€80,000 3-y-o, Coastal Path gelding. Dam 2¼m hurdle/chase winner. Placed 3 times from 5 starts in maiden points and it'll be interesting to see which way he goes in the betting.
Timeform
Made frame on first of 2 starts in bumpers but pulled up both appearances over hurdles to date. Hooded on debut in this sphere prior to also tried in a tongue strap last time but goes without headgear this time.

Winner of back-to-back 1¼m handicaps on first 2 runs for this yard during the spring. However, form has nosedived pretty badly since and, having offered little in half-a-dozen hurdles starts in Ireland, he is opposable back in this sphere.

Narrowly prevailed in a 5-runner bumper on debut here last December, despite being sent off the outsider of the quintet. Struggled at Warwick the following month but that was in a significantly stronger race (also wasn't helped by taking a circuitous route) and he's of interest now hurdling.
|
Timeform
Half-brother to a couple of winning hurdlers and won by a wide margin on the second of his 2 runs between the flags. Yard's strike rate over hurdles is pretty modest (stable enjoys more success over the larger obstacles) but he's one to note in the betting nonetheless.
Timeform
Bought for £58,000 after finishing runner-up sole start in Irish points but sent off at 66/1 and was never really in the hunt on Rules debut in a Uttoxeter novice last month.
|
Timeform
Showed modest form in a couple of bumpers but there have been no positives at all to take from his efforts over hurdles so far.
|
Timeform
€86,000 half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Fest Deiz and fair hurdler/chase winner Gerard Mentor. Nearer last than first on his introduction in a Worcester bumper but he nevertheless offered something to work on and, in good hands, may well leave that behind now switched to hurdles.
|
Timeform
Pulled up sole start in Irish points and it would be an understatement to say that he looked somewhat recalcitrant on Rules debut in a Uttoxeter bumper (pulled very hard and ran out before the halfway point). Hood worn that day is retained for this hurdles bow.
|
Timeform
€115,000 3-y-o. Half-brother to 4 winners, including Welsh Grand National winner The Two Amigos, and fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser De Forgotten One. Obvious appeal on paper for in-form yard and confidence behind him in the betting would look highly significant.

Hooded on debut (retained here) when coming home an encouraging enough sixth of 12 in a 2m Worcester bumper. Entitled to come on for that and he's well worth a second look now switched to hurdles.
|
Timeform
Offered little both starts in maiden points and didn't fare any better sent hurdling on recent Rules debut at Warwick.
|
Timeform
Fairly useful form when placed all 3 starts in bumpers and shaped well on hurdles debut when third of 14 in a Ffos Las maiden (2½m, good) in May. Not at the same level back from a break at Worcester but he probably needed that and this drop in trip could prove to be a good thing.

Forecasts

Spirit Of Kinsale (15/8), Dark Mix (9/2), Sun Art (5/1), Typhoon Flyer (6/1), Kingsley (7/1), Inishnabro (8/1), Achille Des Rocs (10/1), Rochester Brinks (25/1), Jack Hoola (50/1), Chilled Out (66/1), Jingle Jangle Jet (100/1), Tony's Tipple (100/1), Chantilly Moon (100/1)

Verdict

As a half-brother to a Welsh Grand National winner it could be that SPIRIT OF KINSALE will also be at his best when eventually tackling the larger obstacles and faced with a stiffer test. Still, there is enough in his pedigree to suggest that there will be races to be won with him over hurdles in the meantime and the hint should be taken if the market speaks in his favour. Typhoon Flyer is feared most, while Kingsley and Sun Art can both be expected to leave their debut form well behind in time.
