Ladbrokes Maiden Hurdle

Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
—	1	—	Captains Speech (G) Point winner who has made a bright start over hurdles, again finding only one too good at Wexford, the winner's extra experience probably crucial. Step up to 3m will suit and sets a good standard.	1/22-	Darragh O'Keeffe H De Bromhead	6	75.3kg	1.91 10/11
1st	2	—	Lemmy Caution (G) FAV £250,000 point winner who hasn't progressed in bumpers, going in snatches when a well-beaten sixth at Cork (19f) 5 weeks ago. Could do better now hurdling.	336-132	Sam Ewing G Elliott	5	75.3kg	2.75 7/4
—	3	—	Nopresentliketime (G) Hails from a family his yard have had success with and ran his best race over hurdles when fourth at Cork (23f) 5 weeks ago. Can do even better.	52/54-	Sam Ewing G Elliott	6	75.3kg	13 12/1
4th	4	—	Papagei (G) Fairly useful handicapper on Flat. Just modest form in completed starts over hurdles and will have more chance in handicaps in due course.	825990-	James Smith T Gibney	5	75.3kg	6.50 11/2
—	5	—	Plastic Paddy (G) Pulled Up Regressive Flat winner who has plenty on his plate for hurdles debut.	PPP	Cian Cullinan Tom McGuinness	8	75.3kg	251 250/1
5th	6	—	Quest For Answers (G) Fetched £170,000 after easily winning a point (Nov 2025). Worth a look on hurdles debut.	1/	Mike O'Connor M F Morris	5	75.3kg	7.50 13/2
—	7	—	That's It Paddy (G) NON RUNNER.	4P-6	P J O'Hanlon Ian Donoghue	5	75.3kg	51 50/1
2nd	8	—	The Rebel Fox (G) H Placed in points and given a considerate introduction when fifth in 19f novice hurdle at Naas in March. Longer trip will suit and sure to progress.	3/22225-	Keith Donoghue R O'Sullivan	6	75.3kg	4.50 7/2
—	9	—	Union Boy (G) Workforce gelding. Dam fair 21f hurdle winner.	0	Cian Quirke M O Quigley	6	75.3kg	34 33/1
3rd	10	—	Vienna Storm (G) T Mahler gelding. Dam, modest 21f hurdle winner, half-sister to useful hurdle winner/high-class chaser (stayed 3m) Chris's Dream. Took keen hold and finished well held behind impressive stablemate in N…	5-	Paul Townend W P Mullins	5	75.3kg	5 4/1
—	11	—	Will Wilde (G) Pulled Up PT Bumper winner who returned to form when sixth in hot 3m Leopardstown handicap hurdle in December 2024. Not seen since, but clearly has races like this in him if all is well. Cheekpieces go on.	082P6/P	Sean Flanagan Liz Doyle	7	75.3kg	9.50 17/2
