18:30 Sligo — RSS Record Storage Service Maiden Hurdle model predictions

Ballyminnion Boy (IRE)

0%

Failed to complete two point-to-point starts; remote tenth at Limerick on hurdles debut.

Commodity Broker (IRE)

0%

Plenty went wrong on debut at Ballinrobe, since he was hampered early and raced a bit keenly, as well as showing a tendency to hang; not disgraced in the circumstances; may improve.

Goldenkap (FR)

0%

A E90,000 Goffs Arkle purchase as a 3yo; tenth foal; half-brother by Kapgarde to six winners, notably Gold Tweet, winner of 11 races over jumps in France; dam 1m2f winner.

Hopeful Hero (IRE)

0%

Placed in four of seven bumper starts and in both starts over hurdles; seems to run best on good ground, so any ease in the ground might be a negative; may need this after a break.

Killowen House (IRE)

0%

Half-brother to the talented Chantry House; off the mark at fifth attempt in points at Quakerstown in April; shaped with promise when third behind a stablemate of Koliath De Couely on hurdling debut at Cork; however, that was over a much longer trip; this might not be ideal, fair chance all the same.

Koliath De Couely (FR)

0%

Beaten a short head a year ago on his only start for the Viel partnership in France; cost E150,000 last July; obvious chance in a race in which not many appeal.

Let's Go La Fichad (FR)

0%

Too keen and tailed off in both bumpers; improved when hooded on hurdles debut at Wexford, although again somewhat headstrong; failed to build on that at Tramore, faded after a bad blunder three out.

Mc Swagger

0%

Made the frame in two bumper attempts; has yet to reach that standard over hurdles; dropped away tamely at Listowel last time.

Rosenborg (FR)

0%

Placed in a point; plenty of improvement needed from his run at Punchestown last Saturday.

Sampoet (IRE)

0%

Is 1-16 in points; placed in hunter chases; not disgraced on recent hurdles debut but likely to need a handicap mark.

The Boysofairhill (IRE)

0%

Point winner in a confined maiden at Dromahane; tailed off in a bumper at Listowel last week; no hurdling experience.

Crystabel (IRE)

0%

Has shown improved form to take third in maidens here and at Ballinrobe; perhaps a little more is needed to make the frame here.

Eastwestconnection (IRE)

0%

Pulled up in a point; well held by Sampoet on running in a maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe.

Humble Berkshire (IRE)

0%

66-1 chance when pulled up first time out at Limerick; safe to rule out.

Lilac Lady (IRE)

0%

Locally-trained mare; boasts fair placed form at this venue, including second behind a well-fancied rival four weeks ago; has the potential to win a race but likely to find a few too good this time.
