Ballinrea

No Time To Wait

Jockey: G Brouder Trainer: John C McConnell Age/Wt: 7/11-4 F: 4/P439- OR: 129

Comment: Two wins under rules came on soft-heavy ground; last seen finishing a distant ninth in the National Hunt Chase at the Cheltenham Festival; ran well at Musselburgh on penultimate run when losing by 1L (2m7f, good); cheek pieces added to tongue tie; one of the likelier contenders if the favourite underperforms.

Comment: Sole win came on hurdles debut at Auteuil in 2022 (2m1f, heavy); second in the 2023 Martin Pipe; 0-10 over fences, thouhg has been running okay in some valuable staying handicap chases including in the bet365 at Sandown most recently where he finished fourth of 19 (3m4f, good); appears to have a good opportunity to bag a second win.

Comment: Hasn't looked a natural over fences but won a Grade 2 handicap chase at Cheltenham in April last year from a mark of 137 (2m4f, good); badly out of form since then; first run for new trainer needs to spark a revival.

Comment: Winner of a maiden hurdle at this track in January 2024 (2m, soft); best run since then was last time at this track again when third of 18 in a valuable handicap chase (2m4f, yielding); hasn't looked a natural jumper of a fence but appears to have a liking for this place and capable of a big run.

Jockey: J Coen Trainer: Gordon Elliott Age/Wt: 8/10-7 F: 8097-3 OR: 117

Comment: Set a stiff task last time at Wexford over hurdles when a 43L third of four (3m, good); form in handicap chases prior to that has been average; last win came in a heavy ground handicap chase at Fairyhouse in March last year from a 7lb higher mark; newly added tongue tie needs to spark some life.

Queenofthelodge

Jockey: Miss T Quail Trainer: S Curling Age/Wt: 5/10-13 F: 0222-1 OR: 105

Comment: Consistent and likeable mare; had three seconds in a row before getting her head in front at Downpatrick last month when she showed grit to come out on top (2m2f, good); didn't jump great that day so scope for improvement in that department but she is getting high in the handicap; rider had a fine season in points, well supported by this stable.

Harry's Dream

Jockey: Miss F Fox Trainer: P J Rothwell Age/Wt: 5/10-8 F: 2976- OR: 100

Comment: Has shown promise in some of his bumper and maiden hurdle starts; made handicap hurdle debut in March at Limerick with a good effort when sixth (2m, soft); he is dropped 2lb since then and wears a first time tongue tie so there are reasons to be hopeful.

Comment: Got third hurdles win at Thurles in November off 96; struggled off revised mark at Fairyhouse later that month; went over fences for seasonal return last month with a midfield finish (2m, good-yielding); has shown a liking for this track so has a chance.

Rose Boum

Jockey: Ms H Phillips Trainer: Paul Nolan Age/Wt: 5/10-0 F: 475-2 OR: 92

Comment: Has run well the last twice since returning from a break; particularly when pulling 25L clear with one other when second at Wexford last time; raised 6lb for that but she appears to have responded well to the application of blinkers and she may get her day in the sun here; jockey has plenty of point-to-point experience.

Divilabother

Jockey: Caragh Monaghan Trainer: Thomas Coyle Age/Wt: 7/10-0 F: 302-0 OR: 89

Comment: 3lb out of the handicap; Jekyll and Hyde type profile; intersperses a good run with a bad one; last time was one of the bad ones when he was beaten by 74L at Sligo at 5-1 (2m4f, good); prior to that was a pleasing second at Fairyhouse from a 4lb lower mark; hard to depend on but capable of running well.

Sporting Glance

Jockey: B W Harvey Trainer: Cian Collins Age/Wt: 6/11-12 F: 24P-4

Comment: Point-to-point winner; ran with promise in bumpers at Galway and Killarney last August; pulled up when 9-2 in a maiden hurdle at Cork in March; tongue-tie fitted at Killarney when just run out of third place by the long-absent Joli Travail; may struggle to reverse that form.

Comment: Fairyhouse bumper winner on debut last November; beaten 9l in fifth on maiden hurdle debut over 3m at Limerick; looked short of pace when 10l third over 3m1f at Tipperary; possibly more of a chasing type, stablemate Jazz De Cotte is more appealing.

Luker's Tipple

Jockey: K C Sexton Trainer: Andrew Kinirons Age/Wt: 4/11-7 F: 22F0- OR: 122

Comment: Useful juvenile hurdler last season, second in a 20-runner contest over C&D in December and Cork in January; finished in midfield in the Fred Winter at Cheltenham; beaten a neck by Mick Collins in a 1m4f Flat maiden at Bellewstown in April; tongue-tie and cheekpieces on now for the rematch with the winner.

Mick Collins

Jockey: E Walsh Trainer: Noel Meade Age/Wt: 4/11-7 F: 6-5

Comment: 82-rated on Flat after beating today's rival Luker's Tipple win at Bellewstown (1m4f, good) in April; multiple excuses for hurdles debut at Cork last October (keen, mistakes, slipped badly and burst blood vessel); disappointing when favourite at the same venue last month; Luker's Tipple has superior hurdles form.

Comment: 1m2f novice winner on good ground for James Ferguson at Lingfield last year, rated 77 on Flat bought for 8,000 gns at Tattersalls last October; unfancied when down the field on yard/hurdles debut at Killarney; tongue-tie now.

Boston Queen

Jockey: F Brickley Trainer: Gordon Elliott Age/Wt: 4/11-0

Comment: Fourth foal; half-sister to six-time 6f/7f winner Brockey Rise; dam unraced half-sister to 6f Group 3 winner Age Of Chivalry and useful 7f-Ire/US winner Sebastian Flyte; newcomer from top stable.

Gerrys Wish

Jockey: P Cleary Trainer: Gordon Elliott Age/Wt: 4/11-0 F: 8

Comment: Stablemate of the unraced Boston Queen; made little impact on debut at Killarney; will probably need to pick up more experience.

Isobel's Charm

Comment: Second foal; by Walk In The Park out of an unraced half-sister to useful chase winner Patricks Park, out of unraced half-sister to smart French chaser Remember Rose; one of three in the race for her trainer.

Watching The Clock

Jockey: P T Smithers Trainer: Padraig Roche Age/Wt: 4/11-0 F: 3

Comment: Best of three runners for her owner when making late headway into third in a 2m1f maiden at Tipperary last month; can improve with that initial outing under her belt.

Comment: Bumper winner on yielding ground at Tramore last October; ran well behind a Willie Mullins-trained favourite in a winners' event at Limerick nine days later; unseated at the last when challenging for the lead in a 2m4f maiden Fairyhouse on her hurdling debut; returns from 208-day break.

Atomic Queen

Jockey: Mr A P Ryan Trainer: Peter Fahey Age/Wt: 6/11-11 F: 0-1

Comment: Showed that her debut run at Galway last September was not a fair reflection of her ability when scoring at Limerick ten days ago; still looked raw and should be able to hold her own in company with other winners if this does not come too soon.

Boujee

Jockey: Mr D Doyle Trainer: M A Molloy Age/Wt: 8/11-11 F: 1/7

Comment: Down Royal bumper winner on debut in August 2022; by far the best mare to come out of the race was third-placed Jetara who has performed consistently at a high level; after a long absence, was entitled to need last month's run over hurdles at Tipperary; could be competitive now.

Kabylia

Jockey: Mr D G Lavery Trainer: Gavin Cromwell Age/Wt: 5/11-11 F: 751-2

Comment: Runner-up in a point-to-point; came good on third bumper start, landing Kilbeggan mares' contest in April, much improved in first-time hood to win with plenty in hand; raced keenly under a hold-up ride when second in a 2m2f maiden hurdle at Sligo last month; respected

Comment: Ran well for a long way when tenth of 25 in the 2024 Goffs Defender Bumper at this venue; hinted at potential when a remote fourth in a good 2m maiden hurdle Fairyhouse in January; beat subsequent winner Hello Jean in a bumper at the same venue in April; leading contender for trainer/rider of last year's winner.

Comment: Fourth foal; half-sister to hurdle winners Ottizzini (2m6f/3m) and Perzinni (2m); dam triple bumper/2m hurdle winner; this may be too demanding but worth a look for future reference.

Rosie Brown

Jockey: Mr R Sugrue Trainer: Peter Maher Age/Wt: 5/11-4

Comment: First foal; dam 2m hurdle winner, half-sister to Flat/hurdle/chase winner Lease, out of unraced half-sister to Cheveley Park winner Prophecy, best watched.
