 5yo+, 14 Runners

 Jumps,Turf , 2m 157y , HEAVY

Asisaid – 10/1 – bet365

Despite showing some ability on the Flat, Asisaid is yet to translate that form to hurdles convincingly. His past efforts suggest he has ability, but his jumping remains a concern. Needs to find significant improvement to challenge in this field.

Morse – 28/1 – Betvictor

Hasn’t quite found his rhythm over hurdles, with his recent efforts offering little encouragement. Would need to produce a career-best performance to trouble the main contenders here. Others make more appeal.

Quantum Leap – 8/1 – Unibet

Showed some promise on the Flat but has been off the track for a while. If he can reproduce his best form, he could be competitive, but his lack of experience over obstacles is a question mark.

Weston – 50/1 – bet365

Has struggled to make any impression in previous outings, with little indication that a turnaround is imminent. A major outsider who would be a surprise winner.

Whimsy – 7/4 – Betvictor

Consistent performer with solid placed efforts in recent starts. This looks like a prime opportunity to break his maiden, and with a repeat of his previous form, he should be right in the mix. A strong contender.

Arnacoeur – 66/1 – Unibet

Offered little encouragement in past runs and finished well beaten last time out. No obvious signs of improvement and looks unlikely to feature prominently.

Klap – 50/1 – bet365

Unexposed but hasn’t shown enough in limited appearances to suggest he can trouble the better-fancied runners. A watching brief is advised.

Nukie’s Artic – 28/1 – Betvictor

Makes his hurdling debut and would need to produce something special to make an impact. Difficult to recommend without previous jumps form.

Paul Collins – 9/1 – Unibet

Represents a strong yard and has put together some respectable efforts, though he has yet to get his head in front. Could be in the mix, but others hold stronger claims for victory.

Sioux Eagle – 17/2 – bet365

Previously raced on the Flat and now makes his hurdle debut. Has ability, but whether he takes to jumping remains to be seen. Not ruled out, but a risky proposition.

Adaliz – 25/1 – Betvictor

Showed very little on debut and will need considerable improvement to figure here. Others preferred.

Adela Icon – 11/4 – Unibet

Represents a top stable and has shown glimpses of promise despite being well beaten last time. Likely to improve for that run and should be a major player here.

I’m Flattered – 12/1 – bet365

Only two starts so far and has yet to show enough to suggest he can win at this level. Needs to find significant progress to be a factor.

Mollys Dolly – 50/1 – Betvictor

Little encouragement from her efforts so far. A big outsider who would need a dramatic turnaround to feature.

Verdict

Whimsy appears to have the most solid credentials in this field, with consistent efforts that suggest a breakthrough win is within reach. Adela Icon represents a leading yard and could improve significantly, while Paul Collins might offer value for a place. Quantum Leap is an interesting contender if he takes to hurdling, but preference is for Whimsy to get off the mark.

50,000 Euros BetVictor Graduation Bonus Series Maiden Hurdle (Div II)

 5yo+, 14 Runners

 Jumps,Turf , 2m 157y , HEAVY

Come On The Lads – 9/4 – bet365

Has produced some respectable performances, including a solid fourth-place finish two runs ago. However, inconsistency has been an issue. If he can put it all together, he’s a major contender, but he does come with risks attached.

High Court Cave – 12/1 – Betvictor

Had a couple of encouraging runs last year but disappointed on his latest start. If he recaptures his best form, he could be involved, though others appear to have stronger claims.

San Aer – 10/1 – Unibet

A seasoned campaigner who has put in some fair performances, though his latest effort was underwhelming. If he can reproduce his earlier promise, he has an each-way chance but needs to improve.

Fortunate Lighting – 11/2 – bet365

Showed ability in bumpers and on his hurdling debut but was last seen over a year ago. The long absence raises questions, but if he’s fit and ready, he could be a strong player.

Free Flow – 16/1 – Betvictor

Still learning the game and has yet to put in a truly eye-catching performance. His best effort came in a maiden hurdle two runs ago, but he needs to take a step forward to feature here.

Grey Pharoh – 13/2 – Unibet

Hasn’t shown much in two runs over hurdles but comes from a strong yard. He could improve with more experience, but others look more convincing.

Lambay Island – 9/1 – bet365

Still relatively unexposed, having had just two starts over hurdles. Showed some promise last time and could improve further, but might find a few too strong.

Runcok – 6/4 – Betvictor

Represents a top stable and showed ability in his last two starts. If he takes another step forward, he looks like one of the most likely winners here. A leading contender.

Summer Is Here – 100/1 – Unibet

Struggled in all three outings so far, showing little sign of progress. A big outsider who would need a dramatic turnaround to make an impact.

Vallon Du Plessis – 100/1 – bet365

No significant form to recommend him, having been well beaten in all previous starts. Unlikely to play a role in this contest.

Welcome Aboard – 66/1 – Betvictor

Yet to show much in two starts, finishing well down the field on both occasions. A huge price for a reason, with little to suggest he can trouble the main contenders.

Regards To Rose – 66/1 – Unibet

Showed some ability in the past but has been very inconsistent. On current form, he appears unlikely to challenge, but stranger things have happened.

Spread Your Wings – 16/1 – bet365

Yet to put in a standout performance but hasn’t been completely outclassed. Could be an interesting outsider if things go his way.

Underhercontrol – 100/1 – Betvictor

Has offered little in two starts and would need a major step forward to make any impact. Not one to consider based on what we’ve seen so far.

Verdict

Runcok looks to have the most potential in this field, given his progressive profile and strong connections. Come On The Lads has the ability to get involved if he puts in a consistent effort, while Fortunate Lighting could be interesting if returning in top shape. San Aer may offer value for a place, but Runcok is the one to beat.

Familiar Dreams – 11/8 – bet365

A highly progressive sort who strung together a flawless sequence in bumpers before finishing a respectable third on his hurdling debut. Expected to build on that run, and if he does, he will be a tough contender to oppose in this field.

Bitofajokelike – 80/1 – Betvictor

Has yet to make any meaningful impression in two starts under rules, finishing well down the field on both occasions. Significant improvement is needed for him to be competitive here.

Game On – 13/2 – Unibet

Ran with promise in his early career but has had his fair share of setbacks. Unseated on his most recent start, which leaves a question mark over his jumping. If he stays on his feet, he could make his presence felt, but he’s not the safest option.

Leaky Cauldron – 6/1 – bet365

Represents top connections and made an eye-catching debut before disappointing last time. Likely to strip fitter for that experience and remains one to watch closely. Has the ability to figure if back to his best.

Milanova – 33/1 – Betvictor

Limited hurdling experience and finished well beaten on his first start in this sphere. Needs to find a significant step forward to make an impact against stronger opposition here.

Our Soldier – 16/1 – Unibet

Showed some promise when finishing third in his most recent outing, having previously been well held. If he continues on an upward trajectory, he could have an outside chance of making the frame.

Pookie Holler – 10/1 – bet365

Two career runs have shown glimpses of ability, particularly when finishing third on debut. Has the potential to improve further, but others have more compelling claims for the win.

Sir Carnegie – 50/1 – Betvictor

Struggled in his appearances so far, failing to get competitive. Would need a remarkable turnaround to be a factor in this race. Unlikely to feature.

The Mail Train – 33/1 – Unibet

Placed in a couple of early starts but has since been unable to replicate that form. Needs to find something extra to be involved at the business end here.

Toad Hall – 11/4 – bet365

Represents a powerhouse stable and was well backed before making his debut. Hasn’t been seen much since, but if fully wound up, he could pose a serious challenge. Worth keeping a close eye on.

Westandtogether – 20/1 – Betvictor

Yet to show much in limited appearances and will need a substantial improvement to be in the mix. Others make stronger appeal.

Verdict

Familiar Dreams has already demonstrated plenty of ability and looks well-placed to secure a first hurdle success. Toad Hall could pose a serious challenge, given his strong connections, while Leaky Cauldron is another who could bounce back and play a role. Game On has ability but comes with risks, so the safest choice is Familiar Dreams to confirm his promise.

 Jumps,Turf , 2m 6f 175y , HEAVY

Affinity Rock – 9/2 – bet365

Won a bumper impressively before stepping into hurdles with a respectable effort. Likely to benefit from the longer trip, and with further progress expected, she has a strong chance of being in contention.

Creadan Grace – 9/4 – Betvictor

Represents a leading stable and has been well supported in the market. Though lacking experience compared to some rivals, she has shown enough ability to suggest she can play a big role in this contest.

Cullig – 33/1 – Unibet

Has struggled in previous outings, with little indication of improvement. The step up in trip could help, but there are stronger candidates in this field.

Joshua’s Daylami – 10/1 – bet365

Has been running consistently without managing to break through. Likely to stay the trip, but she will need to find extra to challenge the top contenders.

Justabitofyours – 20/1 – Betvictor

Fell last time out but had previously shown glimpses of potential. Could improve if she jumps better, but this looks like a tough assignment.

Knocknagoran Lady – 7/1 – Unibet

Has been knocking on the door in recent starts, and the extended trip could suit. If she continues her steady improvement, she could be a lively outsider to consider.

Mayo Shirocco – 11/4 – bet365

A debut winner in a bumper and now takes her first step into hurdling. If she translates that form to this discipline, she has every chance of making an impact. However, experience could be a factor against her.

Milanaway – 15/2 – Betvictor

Has put in some solid performances but hasn’t quite managed to put everything together. If things go her way, she could challenge for the places.

Neska Blue – 25/1 – Unibet

A couple of reasonable efforts in her last few starts, but she will need to step up considerably to make a mark here. Others look far more likely to be involved.

Verdict

This looks like a tight contest, but Creadan Grace brings strong connections and potential, making her a leading contender. Mayo Shirocco is an interesting debutant who could make her presence felt, while Knocknagoran Lady has a solid profile and could surprise a few. However, Affinity Rock may be the one to come out on top if she improves for the step up in trip.

Topgun Simmy – 12/1 – bet365

Produced some solid efforts earlier in the season but has struggled for form recently. A return to his best would make him an interesting each-way option, but he needs to show more to be considered a leading contender.

Carrig Sam – 25/1 – Betvictor

Hasn’t been able to find consistency, with recent efforts falling short of what’s required here. Hard to recommend based on recent form, though his best runs have shown some ability.

Heroes Rise – 100/30 – Unibet

Has performed well in recent races, finishing in the frame multiple times. If he can continue his progression, he should be heavily involved in the finish and is one of the main contenders.

Roxhill Roise – 10/1 – bet365

Won well earlier in the season before disappointing last time out. Needs to bounce back from that below-par effort, but if returning to his previous form, he could be a lively outsider.

Lucky Viv – 5/1 – Betvictor

Finally broke through with a victory last time out, suggesting he’s improving. If he continues on that upward curve, he could be one to keep a close eye on here.

Thegraveyardbookie – 12/1 – Unibet

Has struggled to make an impact in recent starts, though he did show some minor improvement last time. Needs to find another gear to trouble the leading contenders.

Cosmo Renfro – 14/1 – bet365

Has failed to complete on multiple occasions this season and will need to show significant improvement to feature. Not the most reliable option, but could be capable on his day.

Influential Lady – 20/1 – Betvictor

Veteran mare who has struggled in recent races. Hard to make a strong case for her given current form, but experience could play a role over this trip.

Ballinoe Blaze – 14/1 – Unibet

Has hinted at ability with a couple of placed efforts but has yet to deliver a winning performance. Could be one for the minor places but needs to find something extra to win.

Buck Rogers – 8/1 – bet365

Finished third last time out in a promising run and looks to be improving. If he builds on that performance, he could be in the mix here.

Cozone – 25/1 – Betvictor

Hasn’t shown enough in recent outings to suggest he can be competitive here. Unlikely to be a factor unless finding sudden improvement.

Rokathir – 9/2 – Unibet

Lightly raced and could have more to offer. Fell last time out, which raises concerns, but if he stays on his feet, he has the ability to challenge at the business end.

Plain Or Battered – 7/1 – bet365

Has put in some solid performances this season but needs to bounce back after a poor last run. Could be a player if back to his best.

Verdict

Heroes Rise has been running consistently and looks the safest choice in this staying contest. Rokathir has the potential to improve further and could be a strong challenger if avoiding mistakes, while Lucky Viv is an interesting contender who arrives on the back of a victory. Buck Rogers and Plain Or Battered are worth considering for the places, but the preference is for Heroes Rise to get the job done.

High Honour – 25/1 – bet365

Won well earlier in the season but has struggled in his last few starts. Needs a return to form, and while he has ability, others arrive in better shape.

Blue Reed – 4/1 – Betvictor

Has been edging closer to a breakthrough, finishing runner-up last time out. If he continues his upward trend, he could be a strong contender to go one better.

Coffeys Forge – 7/2 – Unibet

Finished a solid second in his most recent appearance and seems to be improving with each run. With his experience and consistency, he looks like one of the top candidates for success here.

Silent Flight – 12/1 – bet365

Showed potential last season but hasn’t quite rediscovered that form in recent outings. If he can bounce back, he might be one to consider for the places.

Kiln Time – 20/1 – Betvictor

Recent form doesn’t inspire much confidence, and he will need a dramatic improvement to figure here. A watching brief is advised.

Duce Bigalow – 8/1 – Unibet

Yet to fully convince over hurdles but has hinted at ability. If he can find a bit more, he could have an outside chance of making the frame.

Run For Cover – 12/1 – bet365

Hasn’t been able to get competitive in his outings so far. Will need to show significant improvement to challenge the main contenders.

Awakino – 25/1 – Betvictor

Has shown very little in recent efforts and will need to find a lot more to trouble the front-runners. Looks like a long shot.

Lariat – 8/1 – Unibet

Has been holding his form reasonably well, and if he continues to build on his recent performances, he could be an interesting each-way selection.

Sonny Fella – 33/1 – bet365

Hasn’t been able to make a real impact in his last few outings. Needs to show signs of improvement before being considered a strong contender.

Princess Fiadh – 33/1 – Betvictor

Fell last time and hasn’t looked competitive in her previous races. Needs a major turnaround in form.

I’m For Home – 16/1 – Unibet

Has produced a couple of fair runs in the past but hasn’t quite found consistency. If things fall right for him, he could sneak into a place.

Joe’s Turn – 7/1 – bet365

Won a race a few starts ago but has been inconsistent since. Has the potential to be involved but needs to return to winning form.

Without Exception – 10/1 – Betvictor

Has put in some fair efforts and could be a lively outsider. If he finds a bit more improvement, he could be competitive.

Nicoles Getaway – 25/1 – Unibet

Has yet to show much promise under rules, and unless a major improvement is found, she is hard to recommend.

Masterstonemason – 33/1 – bet365

An 11-year-old with very little recent form to suggest he will play a role here. Looks to be up against it.

Verdict

Coffeys Forge is a consistent performer and looks the most likely to land this contest based on his recent efforts. Blue Reed is knocking on the door and should be a major threat, while Lariat has shown enough ability to be a contender for the places. Joe’s Turn could spring a surprise if back to his best, but Coffeys Forge is the one to beat.

Churchwarden – 12/1 (Best odds: Unibet)

Won a maiden hurdle before running a solid race in handicaps, though he was pulled up last time out. Needs to bounce back, but his earlier form suggests he could be in contention if staying the trip.

Prophet’s Corner – 9/2 (Best odds: bet365)

A consistent performer who has finished in the top three in all four starts this season. Should be thereabouts again and could go close with a strong staying effort.

Duffys Hodey – 15/8 (Best odds: BetVictor)

Arrives in top form after back-to-back wins and looks a major contender to complete the hat-trick. Handles different conditions well and should put in another solid performance.

Rue Taylor – 4/1 (Best odds: bet365)

Started the season strongly with a couple of wins before struggling last time. If he can rediscover his best form, he has strong each-way claims.

Folly Beach – 10/1 (Best odds: BetVictor)

Has been below his best in recent outings but is capable on his day. A return to peak form would make him an interesting outsider.

I Ballyadam Moon – 15/2 (Best odds: Unibet)

Produced a much-improved effort last time when finishing second. If building on that, he could be an each-way player.

Look Don’t Touch – 33/1 (Best odds: bet365)

Had some decent runs earlier in the season but has struggled more recently. Would need a big turnaround in form to figure here.

Apples In Winter – 33/1 (Best odds: BetVictor)

Yet to show enough in recent starts to suggest he can trouble the main contenders. Others look more likely.

Misty Milan – 6/1 (Best odds: bet365)

Finished well last time out despite a lengthy layoff and could improve further. If staying the trip, he has a fair chance of making an impact.

Verdict

Duffys Hodey has been thriving lately and is the one to beat. Prophet’s Corner has been knocking on the door and should be in the mix again. Misty Milan is an interesting contender if stepping forward from his last run, while Rue Taylor can’t be ignored if returning to form. I Ballyadam Moon could also have a say if continuing his improvement.
