Thurles

Today, Hurdle2m6f

Historically a race worth following and this may go the way of two-time bumper winner MINELLA EMPEROR who improved from hurdles debut to finish third in a useful maiden at Limerick and receives a handy 5 lb from the field. Last-time-out maiden winners Espresso Milan and Sept Etoiles represent powerful yards, and both can improve for this step up in trip.

    Verdict
    Fair form in bumpers for Fergal O'Brien and looked the part prior to making a successful hurdle debut for Willie Mullins in 8-runner novice hurdle at Punchestown (16f, heavy) last month, finding plenty for pressure. Pedigree/run-style suggest he'll relish this markedly longer trip. Sure to improve.

    Verdict
    Debut fourth has worked out well and he improved as expected for the longer trip when landing 18-runner novice hurdle (11/2) at Down Royal (20.1f, soft) 23 days ago, keeping on well. In excellent hands and can progress again upped further in distance.

    Point winner who made impressive winning start in 12-runner novice hurdle (9/4) at Gowran (20.2f, soft) and improved when third under a penalty in a novice hurdle (9/2) at Newbury (20.5f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Still very early days and step up in trip should suit.

    Verdict
    Fairly useful bumper winner who has shaped with plenty of encouragement both starts over hurdles, improved third of 13 in maiden hurdle (11/1) at Limerick (21.4f, heavy) 21 days ago. That race often falls to a useful type and he makes plenty of appeal in receipt of weight from the field.

    Verdict
    Point runner-up from family yard know well. Fairly useful form in bumpers and much improved from hurdles debut (cheekpieces on for first time) when decisive winner of a Tramore novice (21.6f, soft), well-suited by emphasis on stamina. May do better again with headgear retained.

    Consistent prior to finding marked improvement to get off the mark in a 9-runner novice hurdle at this course (22.5f, soft) 29 days ago. Stamina clearly his strong suit and may be better off in handicaps over further.
