Mahon Falls Novice Handicap Hurdle

Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
—	1	—	Ripsnorter (G) Pulled Up T Borderline fairly useful in bumpers. Settled better when leaving previous hurdling efforts well behind to score at Downpatrick in August. Clearly wasn't 100% at Gowran subsequently and could be worth…	0-76810	Danny Mullins W J Lanigan	5	75.3kg	21 20/1
3rd	2	—	Market Ready (G) Maiden who advanced his form when runner-up on handicap bow here (2m, soft) in April. Clear step back in the right direction when chasing home an odds-on favourite at Tramore in August. Definite clai…	423-4P2	Sean O'Keeffe S Aherne	5	73.9kg	6.50 11/2
—	3	—	Lauro's Legend (G) Pulled Up Form went the wrong way over hurdles last season and similar story on the Flat this summer (shaped as if amiss on latest start at Galway in July). Questions to answer back hurdling.	50/03PP-	Richard Condon P A Fahy	6	73kg	101 100/1
4th	4	—	Private Policy (G) FAV T Proved a different proposition this season, making it 2 wins in 3 starts when successful at this course (23f) following a 4-month break latest. Still relatively early days in handicaps, too, and look…	404-151	Paddy Cleary N Slevin	8	73kg	4.50 7/2
2nd	5	—	Beyond Forgiveness (G) HT Free-going sort who showed ability in maidens. Sent off at 22/1 and merely passed beaten horses when down the field on handicap bow at Punchestown (2m, good to soft) 9 days ago. Needs a market check …	P/6467	Danny Gilligan D H Kelly	5	72.6kg	19 18/1
—	6	—	Nirisque (M) Pulled Up T Second in fillies juvenile hurdle at Compiegne in April 2025 for N. George & A. Zetterholm. Best effort for current connections when runner-up in Tramore maiden in spring. Likely to be sharper for la…	2/02-65	Mike O'Connor H De Bromhead	5	72.6kg	23 22/1
9th	7	—	Silly Mongoose (G) T Off the mark in weak 2m maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan in June. Back on track reverted to front-running tactics more recently, only finding a stable-switcher too strong at Punchestown (2m, good to soft) …	510732	Alan O'Sullivan P T Foley	5	72.6kg	5 4/1
8th	8	—	Bobby Kirova (G) PT Travelled more sweetly in first-time cheekpieces when readily opening his account in 16-runner handicap hurdle at this course (2½m) last time. An 11 lb rise may prove harsh, though, considering that …	36631	Daniel King M Butler	4	72.1kg	8.50 15/2
6th	9	—	Blue Johnl (G) Maiden pointer who is bred to stay well. Confirmed previous improvement when 13 lengths third in maiden at Listowel (2m) last time. Will benefit from step back up in trip, though handicapper hasn't t…	R49823	J J Slevin J P Ryan	4	69.9kg	17 16/1
—	10	—	Mahler's Best (M) Pulled Up Unable to build on the promise of her stable debut when going off too hard on handicap bow at Wexford (2½m, good) in late-August. Can be given another chance, though will need to sharpen up her jumpi…	90/48	Simon Torrens P T Foley	6	68.9kg	26 25/1
5th	11	—	Chemdawg (M) BT Front runner who had the run of the race when doubling her tally at Kilbeggan last month. Paid the price for her early exertions (took keen hold) when pulled up at Listowel subsequently. Likely to fa…	21-251P	Phillip Enright O McKiernan	7	68kg	10 9/1
1st	12	—	Mother Ship (M) PT Belatedly got off the mark in 16-runner handicap hurdle at Navan (19f, good to soft) last month. Wasn't in the same form when mid-field in Gowran handicap (2½m) since. Should at least be suited by li…	072219	Harry Sexton J J Hanlon	6	66.7kg	11 10/1
7th	13	—	Soldier Saint (G) B Quirky maiden who has been prominent in the market both starts for present yard. Badly hampered when well-held sixth of 17 at Punchestown (2½m) latest. Type who could benefit from addition of blinker…	548646	Ben Kennedy P W Flynn	6	65.8kg	6.50 11/2
