80/1

Walk In The Park gelding. Dam, bumper/2m-3m hurdle winner, half-sister to very smart hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 3m) Sam Spinner. Doesn't have the look of a probable first-time-out winner on paper.

Form:

Autumn Twist⁴⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: D King| T: D Hogan

33/1

Fairly useful maiden on the Flat for Andre Fabre in France. Second of 8 in minor event at Chantilly (9f, good, 64/10) when last seen 14 months ago. Gelded ahead of this hurdles/stable debut and and he's one to note in the betting.

Form:

Babich^t¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: K E Buckley| T: G P Cromwell

150/1

Fairly useful maiden on the Flat. Thrice-raced maiden in this sphere. 28/1, ninth of 14 in juvenile hurdle at Fairyhouse (16.5f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Others preferred.

Form: 4U9

Hudson¹⁷⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: D J O'Keeffe| T: Miss Ellmarie Holden| BF

6/1

Fair maiden on the Flat, making GB/IRE jumps debut. Sixth of 10 in maiden (21/10) at Le Touquet (13.4f, soft). First run for yard after leaving Christophe Ferland and the market should point the way.

Form:

King Of The Bronx¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: S W Flanagan| T: G P Cromwell

150/1

Fair Flat winner. Thrice-raced maiden over hurdles. 250/1, twelfth of 20 in juvenile hurdle at Cork (15.7f, soft) 19 days ago. Big step forward needed.

Form: U00

Last Kingdom¹⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: M P Walsh| T: W P Mullins

11/4

Won 7-runner bumper on sole start for previous connections at Le Lion-d'Angers (11.9f, good to soft, 33/10) 145 days ago. Since joined top yard ahead of this hurdles debut and he could be a very nice prospect.

Form: 1

Raydamann⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: D J Gilligan| T: G Elliott

11/1

Hooded for 1st time, sixth of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (10.7f, 10/3) 63 days ago. First run for yard after leaving John Patrick Murtagh. Wendrock is clealry the stable No 1.

Form:

Rockys Favourite⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: S F O'Keeffe| T: Paul Mulligan

250/1

200/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, tenth of 12 in maiden on the Flat at Dundalk (12f) 9 days ago. Best watched on hurdles debut.

Form:

Wendrock⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Ewing| T: G Elliott

3/1

Promising type. First run since leaving Lucinda Russell when third of 11 in juvenile hurdle (9/2) at Navan (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 40 days ago, not knocked about. Should progress with that run under his belt and he's a big player.

Form: 3

Bella Colombia⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: M J M O'Sullivan| T: S K Ryder

125/1

Fair Flat winner. 16/1, last of 7 in handicap on the level at Dundalk (8f) 51 days ago. First run for yard after leaving W. McCreery and probably best watched on hurdles debut.

Form:

Galileo Dame⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: J J Slevin| T: J P O'Brien| C

2/1

Useful Flat winner. 5 lengths second of 17 to Hamish in listed race (6/1) at the Curragh (12f, good to soft) 54 days ago. Potentially exciting recruit to this sphere and she will be a serious contender if jumping fluently (bound to have been well-schooled by her top yard).

Form:

Miss Gitana¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: J S McGarvey| T: G Elliott

150/1

Fair Flat winner. Thrice-raced maiden over hurdles. Eleventh of 20 in juvenile hurdle (100/1) at Cork (15.7f, soft) 19 days ago. Yard saddles a stronger candidate in Wendrock.

Form: 7F0

Money Dancer⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: D Meyler| T: N Meade

20/1

Fairly useful Flat winner, making GB/IRE jumps debut. May well make her mark in this sphere but there will be far easier opportunities than this.

Form:

Pepper Noir¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: B W Harvey| T: G P Cromwell

22/1

Fairly useful Flat winner. Won 12-runner handicap at Dundalk (12f, 7/4) 14 days ago, cosily. Likely to win races over hurdles (provided of course that she takes to this game), but this is a tough starting point.

Form:

Promo Queen^t⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: R A Doyle| T: C Timmons

200/1

Modest Flat winner. Twice-raced maiden over hurdles. Eighth of 11 in juvenile hurdle (150/1) at Navan (16f, good to soft) 40 days ago. Readily passed over.

Form: 88

Stiltellinemnuttin³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: M M McDonagh| T: M Mulvany

300/1

Once-raced maiden. Slipped up in juvenile hurdle (100/1) at Punchestown (16.7f, soft) on NH debut 34 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Galileo Dame (2/1), Last Kingdom (11/4), Wendrock (3/1), Hudson (6/1), Raydamann (11/1), Money Dancer (20/1), Pepper Noir (22/1), Autumn Twist (33/1), Aswellasabentley (80/1), Run Away Merida (100/1), Bella Colombia (125/1), Babich (150/1), Miss Gitana (150/1), King Of The Bronx (150/1), Promo Queen (200/1), Rockys Favourite (250/1), Stiltellinemnuttin (300/1)

GALILEO DAME is taken to follow in the footsteps of stablemate Intellotto, who made a winning hurdles debut in this 12 months ago. The Galileo Gold filly ended her Flat campaign by chasing home smart performers in 1½m listed events at Naas and the Curragh during the autumn and, if she takes to this game, she could be a real force in the juvenile hurdle division. Wendrock shaped very well indeed on his debut in this sphere at Navan and is feared most ahead of French bumper winner Last Kingdom.
