20:30 Curragh — Corinthian Challenge Charity Race Series ratings & form
← racecardsConsistent recent form with three successive placed efforts including at Listowel most recently over sixteen furlongs, beaten eight and a half lengths. Effective at twelve to sixteen furlongs, he is one of the better horses here and can go well with improvement possible; a genuine contender.
Off a short break and effective at nine to ten furlongs on easy ground on the Flat, he has done well over hurdles but has often been his own worst enemy by going too fast. On the Flat with more judicious riding he has a genuine chance; his figure here gives him the best claim.
In form over twelve to sixteen furlongs on all-weather at Dundalk and at this level, beaten six and a quarter lengths last time when held but not disgraced. Off a short break with the stable having taken this race before and effective on good and all-weather; a genuine contender who can go well.
Returning to the Flat after a below-form hurdle effort where the ground may have been too quick; more is needed here in this company. With a first-time tongue-tie added, he is an unknown quantity and the Flat transition requires more evidence before confidence can be placed.
Well beaten in his last four runs including at the last in a hurdle most recently, he is off a short break with plenty to prove. He has form at a mile on good going but there is much to overcome; the recent form makes it hard to be positive.
The circumstances of his last chase win need context — a late faller gifted him the prize by 25 lengths — so the form offers little reliable evidence. He is off a short break but hard to recommend on Flat debut in this company on that basis.
He ran to form when second in a novice hurdle at Punchestown most recently and has been respected back on the Flat where he is effective at eight to twelve furlongs on soft, good and probably all-weather. He has a win on his record over the Flat and is a credible each-way option.
She landed a race at this distance and was twice placed before that at twelve to fourteen furlongs on cut ground, and ran to form last time at Gowran Park in a handicap. Off a short break; she is effective at the distance and going and could have a say again here — the recent form is solid.
Hard to recommend now on the Flat having been below form in a recent hurdle where he may have found the experience busy. He was in good form prior and there is ability lurking, but there is plenty to prove before he can be taken seriously here in this company.
He returned to form in his most recent hurdle but was still beaten eight lengths, visually in need of further. Plenty more is needed before he can be recommended on the Flat; hard to make a case in this company without more reliable evidence.
An unraced gelding on the Flat, he was well beaten in a handicap hurdle most recently and is hard to recommend without reliable form to assess. All to do on debut in this company.
She was pulled up in a hurdle most recently after a long layoff, which gives cause for concern. There is all to do, with limited reliable form to assess here on first run back.
Well held in a hurdle most recently and returning from a long break, there is plenty more needed before he can compete here. He has form at the distance and going from previous Flat efforts but the recent hurdles form is not a sound guide; needs time.
Well held most recently in a hurdle at Downpatrick where he did too much too soon, effective at twelve to fourteen furlongs on yielding and good when at his best. Not the force of old since his layoff and the form since returning has been modest; needs to rediscover earlier form.
He has a win on his record and was well held most recently at Limerick from off the pace in a handicap; stamina at the longer trip is to be proved and he is off a short break. A bounce-back is needed and if he settles, his form at a mile on good and with cut offers a hook; not impossible.
Out of form most recently at Limerick and well held; effective at a mile on good though all to prove after recent efforts. The form is thin and a significant improvement is needed; hard to recommend in the current state.
