Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden Hurdle

Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
1st	1	—	Dani Donadoni (G) FAV Bumper winner who was a creditable second of 15 in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown (19.5f, heavy) 35 days ago. Strong claims.	521U-22	Paul Townend W P Mullins	6	75.3kg	1.40 2/5
2nd	2	—	Doctor Elvis (G) Has made the frame all 3 starts in this sphere, most recently finishing a good second of 14 in a maiden at Naas (19f, heavy) 14 days ago. Likely to be in the thick of things.	4220-2P	Jack Kennedy G Elliott	7	75.3kg	4.20 16/5
3rd	3	—	Freddie's Back (G) T Winning pointer who was said to have bled when ninth of 11 in a maiden hurdle here on Rules debut in December 2024. Shaped pretty well when fourth back here on return 12 months later fitted with tong…	19/43-	Sean Flanagan E McNamara	7	75.3kg	10 9/1
4th	4	—	Jack The Lad (G) Wide-margin winner of sole start between the flags (subsequently sold for £120,000) and placed both starts in bumpers last season. Looked in need of the run on return/handicap bow at Navan (2¾m, heav…	133-4	J J Slevin T Gibney	6	75.3kg	7 6/1
5th	5	—	Lord De Choisel (G) Big price and failed to land a blow on debut in a Leopardstown maiden hurdle earlier this month.	857-	Paddy Cody E Doyle	5	75.3kg	201 200/1
6th	6	—	Orchard Cross (G) HT €45,000 purchase out of an unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 2½m) Duhallow Gesture. Wears tongue strap on debut and the market should be revealing.	6	Phillip Enright R Tyner	6	75.3kg	34 33/1
—	7	—	Poet's Gale (G) Related to above-average jumpers but hasn't cut much ice thus far and he's probably more one for handicaps in due course. Engaged 1.55 Navan Saturday.	8076F0	Non Runner A J Martin	5	75.3kg	51 50/1
7th	8	—	Theran (G) Safely held in a bumper on debut during the autumn and it's hard to draw any positives from his first run over hurdles at Gowran recently.	40	Jordan Gainford P M J Doyle	5	75.3kg	151 150/1
—	9	—	Jenny's Bar (M) Pulled Up Well held on recent introduction at Gowran and yard saddles a more appealing candidate in Jack The Lad.	5P/	James Smith T Gibney	6	72.1kg	251 250/1
