Dunmore East Maiden Hurdle

Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
7th	1	—	Ripsnorter (G) Fairly useful bumper winner for A. Slattery who ran below that level on stable/hurdle debut at Listowel last September. Should be capable of better, though, for all he's been off for 8 months.	3/310-76	Philip Donovan W J Lanigan	5	75.3kg	29 28/1
13th	2	—	Slowdownbarney (G) T Fair stayer on the Flat for John McConnell (well held sole hurdle start back in 2024) who has changed hands for only £2,000 and is unlikely to make an impact back hurdling for new connections.	8/080	P J O'Hanlon D A McLoughlin	5	75.3kg	67 66/1
10th	3	—	Alaskan View (M) Fair bumper winner here last summer but she struggled in a better race on different ground at Limerick (soft) in October and will need to improve to make a winning start over hurdles.	50216/0	Conor Stone-Walsh W J Martin	6	72.1kg	34 33/1
—	3	—	Speed For Fun (G)	F	— W P Mullins	5	75.3kg	—
14th	4	—	Hastily (M) Has no form over hurdles and only beat a sole rival in 2 starts on the Flat this month.	09-0009	Dylan Robinson Tom McGuinness	7	72.1kg	301 300/1
—	4	—	The First Turn (G)	177P-4	— S Curling	5	75.3kg	—
8th	5	—	Victoria Kesia (M) Fair Flat winner has gone backwards since her hurdling debut, again failing to convince with her stamina on return at Down Royal last time, and is likely bound for handicaps, regardless.	P-08308	Danny Gilligan J J Hanlon	5	72.1kg	251 250/1
15th	6	—	Acheron (G) Little promise in 2 starts over hurdles and is of no interest this side of handicaps.	U-002	Ryan Treacy J J Hanlon	5	71.7kg	201 200/1
4th	7	—	Cocofred (G) Well held in a bumper on debut and looked one for the longer term when (100/1) seventh of 20 on hurdles bow at Naas in early-March. Still worth a market check given who trains him, though.	57-4	Mike O'Connor H De Bromhead	5	71.7kg	15 14/1
2nd	8	—	Drombane (G) T Finished runner-up in a first-time tongue strap on hurdle debut at Clonmel but did plenty wrong when fourth of 10 in a maiden here (2½m). However, the drop back in trip may help and he remains with p…	5024-2	Sean O'Keeffe W P Mullins	6	71.7kg	8 7/1
1st	9	—	Le Roi Du Livet (G) FAV Solid third in Naas maiden in January and having bounced back to form when a smooth-travelling second behind a better-placed winner at Cork, he has excellent claims to get off the mark.	40347/2	Brian Hayes P Fenton	5	71.7kg	2.88 15/8
—	9	—	Allroadsleadtorome (G)	5-579	— J C McConnell	5	71.7kg	—
12th	10	—	Secret Order (G) Unpromising in points and always behind on completed start over hurdles in March.	U5P9U/0	Tiernan Power Roche D P Murphy	5	71.7kg	201 200/1
—	10	—	Bells Grove (G)	3238-3	— E Buckley	5	71.7kg	—
3rd	11	—	Seven Towers (G) FAV Walk In The Park gelding (half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Glimpse of Gold) who has to run to a fair level when placing on 3 of his 4 starts in bumpers. He's in good hands and could do better no…	363-339	Keith Donoghue G P Cromwell	5	71.7kg	2.88 15/8
—	11	—	Captain Hanley (G)	2U26	— E O'Connell	6	71.7kg	—
9th	12	—	Woodie Campelltown (G) Maiden pointer has achieved little in 3 starts under Rules.	2P/080-9	Alex Harvey Rosemary Connors	6	71.7kg	201 200/1
11th	13	—	Princedici (G) Let down by his jumping on debut (28/1) at Punchestown (already beginning to weaken when falling 3 out) and it's easy to look elsewhere.	F	Conor Smithers A Kinirons	4	68.9kg	101 100/1
6th	14	—	Karma D'airy (M) Runner-up on second of 2 starts for Hugo Merienne in 2024, and although failing to meet expectations when third of 13 at Clonmel on stable debut last January, she remains with potential despite a len…	523/	Sean Flanagan W P Mullins	6	68.5kg	4.33 10/3
5th	15	—	Western Shores (M) Feel Like Dancing mare. Dam unraced sister to very smart hurdler/top-class chaser (stays 3m) Outlander and useful hurdler/smart chaser (21f-3m winner) Now McGinty. Makes appeal on pedigree for a top …	556	Sam Ewing G Elliott	5	68.5kg	26 25/1
—	15	—	Ellis Brittle (G)	—	— J P Flavin	5	71.7kg	—
—	16	—	Quest With Copper (G) Quest For Peace gelding. Dam modest maiden hurdler (stayed 2¼m). Doesn't look a likely type on paper. RESERVE	0	Reserve 1 J J Hanlon	5	71.7kg	51 50/1 Paddy… 151 Sky B… 151 Betfa… 126
—	17	—	Teffian Warrior (G) PT Maiden who has fair form over 7f-9f on the Flat but has to prove his stamina for hurdling. RESERVE	—	Reserve 2 Ciaran Murphy	4	68.9kg	26 25/1 Paddy… 21 Betfa… 21 Sky B… 21
—	18	—	China Grill (G) Merely hinted at ability second time up over hurdles, finishing tenth of 17 in a novice (150/1) at Clonmel. RESERVE	0-000	Reserve 3 Miss E McCutcheon	5	71.7kg	101 100/1 Betfa… 201 Paddy… 201 Sky B… 201
