Davy Crockett

Jockey: M P Walsh Trainer: W P Mullins Age/Wt: 4/11-0 F: 1

1/2

Comment: Well-bred Camelot gelding out of the brilliant racemare Annie Power; justified strong market support on debut in a Punchestown bumper (16.5f, gd-yld); his lack of jumping experience is a slight concern but he should take to hurdles given his pedigree (half-brother Mystical Power won this in 2023); should go well for top yard.

4/1

Comment: Dual-purpose sort is 1-4 over hurdles and rated 123; won a Punchestown maiden last month (16.5f, gd-yld) and had Chortal 10l behind when runner up at Bellewstown (2m1f, good) last time out despite not jumping fluently; can go well, especially if jumping better.

13/2

Comment: Useful dual-purpose sort; highly tried to no avail last two starts after an easy Limerick maiden hurdle win (2m1f, good) but soft to heavy and yielding ground probably not ideal; could go well returned to a sounder surface after 86 days off.

Jockey: D E Mullins Trainer: Ms Margaret Mullins Age/Wt: 4/11-0 F: 1

11/1

Comment: Walk In The Park filly fell in her sole point-to-point; belied odds of 66-1 to win on debut at Ballinrobe by 1.75l (Chortal 5.75l back in third); this is a tougher race but she is totally unexposed so she can't be dismissed on just her second hurdles start.

Comment: Landed an ordinary Bellewstown maiden hurdle in April but limitations seemingly exposed since in novice hurdles at Ballinrobe and back at Bellewstown (over 5l behind A Snow White Park in the first of them); rated 115 and yard has a better chance with Eternal Echo.

Comment: Godolphin cast off left previous hurdling form behind when landing a Cork maiden in May (17.5f, good), earning a rating of 117; unseated on the Flat at Leopardstown on only start since; a bit to find on the figures but will like the ground and not dismissed.

Comment: Promising sort; won a four-runner Naas bumper on debut and placed in a listed race at Limerick on final start in that sphere in March; won nicely on hurdling debut in a Cork maiden (2m, soft); unraced on quicker than yielding but pedigree suggests he'll handle better ground; chance.

Comment: Wootton Bassett colt cost 400,000euros as a yearling; was only narrowly denied in a decent Newmarket maiden (7f, gd-fm) on debut; likely to improve for that initial experience and he's the one to beat.

22/1

Comment: Four-time winner in Poland and also a winner in Germany; placed in four 1m2f German Pattern races (including a Group 1) last year for Andreas Wohler but has failed to fire since joining this yard; probably capable of better at some stage; now down 15lb from his rating on arrival in Ireland.

Comment: Off the mark over hurdles at Ballinrobe in May on second start for this yard at Ballinrobe; useful five-time Flat winner for Andrew Balding; could make no impression when returning to Britain for the Copper Horse Handicap at Royal Ascot; no match for a Willie Mullins-trained favourite in a novice hurdle at Roscommon three weeks ago.

Comment: Two wins gained early in career in Germany came on softer ground; mainly hurdling (rated 98) in recent years, trip inadequate on Flat return in Irish Lincoln before respectable handicap hurdle third at Fairyhouse in April; third in a five-runner conditions last time; needs to raise his game.

Comment: First four runs on AW at Dundalk, notably maiden win in November; fine turf debut on last month's return when just outstayed by a stablemate over 1m in Limerick fillies' handicap; met trouble in running when fourth at Leopardstown, form boosted by the third Shelbiana in winning a 21-runner Curragh maiden; good chance here from a low draw.

Verdict: A competitive heat. Starford has gone up a total of 20lb for his two handicap wins on easy ground and should go well again if handling quicker conditions. Dylan Browne-McMonagle prefers Bear Creek of the Joseph O'Brien quartet and he should go well but a punt is taken on KILMEADEN. He disappointed on handicap debut last time but it is still early days. On the form of his 1.25l Ballinrobe second to Carmers, he is worth another chance. [Dave Stephens)

Comment: One of four for yard; minor promise in maidens but has won his first two handicaps at Gowran (9.5f, soft) and Roscommon (10.5f, yielding); has gone up a cumulative 20lb but could be more to come upped further in trip; claims if effective on good ground.
