Joe Walsh Flooring Handicap Hurdle

Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
8th	1	—	Bhean Saibhre (M) T Strong-travelling sort. Probably still a shade too high in the weights but clearly didn't give her running at Ballinrobe in late-May.	2U1-4P8	Peter Smithers A A Howard	5	75.3kg	21 20/1
5th	2	—	Cocovic (G) H Lightly-raced 6-y-o who finished runner-up 3 times in maidens last year. Shaped encouragingly when third over C&D (soft) on handicap debut/reappearance, and he's entitled to make a bold bid returned …	82229-3	Patrick M O'Brien E McNamara	6	75.3kg	3.50 5/2
10th	3	—	Desert Cave (G) P Failed to revive for Ian Patrick Donoghue and it's hard to be confident on first run for new yard.	565-007	Brian Hayes G Ahern	8	74.8kg	81 80/1
1st	4	—	Global Skies (G) FAV H Fairly useful on Flat (stays 1¼m). Could end up a similar standard over hurdles judging by his convincing win at Clonmel (19f) last time, and a 9 lb rise probably won't be enough to prevent a follow …	078-211	Danny Gilligan R O'Sullivan	5	73.9kg	3 2/1
—	5	—	Qaasid (G) Pulled Up P Justifiably awarded 15-runner C&D handicap (soft) in May. Probably found race coming too soon at Punchestown subsequently, though will likely find life tougher from his revised mark, regardless.	820S-10	Paddy Hanlon J J Hanlon	8	73.9kg	21 20/1
7th	6	—	The First Turn (G) Beat a now-useful sort in a bumper at Thurles on debut last October. Little impact 3 starts over hurdles, but he does at least return to a more suitable trip on handicap debut.	177P-4	Phillip Enright S Curling	5	73.9kg	11 10/1
9th	7	—	General Clermont (G) Went close off lower hurdles mark at Killarney last summer. Best not judged on his latest start over fences, and he's weighted to go close now reverted to hurdling.	26-4P90	Darragh O'Keeffe D E Fitzgerald	10	73.5kg	11 10/1
—	8	—	Mickey Cohen (G) Versatile type who justified support when making a winning chasing debut at Downpatrick last September. Beaten only by a well-handicapped one over hurdles at Tipperary (23f, soft) the following month…	34312-4	Mr Finn Tegetmeier N Meade	5	72.6kg	5 4/1 Paddy… 7.50 Betfa… 7 Sky B… 7
6th	9	—	Warm In Gorey (G) B Tactically-versatile sort. Confirmed return to form with third in handicap at Downpatrick latest, and he looks potentially well treated on his best form from last summer.	PPP-336	Simon Torrens P J Rothwell	8	72.1kg	21 20/1
—	10	—	The Vegas Raider (G) Unseated Rider VT Tends to save his best for Ballinrobe, Below form at Cork on latest start in April last year, however, he goes well fresh and has good-value claimer aboard for return so any market support would be s…	60920/U	Michael Kenneally K A Heffernan	8	71.2kg	29 28/1
—	11	—	Moonlight Paradise (M) Pulled Up Successful sole start in points. Finished closer than previously under Rules when fourth in a Wexford maiden on return. Opening mark demands improvement, but that's entirely possible given her profil…	750-4P5	Alan O'Sullivan P Nolan	5	70.8kg	12 11/1
3rd	12	—	Pure Logic (M) P Maiden who got back on track when fifth at Downpatrick (2¼m). Needs step up in trip/switch to handicap company to bring about a chunk of improvement.	76536P	Josh Williamson J J Hanlon	6	69.9kg	26 25/1
—	13	—	Committee Meeting (G) Pulled Up B Showed ability at the start of his career but has gone the wrong way.	6PU/80-P	Dylan Robinson P J Rothwell	7	69.4kg	26 25/1
2nd	14	—	Friar Hogan (G) T Lightly-raced 5-y-o. Booked for a place (at worst) when carried out over C&D in late-May and in the mix if he can build on that back under less testing conditions.	060-0C2	Sean O'Keeffe D Hassett	5	68kg	11 10/1
4th	15	—	Cullenwaine (G) B Underlined his inconsistency over fences at Tramore last time, and he faces a stiff task from out of the weights on return to hurdling.	502-254	Shane O'Callaghan David O'Sullivan	8	63.5kg	17 16/1
