Yeats Irish Whiskey Claiming Hurdle
Prediction Leader
Rich Belief (GB)
0%
Fair hurdles form in 2022; has done most of his racing on the Flat in recent years; second at Clonmel last September has been the only bright spot in that sphere since a 2024 Chester win; found his level when winning in this category at Wexford 13 days ago; should be the mix again.
Rest of field
Eyeeye (GB)
0%
Low-rated Flat maiden with minor placed form over hurdles; lacks a recent run and is not well suited by the race conditions; others much preferred.
Hasten Slowly (IRE)
0%
Two of her three wins over hurdles have come at Tramore; a long way below her best in a similar race to this at that course in April; hard to fancy following remote seventh behind Rich Belief at Wexford.
Raydamann (FR)
0%
Decent form near the end of the season before last, winning a maiden hurdle at Clonmel and placed in a handicap at the Punchestown festival; fair form in handicaps last summer; subsequent form raises doubts.
Tomas O Maille (IRE)
0%
Only one win from 26 starts over hurdles; a long way below his best in two starts in May; not well treated by the race conditions.
Torquay Road (IRE)
0%
Three-time hurdles winner, including on both Sligo visits; has been chasing and went close at Tramore on his penultimate start; strong contender here on the form that brought handicap wins over C&D and at Galway in the first half of last season; rider's 7lb claim an asset.
Bocelli's Voice (IRE)
0%
Weak chase form over the past 12 months; has a modest hurdles rating; veteran faces a stiff task in this company.
Woodstream Lad (IRE)
0%
Has been inconsistent in recent years; three-time winner; returned to form with a second placing in a similar race at Tramore last month; should go close.
Jaariam (FR)
0%
Fit from a point-to-point campaign; some ability in bumpers in 2022; weak hurdles form.
Phoenix Arizona (IRE)
0%
0-7 in points; placed in two small-field maiden hurdles last year; overall form is unconvincing.
