Alentejo (G)

Fair maiden on Flat but never a threat on Ballinrobe hurdles debut 14 days ago.

Commodity Broker (G)
[H1]
Given a considerate introduction when seventh of 15 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (2¾m, good) on NH debut 15 days ago but is likely to need more time. Hooded for first time.

Goldenkap (G)
€90,000 3-y-o, Kapgarde gelding. Half-brother to numerous winners, including very smart hurdler/smart chaser Gold Tweet, stays 27f, and French hurdler/chaser Goldkikou. Worth a market check on debut given connections.

Hopeful Hero (G)
[H1]
Promising sort who has made the frame in both starts over hurdles, latterly when third of 5 in novice at Naas (2m, heavy) in November. Hood on first time. Remains open to progress.

Killowen House (G)
Point winner who offered something to work on when third of 8 in maiden at Cork (3m, good to soft) on hurdle debut 30 days ago. One of likelier contenders.

Koliath De Couely (G)
FAV
Promising individual who posted close second of 7 in minor event hurdle at Le Lion-d'Angers (2¼m, good to soft, 62/10) on debut last June. Since joined Willie Mullins and must be of interest here.

Let's Go La Fichad (G)
[H]
Showed more than in a couple of bumpers when third in Wexford novice on hurdles bow in March but not in same form at Tramore since. Others more appealing.

Mc Swagger (G)
Fair in bumpers but raced too freely on sole completed start in this sphere at Listowel last month. Improvement required.

Sampoet (G)
[P]
Fair maiden chaser but not at same level when fifth of 15 in novice at Ballinrobe (2m, good to soft, 50/1) on hurdles bow 14 days ago. Work to do.

The Boysofairhill (G)
A point winner at the fifth attempt but not troubled the judge in a couple of bumpers and is likely best watched on hurdles debut.

Crystabel (M)
Matched previous form in this sphere when creditable third of 15 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (2m, good to soft, 10/1) 14 days ago. Each-way claims.

Lilac Lady (M)
Back from 7 months off when creditable second of 15 in novice hurdle at this course (2¼m, good to soft) 28 days ago. Entitled to build on that and is one for the shortlist.
