16:19 Gowran Park — QuinnBet (C & G) Maiden model predictions

Cracking Cloud (GB)

0%

Excellent effort over C&D (soft) on debut last month; didn't back it up on better ground at Ballinrobe (9.5f, gd-yld); could rebound if the forecast rain materialises.

Footstepstoglory (IRE)

0%

Runner up in Limerick handicap hurdle when last seen in October; related to Flat winners so worth a market check on debut in this sphere.

If Not For Grace (IRE)

0%

Elzaam gelding; brother to winners Mjjack (6f-1m2f. RPR 115) and Almustawrad (KSA 7f/1m1f), half-brother to four winners inc Chiara Wells (Italian 5f-6f inc Listed; 95); dam placed 5f 2yo (57); likely to improve for this initial experience.

It's Good To Talk (IRE)

0%

Runner up in a heavy ground bumper at Naas on debut in February; beaten 26l on Flat debut in Roscommon maiden (10.5f, gd-yld) latest; others appeal more.

Silverhillsox (IRE)

0%

125-1 and ran accordingly on debut at the Curragh; seems safe to rule out on that evidence.

Confused (IRE)

0%

Calyx gelding was a respectable fourth of 16 on debut at Cork (10.5f, gd-yld) when sent off at 6-1; didn't quite get home so this shorter trip is a plus; likely to improve and could go well.

Hello Garda (IRE)

0%

Huge odds and well beaten in 1m maidens here on latest and at Cork last October; looks one for handicaps in due course.

Hugo Spritz (IRE)

0%

125-1 and failed to beat a rival on debut at Dundalk in March; unlikely to be the answer here.

Jumpingthegun (IRE)

0%

100-1 and hooded (retained) on debut at Navan (1m, heavy) but wasn't disgraced, beaten 11l into seventh of 15; this longer trip should suit but more needed.

Listentodwindblow (IRE)

0%

Rated 92 after five starts; respectable runs in Goffs Million and valuable auction series final at Naas; 6.75l sixth of 8 in Leopardstown Group 3 in October; beaten favourite on seasonal return at the Curragh (7f, heavy); gelded since; big chance on the figures but stamina to prove; due to run 3.50 Listowel on Saturday.

Parish Team (IRE)

0%

Home-bred Parish Hall gelding; dam unraced sister to 1m2f winner Ambitious Approach, out of once-raced half-sister to 2m-3m hurdle/chase winner Istimraar; worth a market check on debut.

Pinoroyale (IRE)

0%

Pinatubo gelding; E75,000 yearling; closely related to 7f-1m4f winner Golden Lyra (inc 2yo/AW/Listed; RPR 109), half-brother to winners Going Gone (1m2f/1m4f; 103) and Sir Callisto (9.5f turf/1m4f AW; 84); dam unraced sister to German Derby winner Sea The Moon; plenty to like on paper; market can guide.

Royal Sapphire (IRE)

0%

0-6 and has looked limited; heavy defeats in claimers the last twice; impossible to make a case for.

Sharkeyboy (FR)

0%

Promise when fifth on debut at the Curragh (1m1f, yld-sft) last September; denied by a head at Leopardstown when last seen in October and the fourth from that race has since gone close in a Group 3; fascinating runner for champion jumps trainer.

The Austrian (IRE)

0%

New Bay gelding; half-brother to winners Snowcapped (Listed-placed 7f/1m; RPR 101) and It's Snowing (6f AW 2yo; 77); dam once-raced (35) half-sister to Oaks/Irish Oaks winner Snow Fairy; worth a market check on debut.

Will You Stop (IRE)

0%

Saxon Warrior gelding; kept on nicely on debut here (1m, gd-yld) when a 14-1 shot; looks well worth a go at this longer trip and could challenge for minor money if building on that debut effort.
