1.20 Leopardstown
Our Conor: Smart flat horse (rated 84) who has been
impressive over hurdles with two easy wins so far, notably when showing
impressive turn of foot in Grade 3 event at Fairyhouse on Hattons’s Grace weekend;
Looks to have more to give still and form horse to beat here even under 3lbs
penalty.
Blood Cotil: Showed promise in France (two starts on flat
and two over jumps) despite very headstrong tendencies, which were restrained
in Ireland before his deeply impressive maiden hurdle win; That only an
ordinary event but looked like a class act and can go well here.
Crouching Harty: Improved since starting over hurdles, gaining
first win at fifth attempt in Clonmel maiden hurdle on heavy, but easily
thrashed by Our Conor the time before that and others make far more appeal.
Fisher: Rated 67 in England on flat and now two from three over
hurdles so far this season, but beat very poor opposition on both those
occasions and one conqueror (McVicar) was well beaten at Kempton; Much more
needed.
South South West: Good attitude when strong in the finish
last time out (second hurdles win) and lot of ground to make up on Our Conor
(12 lengths) from Fairyhouse meeting; Others make more appeal.
Stocktons Wing: Used hurdling debut as springboard to comfortable
win on second start but outclassed by Our Conor in their meeting at Fairyhouse
last time to an extent which suggests that form won’t be reversed on 3lbs
better terms.
Money Spider: Made steady headway despite consistently poor
jumping at Thurles and experience used from that probably allowed her to win
poor Punchestown contest so easily last time; This much harder and form been
let dow so others make more appeal.
One Fine Day: Best of these on flat ratings (rated 90) when
she won twice from eight starts but regressed soon after second of those wins
and this a tough debut to make over hurdles.

VERDICT: A very interesting matchup (according to betting at
least) between Our Conor and BLOOD COTIL, who gets the vote receiving 3lbs from
what’s meant to be his main rival upon the basis of his impressive debut win in
Ireland.
