Jerry McDonnell Memorial Handicap Hurdle (0-100)

Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
10th	1	—	Giorgia Rose (M) PT Maiden pointer. Form has gone the wrong way despite finishing third on each of her 3 starts in maiden hurdles, beaten 22¼ lengths at Kilbeggan latest. Opening mark hardly generous on that evidence, f…	8-33306	Donagh Meyler E Mullins	6	75.3kg	23 22/1
2nd	2	—	Joshua Chamberlain (G) Opened his account off 2 lb higher in a Tramore handicap hurdle (heavy) in August 2023. Showed he retains some ability on his second start back after a long absence when 12½ lengths fourth over C&D l…	15/0423	Eoghan Finegan G Keane	9	73.9kg	10 9/1
4th	3	—	Gerrys Wish (M) B Has finished runner-up 3 times in handicaps for her excellent yard, latterly beaten 2¼ lengths when bouncing back to form at Wexford (3m). That was just about a career best, and she merits plenty of …	22-8P24	Jack Kennedy G Elliott	5	73.5kg	8 7/1
—	4	—	The Vegas Raider (G) Fell TV Sole success came off 3 lb higher at this track in 2024. Hasn't offered much in either start since returning from a 15-month absence, though.	920/U0F	Danny Gilligan K A Heffernan	8	72.6kg	23 22/1
7th	5	—	Ancient Myth (G) B Opening mark looked potentially lenient given his fairly useful ability on the Flat (stayed 1m), but he was always behind on handicap bow at Killarney (2½m) last time. Now tried over even further in …	0007P7	Shane Fitzgerald N F Glynn	5	72.1kg	19 18/1
14th	6	—	Barryroe Madam (M) H Sole win came in handicap hurdle over 23f at Listowel in May 2025. Best effort since joining current yard when 6½ lengths fourth of 13 at Wexford (3m) last time. She'll probably need to build on that…	004050	John Shinnick T O'Brien	7	72.1kg	13 12/1
9th	7	—	My Good Pal (G) PT Off the mark at Wexford last August. Plenty of creditable placed efforts in defeat since. Ran just about as well as he has when 1¼-length second at Downpatrick last time, sticking to his task after b…	U85295	Mr B M Coonan G P Cromwell	7	72.1kg	9.50 17/2
—	8	—	It's Time Again (M) Pulled Up P C&D winner who may have won but for crashing out at the last at Clonmel (2¾m) in June. Now has something to prove following consecutive below-par efforts at this track.	PF89P2	Liam McKenna David Barry	10	70.8kg	17 16/1
6th	9	—	Ballyminnion Boy (G) H Shaped with some encouragement at long odds in maidens. Sent off at 33/1 and stopped quickly on handicap debut at Wexford (2½m) latest. Hard to be confident now tried over even further in a first-tim…	008067	Daniel King E McCarthy	6	70.3kg	67 66/1
13th	10	—	Ranger Billy (G) P Dual winner of 3m handicap hurdles earlier in his career. Seemingly hasn't been easiest to train in recent seasons, showing first form for current yard when third over C&D last month. Couldn't match …	0-PP370	J J Slevin K A Heffernan	10	69.4kg	13 12/1
8th	11	—	Blackwater Soldier (G) Successful on the second of 2 starts in points. Looked to be being brought along steadily in maidens in 2023. Entitled to need this handicap debut following 34 months off the track.	009/820	Darragh O'Keeffe David Barry	9	68.5kg	26 25/1
12th	12	—	Chanceitlucky (G) T Low-mileage 7-y-o. Ran creditably when beaten 11½ lengths on return here (22.5f) earlier this month, a 9-month absence perhaps telling on the run-in after making most. May well build on that with ton…	9046-50	Sean Flanagan A Murray	7	68.5kg	5.50 9/2
3rd	13	—	Fine Print (G) PT Continued in good heart on the Flat when second at Tramore (2m) 9 days ago. His most recent efforts over hurdles have left a little to be desired, though, for all he's probably overdue a go over this…	8-40632	Alex Harvey J C McConnell	5	68kg	17 16/1
11th	14	—	Phildante (M) PT Belatedly off the mark under this promising conditional at Wexford last time, travelled well and always holding on. A 4-lb rise doesn't look insurmountable on the best of last summer's form, and she …	64F106	Joshua Halford E Doyle	9	67.1kg	7 6/1
5th	15	—	Tawny Lea (M) Isn't badly bred but has offered little to date, including on handicap debut at Kilbeggan (19f, 66/1) latest. Now tried over longer trip.	08R057	Philip Byrnes Thomas Coyle	6	66.7kg	51 50/1
1st	16	—	Princess Felicia (M) FAV Lightly-raced 7-y-o. Pleasing debut for current yard when 4¾ lengths third (fifth and sixth both won next time) at Clonmel last autumn. Improved again to go close at Tramore (2½m) following a further…	3U/3-210	Peter Smithers D H Kelly	7	66.2kg	4 3/1
—	17	—	Tantrum Boy (G) Lightly-raced 6-y-o. Showed his first form when beaten 5¾ lengths over C&D last month. Subsequently matched that on chasing debut at Roscommon but needs a step forward to play a leading role back ove…	084420	Reserve 1 B McMahon	6	66.7kg	21 20/1 Sky B… 8.50 Paddy… 8.50 Betfa… 8
—	18	—	But What About Me (M) Finished as close as she has when 8 lengths behind It's Time Again here on final start for Norman Lee. At least warrants a market check returning 16 months on for new yard. RESERVE.	F087/70	Reserve 2 B T Murphy	8	67.6kg	34 33/1 Sky B… 19 Betfa… 19 Paddy… 19
—	19	—	St Anthonys Corner (M) Course winner on debut in 2024. Went off the boil over hurdles last year before an inauspicious start over fences at Sligo. Something to prove back hurdling following 10 months off. RESERVE.	4/0900-P	Reserve 3 N Lee	6	68.9kg	51 50/1 Paddy… 15 Sky B… 15 Betfa… 13
