Reiki Revolution¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Tiernan Power Roche⁽⁵⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 110| BF

7/4

Bumper winner for Shark Hanlon who ran best race to date in this sphere and probably should have won when very good second of 18 in novice hurdle at Cork (24f, good) 14 days ago, finishing strongly having been left with too much to do. Well worth a second look on the back of that.

Form: 515-432

William Butler^b1²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR: 113

11/5

Promising type. 4/1, good fourth of 14 in novice hurdle at Wexford (24.4f, good to soft) 21 days ago, left with too much to do. Blinkers on 1st time and strong suspicion he has an even bigger performance in his locker.

Form: 155-324

Beltoy²⁷¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr T C Kileff⁽⁷⁾| T: S R B Crawford

33/1

€4,000 3-y-o, Idaho gelding. Closely related to a point winner. Dam pulled up in point. Last of 7 finishers completed start in points (Oct 2024).

Form: P7-

Dancing Tariff

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Gary Noonan⁽⁵⁾| T: D Budds

80/1

Dansant gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Winding Roe. Dam, point winner, sister to fair hurdler/useful chaser (stayed easy 27f) Dance Island.

Form:

Jimmybrien^p,t1¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Ms H Phillips⁽⁷⁾| T: M J Phillips| D

66/1

Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Fifth of 6 in minor event hurdle (150/1) at Cork (24f, good) 14 days ago. Tongue strap now reached for and whilst this less demanding than his latest assignment, he's likely to be bettered served by low-grade handicaps after this.

Form: 73P-095

Lucky Jack^t¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: J Smith⁽⁵⁾| T: Ian Donoghue| OR: 87

50/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 28/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time cheekpieces on for 1st time, twelfth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (19.9f, good) 12 days ago, tailed off. Up in trip.

Form: 500-0

Midnight Moonshine¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: B W Harvey| T: William Harvey| OR: 100| D

4/1

Soldier Of Fortune gelding who matched his borderline fair chase form when second of 7 in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (21.8f, good to firm) on hurdles bow 11 days ago. Shaped as if this longer trip would be within range then and each-way claims again.

Form: 49-5252

North Moon²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: P Townend| T: W P Mullins| BF

5/1

Spanish Moon gelding who was well supported when seventh of 14 in bumper at Wexford (16.9f, good to soft, 2/1) on NH debut 21 days ago. Clearly thought capable of better on that occasion and he's worth another chance given connections now hurdling.

Form: 7

Stickman^h1⁴⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Eoin Staples⁽⁷⁾| T: Donncha Duggan| OR: 105

22/1

Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Shaped as if amiss when pulled up in novice hurdle at Punchestown (23.5f, good, 33/1) 47 days ago, shaken up before 2 out and folding. Hood on 1st time and bounce back not ruled out.

Form: 7533/6P

Cappaho⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Cian Quirke| T: E Seymour

200/1

Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Pulled up in novice hurdle (100/1) at Killarney (22.8f, good to soft) 7 days ago, shaken up circuit out and dropping away. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 9P-9PP

Justmadeit^p,t¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: D King| T: D Hogan| OR: 80

18/1

Remains a maiden after 8 hurdle runs. 17/2, bit below form after 9 months off when seventh of 13 in handicap hurdle at this course (18.7f, good) 14 days ago. Steps back up significantly in trip and looks to have her work cut out reverting back to maiden company.

Form: 9/P607-7

Singing Casamento

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Mr B J Walsh⁽⁷⁾| T: B J Walsh

125/1

Form:

Urban Lee

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Eoghan Finegan⁽⁷⁾| T: G Keane

125/1

Urban Poet mare. Dam poor maiden hurdler. Others are preferred on this occasion. Engaged 5.10 Wexford Thursday.

Forecasts

Reiki Revolution (7/4), William Butler (11/5), Midnight Moonshine (4/1), North Moon (5/1), Justmadeit (18/1), Stickman (22/1), Beltoy (33/1), Lucky Jack (50/1), Fulminis Instar (50/1), Jimmybrien (66/1), Dancing Tariff (80/1), Singing Casamento (125/1), Urban Lee (125/1), Cappaho (200/1)

WILLIAM BUTLER and Reiki Revolution each arrive on the back of encouraging efforts on their most recent starts and may well be the pair to focus on, the former narrowly preferred with blinkers enlisted for the first time. Hurdles debutant North Moon couldn't justify market support on bumper debut 21 days ago, yet the confidence behind him that day ought not to be forgotten and he's also respected for the all-conquering Mullins' yard.
