0-18 on Flat but promising introduction to hurdling at Clonmel when staying on well to take the runner-up spot despite suffering interference (2m4f, good to yielding) and the winner easily followed up next time; unseated at the second when saddle slipped at Kilbeggan; worth another chance, although trip is an unknown.

Ballinrobe bumper winner for Emmet Mullins and top-rated of these; best of four hurdle runs came on penultimate at Killarney last month when an 11l fourth but didn't build on that back at scene of his win when making some jumping errors; can't be dismissed.

Placed in both points and runner-up over hurdles in his last two starts; finished clear of the remainder at Tramore and shaped as though this trip could get more from him when keeping on over 2m3f at Downpatrick last time; ground suits; big player.

SR 83 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Le Questionnaire
Confidence: Medium

Le Questionnaire (SR 83) is the top-rated runner in the field by a meaningful margin over Will Wilde (SR 84 — marginal) and Jerry From Kerry (SR 79), and crucially carries the same 11-12 as all but Talladega, so no weight disadvantage to offset that rating edge. The Gordon Elliott yard brings a professional operation to what is a modest provincial maiden, and the form string 3202-2 shows consistent completion and placed efforts — a horse that runs to its level every time on good ground. The last-run '2' confirms current engagement and fitness, while rivals are either showing non-completions, low SRs, or erratic form sequences. Each-way Will Wilde at SR 84, who is fractionally higher-rated but whose form string 82P6/P — featuring a pulled-up last time — undermines confidence in reliable completion over 2m7f. Each-way alternative: Will Wilde. Main danger: Captain Hanley — Captain Hanley (SR 77) has a recent '2U' form line suggesting a placed run followed by an unseating — he clearly has ability at this level and, if jumping is tidied up, could be dangerous in a weak maiden.
