SIS Supporting Irish Racing Maiden Hurdle

Didn't offer much in 4 starts over fences. Showed much more second time up over hurdles, though, possibly benefitting from being taken wide when 14¼ lengths fourth of 14 in a Ballinrobe maiden (22.5f, 33/1). Drop back in distance suggests connections may have one eye on handicap hurdles, though.

Showed only greenness when well beaten on hurdling debut at Wexford (17f).

Hinted at better to come both starts over hurdles, finishing with running left when beaten just under 10 lengths at Wexford (17f, 125/1) latterly. Smacks of a handicap project, however, he still needs a market check in an ordinary maiden.

Diamond Boy gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful 2m hurdle winner Al Shahir and fairly useful hurdler/chaser Mr Boss Man. Stable had a first-time-out winner in a bumper last month. This one probably doesn't need to be anything out of the ordinary to be competitive here.

Hasn't gone on since his bumper debut. No encouragement sent hurdling after 19 months off at this course (2m) last time.

Walk In The Park gelding out of a useful mare who raced in these colours. Offered something to work with when 14½ lengths third of 11 in a course novice (2m) on debut. Very much one to consider with improvement likely over this longer trip.

Blue Bresil mare. Half-sister to fair hurdler/chaser Beggars Rock, stays 3¼m. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/very smart chaser (stayed 25f) Aces Four and fairly useful hurdler (2m-2½m winner) Hell Cat Maggie. Powerful yard 5-9 with 2026 hurdling debutants (prior to this meeting).

Looked a little more straightforward/hinted at ability when mid-field in a Ballinrobe maiden (17f) second time up over hurdles. Tongue strap added, and she's probably one for handicaps.

Unplaced completed start in points and no show in a couple of hurdle runs this summer.

Saw her race out much better on debut when well-beaten fifth of 15 at Ballinrobe (2m). Longer trip more in keeping with her pedigree, however, she'll likely come into her own when handicapping.

Made the frame both starts in points. Shaped with some encouragement when third in a Naas maiden hurdle and Clonmel bumper in the spring (beaten 16 lengths both occasions). Addition of first-time tongue strap could benefit given how she shaped last time. Looks a big player on hurdles return.
