023. Interesting hurdling debutant.
|
Fairly useful form on Flat in France, maiden winner last time, stays 13f:. Left J. Reynier €23,000 in November. Should have a future over hurdles.
|
Modest Flat winner who was well held on hurdling debut at Gowran (16f, heavy) 14 days ago.
|
Getaway gelding. Brother to 2 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Banks Boy, stays 2½m, and half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Floral Fantasy. Makes plenty of appeal on paper.
|
Offered little in juvenile hurdle (125/1) at Gowran (16f, heavy) on NH debut 14 days ago.
|
Fair maiden on Flat in France, stays 9.5f, below form last time. Left N. Clement for €13,000 in November.

Forecasts
Charming Star (5/6), Shahbaz (5/2), Welcome Back (4/1), St Faz (7/1), Balko D'ange (14/1), Grann's Boy (22/1), Club Manager (33/1), Milteye (40/1), Sir Callisto (40/1), Someone's Wish (80/1), I Dont Lie (80/1), Wing Back (100/1), Drum Roll (125/1), Ilbdare (200/1), Balovale (200/1)
CHARMING STAR, a lightly-raced winner on the Flat, showed an aptitude for hurdling when fourth at Naas in January and has to be considered the one to beat with improvement on the cards. Welcome Back and Shahbaz are a pair of interesting hurdling newcomers who need monitoring closely in the betting.
