16:55 Punchestown — Ladbrokes 'Get More With Ladbucks' Maiden Hurdle model predictions

Angelo Dundee (IRE)

0%

Bumper winner at this track on debut three years ago; ran with credit in four winners' bumpers since despite a stop-start career; promising hurdles debut for new yard when beaten 6l at Down Royal (2m1f, good) 33 days ago, still signs of greenness after nearly a year off; could improve a lot and a leading contender with step up in trip sure to suit.

Backinbusiness (IRE)

0%

Placed in point; encouraging debut over hurdles when beaten 3.5l into fourth at Kilbeggan 22 days ago; will improve and extra furlong likely to suit on pedigree.

Brother Walfrid (IRE)

0%

Very promising debut in Fairyhouse maiden hurdle when 3.75l second to Colcannon in April; didn't reproduce that switched to a bumper 11 days ago at Ballinrobe when beaten favourite into fourth, looking tapped for toe; step up in trip back over hurdles will suit and he holds a leading chance.

Forlio (GB)

0%

Dual Flat winner, rated 62; ran well when beaten 23l into tenth by Gomez Addams on hurdles bow at Listowel seven days ago; jumping needs to improve and he has a future in this discipline, but probably in handicaps.

Frankie's Freebie (IRE)

0%

Point winner who ran some nice races when placed in maiden hurdles behind Zanoosh, Rebel Budz and Fillyoureye; below-par the last twice, however, including in handicap company at Fairyhouse 62 days ago; not finishing out his races and needs to bounce back.

Little Big John (IRE)

0%

Pulled up and tailed off at Fairyhouse and Clonmel on first two starts; hood and tongue-tie reached for.

Minella Jackpot (GB)

0%

Runner-up in point before 30l into 16th on debut in a good bumper here a year ago, unable to sustain challenge; pulled up in point since in November and returns after a break.

Misery Hill (IRE)

0%

Well-held on both starts thus far over 2m at Kilbeggan and extended 2m6f at Ballinrobe; unlikely to be winning a maiden based on that.

Ol Parson (IRE)

0%

Ol'Man River gelding; half-brother to winners Ballygrifincottage (useful 2m6f chase/2m7f hurdle) and Brown Boots (3m hurdle/chase); dam point winner, closely related to 2m5f-2m7f hurdle chase and multiple point winner Patricktom Boru; second and fourth in latest points; makes rules debut.

Petit Secret (FR)

0%

Made winning debut in Fairyhouse bumper in December 2023, beating the smart Bleu De Vassy; returned from long absence on hurdles debut when beaten 9.5l by Playtime at Leopardstown in March; too keen and a bad mistake when tailed off at Fairyhouse 63 days ago; tongue-tie goes on now and one not to give up on for top yard.

Phoenix Lights (IRE)

0%

Fascinating Rock gelding, cost 9,000euros as a 3yo; half-brother to winners Dolphin Square (useful 2m2f-3m2f hurdle/chase) and Game Of War (2m-2m2f hurdle/chase); dam point winner, half-sister to winners Foxspur (2m4f hurdle) and Its Ironic (point/bumper).

Rosenborg (FR)

0%

Muhtathir gelding, half-brother to winners Castelfort (2m hurdle) and Mare Sol (French 2m1f chase); dam unplaced 12.5f Flat/2m1f hurdles in France, half-sister to French Listed-placed 2m1f-2m3f hurdle/chase winner Bal Celtique; finished third, beaten 11l in latest point in April; makes rules debut

Switched On (IRE)

0%

Decent pedigree, out of Irish Oaks second Roses For The Lady; beaten out of sight on debut in heavy ground bumper at Limerick 200 days ago; makes hurdles debut.

Marble Rile (IRE)

0%

Westerner mare; half-sister to point winner Kings Cave; dam bumper winner, half-sister to 2m chase winner Cango, out of unraced sister to smart 2m3f-2m6f hurdle/chase winner El Vaquero; wears hood on debut.

Ri Ra (IRE)

0%

Big prices and nothing of note in pair of bumpers and maiden hurdles; hard to recommend.

Vangaway (IRE)

0%

Hasn't shown anything in two starts over hurdles, finishing last of the finishers both times; off 373 days.

Siofra Beag (IRE)

0%

Very poor form in five starts on the Flat; similar standard when sent hurdling when pulled up at this track 24 days ago.
