Ballygowan Maiden Hurdle

Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
3rd	1	—	Angelo Dundee (G) Winning bumper debut in April 2023 but lightly raced since. Interesting if belatedly building on that early promise now starting out over hurdles for new yard after 11 months off.	14423/3	Mike O'Connor H De Bromhead	7	75.3kg	5 4/1
—	2	—	Ehteyat (G) Pulled Up Fairly useful Flat stayer matched that level when placed in maiden hurdles 3 times across the winter. Found it a struggle in competitive Aintree handicap 3 weeks ago and this is easier.	322330-	Tom Kelly M K Flannery	7	75.3kg	7 6/1
10th	3	—	Loyal Touch (G) T Fair Flat winner. Recent efforts in that sphere no more than respectable and a watching brief is advised now hurdling.	544606	Gavin Brouder D Hogan	6	75.3kg	101 100/1
6th	4	—	O'Reilly (G) T Fairly useful winner on the Flat. Placed in 3 maiden hurdles before finishing well held here when last seen in November (bad mistake 3 out, looked none too keen). Tongue tie goes on.	9/3320-	John Shinnick Peter Fahey	8	75.3kg	29 28/1
—	5	—	Persian Bliss (G) Pulled Up T Useful on the Flat for Adrian Murray in 2025 but nowhere near that level in 2 Flat outings at Dundalk for Denis Hogan, with latest second coming in a claimer. Makes hurdle debut.	1128-72	Ricky Doyle D Hogan	5	75.3kg	81 80/1
4th	6	—	Small Fry (G) Developed into a useful handicapper on the Flat. Only modest form in 2 hurdles for previous yard at the end of 2024 but should be capable of better in this sphere at some point.	31199-6	Hugh Horgan J P O'Brien	5	75.3kg	4.50 7/2
13th	7	—	Sneddy Eddie (G) H Modest Flat winner. Little impact in 3 runs over hurdles at the end of 2025 and returns for new yard.	00-0554	Paddy Cleary D Broad	6	75.3kg	251 250/1
5th	8	—	Theflyingking (G) FAV Point/bumper winner who was unlucky not to make a successful hurdles debut in maiden here in October (in control when fell last). Again managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in Navan Grad…	1221/F2-	Kevin Healy G Elliott	6	75.3kg	1.73 8/11
—	9	—	Oriole (M) Fairly useful Flat winner (in a lull when last seen in that sphere in the autumn).	—	Thomas O'Connor M Fahey	7	72.1kg	26 25/1
16th	10	—	Victoria Kesia (M) Fair Flat winner. Effort flattened out on hurdles debut at Thurles (2m) and faced a stiff task next time. Stamina remains a concern.	P-08308	Adam Leahy J J Hanlon	5	72.1kg	201 200/1
14th	11	—	Certamen (G) Stepped up from hurdling debut while again finishing well held at Limerick 6 months ago. One for handicaps.	40/56-0	Kieren Buckley E Buckley	5	71.7kg	67 66/1
—	12	—	Clone Cross (G) Fell Maiden pointer and little impact in 2 hurdles in recent weeks.	P2P3F2	Eoin Walsh S Cavanagh	5	71.7kg	251 250/1
11th	13	—	Glendaars Secret (G) Valirann gelding. Half-brother to 4.5f-6f winner in Scandinavia Archers Ignite.	060	P J O'Hanlon D A McLoughlin	5	71.7kg	201 200/1
8th	14	—	King Of The Greys (G) In the frame sole outing in points. Well held in 2 maiden hurdles last month.	408-8P	Ben Kennedy Peter Fahey	5	71.7kg	201 200/1
1st	15	—	Berto Ramirez (G) Fair Flat maiden out of his depth in the Triumph Hurdle but place claims on his previous form.	740-143	Aidan Kelly A McNamara	4	68.9kg	26 25/1
2nd	16	—	Astelia (M) Fair maiden on the Flat and ran to a similar level when runner-up in maidens on first 4 starts over hurdles (latest over C&D). Given a break since struggling at Cheltenham in November and place claim…	270-222	Ethan O'Sullivan Peter Fahey	7	68.5kg	13 12/1
15th	17	—	Cinnabar Moth (M) Little impact in bumpers and was held back by her jumping sent hurdling after 11 months off at Tramore.	98-0556	Philip Donovan Liz Doyle	5	68.5kg	201 200/1
9th	18	—	Hathaways Cottage (M) T Multiple point winner showed first form under Rules in hunter chase here in March and some promise on last month's hurdling debut.	PP4P5/9	Ben Harvey D M Christie	8	68.5kg	101 100/1
