Bubba Yeats³⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Phillip Enright| T: S Curling

100/1

Yeats gelding. 25/1, lost touch 2 out when eleventh of 15 in maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe (22.6f, good, 25/1) on NH debut 39 days ago. Probably one for further down the line on that evidence.

Form: 0

Dream Diamond³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Danny Gilligan| T: M Kennedy| OR: 116

7/2

Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules and placed all 4 starts in this sphere, latterly when third of 13 in maiden at Listowel (16.5f) 5 weeks ago. Definite possibilities now tackling this longer trip.

Form: 3267-33

Following Orders⁷¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Tiernan Power Roche⁽⁵⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 108| BF

16/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 6/4, sixth of 14 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (15.5f, good) 71 days ago. Up in trip. Could get back on track.

Jimmybrien^p³²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Ms H Phillips⁽⁷⁾| T: M J Phillips

150/1

Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, tenth of 15 in hunter chase at Listowel (23.7f, good to soft, 100/1) 32 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Significantly down in trip.

Form: 6473P-0

Kamikaz Du Plessis³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott

11/8

Placed in 2 points. Second of 14 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.3f, good, 6/1) on NH debut 38 days ago, clear of rest. Looks sure to progress and expected to go well up in trip.

Form: 3/2-2

Kazbek¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Jake Coen⁽³⁾| T: Peter Fahey

66/1

Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Sixth of 14 in novice hurdle (5/1) at Kilbeggan (16f, good) on hurdles bow 18 days ago, plugging on. Increase in trip can help on that evidence but low-grade handicaps look likely to be more his bag moving forward.

Form: 0-86

Mighty Berkshire

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: J P O'Sullivan| T: D Queally

40/1

Berkshire gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 23f) Carrig Cathal.

Noticebox^h³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G P Cromwell

9/1

Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Hooded for 1st time, very good third of 14 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.3f, good, 6/1) 38 days ago. In good hands and feasible to think there could be more to come now stamina is tested further.

Form: F/94-33

Redondo Beach²⁴¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: R A Berry⁽⁷⁾| T: J A Berry

300/1

Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Last of 6 in minor event hurdle (250/1) at Fairyhouse (20.5f, good) in November. Hard to make a case for on return from 8 months off.

Form: PP0/96-

The Man's Room³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Conor Stone-Walsh⁽³⁾| T: Colm Murphy

3/1

Order Of St George gelding who backed up the promise of his hurdles debut 4 months earlier when second of 10 in maiden at Limerick (16.9f, good, 7/1) 36 days ago. Up in trip. Should progress further, not least now stamina is tested further.

Form: 55-2

Woodie Wango²⁸⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Michael Kenneally⁽⁷⁾| T: Rosemary Connors| OR: 90

66/1

Modest hurdler. Remains a maiden after 8 hurdle runs. Pulled up in handicap chase at Downpatrick (23.5f, good to soft, 5/1), losing place around halfway and never going well after. Off 9 months. Switches from chase to hurdles.

Form: 0/9654P-

Hurricane Bailey¹¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: H E Sexton⁽⁷⁾| T: E Sheehy

100/1

Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Pulled up in novice hurdle at Gowran (16.1f, heavy, 50/1) 118 days ago, in touch leaving back straight. First run for yard after leaving Barry Fitzgerald. Engaged 6.45 Tipperary Thursday.

Form: 37/5P-

Quarry Tiepy³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins

11/1

8-y-o mare who was successful on last of 4 starts in points (Dec 2022). Presumably not been easy to train to have been absent prior to finishing fifth of 10 in mares' maiden hurdle at Tramore (21.7f, good to soft) on Rules debut 35 days ago. Should have more to offer.

Form: 6P31/5

Ivy Berry²⁸¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr L Burke-Ott⁽⁷⁾| T: M Winters

150/1

Once-raced maiden. Ninth of 12 in bumper at Listowel (16f, soft, 22/1) on NH debut. Off 9 months. Makes hurdles debut. Up in trip. Reserve 1.

Forecasts

Kamikaz Du Plessis (11/8), The Man's Room (3/1), Dream Diamond (7/2), Leave In Secret (8/1), Noticebox (9/1), Quarry Tiepy (11/1), Following Orders (16/1), March On Dave (33/1), Mighty Berkshire (40/1), Kazbek (66/1), Woodie Wango (66/1), Bubba Yeats (100/1), Hurricane Bailey (100/1), Jimmybrien (150/1), Ivy Berry (150/1), Chasing Crowns (150/1), Redondo Beach (300/1)

Having finished placed in a pair of points, KAMIKAZ DU PLESSIS produced a promising first effort under Rules when runner-up in a Ballinrobe maiden 38 days ago. Rating a likely improver now stepping up in trip, he earns the vote ahead of similarly promising The Man's Room who filled the same spot at Limerick recently. Dream Diamond and Quarry Tiep complete the shortlist.
