Ladbrokes Handicap Hurdle (0-100) (Div 2)

Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
6th	1	—	Journey So Far (G) H Has shaped with promise in both maiden hurdles and chases but failed to improve for switch to handicaps in either sphere. Stamina to prove upped markedly in trip back over hurdles.	F078-61	Keith Donoghue G P Cromwell	6	75.3kg	8 7/1
7th	2	—	Coffeys Forge (G) Cheap purchase out of the Gordon Elliott yard who has proved inconsistent, running no sort of race at Limerick in February and brought down early in first-time tongue strap at Tramore last time.	79/25PB-	Sean O'Keeffe S Aherne	10	73.9kg	15 14/1
—	3	—	Mickey Hulie (G) At least respectable efforts when second at Naas and third at Limerick in March. Never landed a blow in first-time cheekpieces upped to this last time but claims if able to repeat his earlier efforts.	90237-1	Cian Quirke D H Kelly	6	73kg	9 8/1
15th	4	—	The Cheeky Pup (G) Offered very little in maiden/novice hurdles and will need to improve out of all recognition to make an impact now tackling a handicap.	008/0	Philip Byrnes J J Hanlon	5	72.1kg	51 50/1
5th	5	—	Lissen To The Lady (M) Likely needed both her runs for new stable last month (having been off for over 2 years prior to that), and while she's fallen to a handy mark, she's far from certain to capitalise at 12 years old.	65169/5	Miss J Walton Patrick Cronin	12	71.2kg	29 28/1
4th	6	—	Orlando Spirit (G) Created a good impression when placed first 2 starts in handicaps, shaping well from a less-than-ideal position when third of 22 at Cork in March. Below form last time and has stamina to prove now up…	50/0238-	Michael Kenneally Paul Power	6	70.8kg	8.50 15/2
—	7	—	Annie Button (M) P Got back on track in first-time cheekpieces when winning 3m handicap hurdle at Cork 3 days ago by head from Only For Our Man. Has a good chance of following up if coping with the quick turnaround. Bo…	90P26/1	Jack Kennedy P Flood	6	70.3kg	5 4/1
—	8	—	Written In My Soul (M) Pulled Up Modest maiden hurdler who returns to this sphere after making very little impact in a couple of starts over fences.	65P-PP6	Eoghan Finegan E D Delany	6	70.3kg	26 25/1
1st	9	—	Oogum Boogum (G) P Shaped encouragingly when third of 16 in a Wexford handicap on chasing debut but was let down by jumping in that sphere last time. Switches back to hurdling and more than capable of being involved if…	P-13238	Carl Millar D Budds	8	69.9kg	11 10/1
8th	10	—	Walking In Mayo (M) FAV Turned in best effort when sixth of 15 in handicap hurdle at this course (23.9f, heavy, 10/1) in December and shaped better than being well held suggests on stable debut following month. Yard is flyi…	0068-84	Darragh O'Keeffe R O'Sullivan	6	69.4kg	4.50 7/2
3rd	11	—	Spellacy's Cross (G) Won a couple of handicap chases under this rider at Clonmel in October and looked to be taking a step back in the right direction when falling heavily at the last in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel last…	556F/34	Donagh Meyler J Barcoe	7	68.9kg	5.50 9/2
11th	12	—	Urbs Intacta Manet (G) P Has shown little in maiden and handicaps hurdles to date. Must improve for the addition of cheekpieces.	00P06-0	Jordan Canavan J P Flavin	5	68.9kg	34 33/1
9th	13	—	True Harmony (G) Point winner who has been well held on all 4 starts in maiden hurdles but may do better now upped to 3m on handicap debut. Any market support should be noted.	08-9266	Philip Donovan S Neville	6	68.5kg	10 9/1
2nd	14	—	Ballinaboola Gold (M) Poor form, including when well held in handicaps last 3 starts.	08-2579	Danny Mullins R Donohoe	5	67.6kg	15 14/1
14th	15	—	Johnny M (G) T Placed twice in maidens for John McConnell earlier in career but offered little in trio of handicaps for Peter Fahey. Upped markedly in trip and in first-time tongue strap starting out for new connec…	070/00P	Calum Hogan E McNamara	8	67.6kg	21 20/1
10th	16	—	Clandara (G) T Poor maiden handicapper who shaped as if needing the run on return from 17 months off at Wexford in October. Hard to fancy.	090609/	Conor Stone-Walsh Liz Doyle	8	67.1kg	23 22/1
—	17	—	Queen Kulina (M) Fell P Best recent effort when 1¼ lengths fourth of 16 to Grace Faraday in handicap hurdle at Galway (24f, good to soft) in October. Disappointed in first-time cheekpieces when last seen but return to less …	48-F834	Ricky Doyle E Griffin	10	67.1kg	12 11/1
—	18	—	Max Time (G) Pulled Up T Just the one win from 33 appearances and that was gained back in September 2024. Well below form last season. Opposable.	60-PP04	Paddy Cleary I Madden	9	64.4kg	34 33/1
13th	19	—	Rideau Canal (G) TP Handicap chase winner at Thurles in February but this 11-y-o doesn't boast the most compelling of profiles and was pulled up in similar event at Limerick (23f, heavy) last time.	951P-0P	Miss G Benson Mrs D Foster	11	64.4kg	11 10/1
12th	20	—	Thatsmyroadie (G) H Showed little at long odds in maidens and struggling a long way on handicap debut last month. RESERVE.	000P-00	P J O'Hanlon D A McLoughlin	6	68kg	51 50/1
