1:30 Punchestown Going Heavy / Distance - 2m 0f

Pool Value: £26.35

This looks a gilt edged opportunity for WHIMSY to get off the mark. She sets a solid standard, she has handled heavy ground in the past and a repeat of her Galway or Cheltenham efforts should suffice. Adela Icon looks the main danger. The hurdling debutant Asisaid should handle the ground and the well-bred Adaliz is a potential improver. [Dave Stephens]

No.	Selection	Form		Guide	ToteWin	TotePlace
1	Asisaid D King / D Hogan	6yrs / 11st 12lb /- Spotlight		20/1
Asisaid Flat recruit; won twice at a modest level in that sphere; stamina a question on pedigree but he has run well on testing ground on the level so he is worth a market check on hurdles debut.
2	Morse R A Doyle / Charles Weld	5yrs / 11st 12lb 9 Spotlight	81	9/1
Morse 80 rated Flat performer whose sole win in that sphere came on heavy ground; 25-1 and didn't jump well on hurdles debut here last month (28l behind Come On The Lads); may need more experience.
3	Quantum Leap P Hanlon / Miss T L Cogan	6yrs / 11st 12lb /- Spotlight		12/1
Quantum Leap Useful form on the Flat for Ed Bethell including a 1m6f win off 82; hood goes on for his stable/hurdles debut; stays at least 2m on the level so this may not be a sufficient stamina test; probably best watched, especially on this ground.
4	Weston S W Flanagan / H Rogers	6yrs / 11st 12lb P000 Spotlight	78	66/1
Weston Two-time winner on the Flat in Germany in 2022; has lost form since a solid effort at Royal Ascot in 2023; no sign of a revival in three runs over hurdles; will qualify for handicaps after this (declared to run at Naas on Sunday).
5	Whimsy O R Brown / A Mccann	6yrs / 11st 5lb 22-233 Spotlight	124	6/5	1.40
Whimsy Flat winner is 0-9 over hurdles but has run well in defeat; went close at Galway in October and not beaten far in a class 2 maiden at Cheltenham in November; leading form claims and handles heavy ground.
6	Arnacoeur C G O'dwyer / C O'dwyer	7yrs / 11st 4lb 3640-0 Spotlight	110	33/1
Arnacoeur Rated 95 and showed promise in maiden hurdles at Kilbeggan and Ballinrobe for former yard; no impact in first two runs for Conor O'Dwyer over a year apart, including over C&D on heavy last month; can only be watched with the hood worn the last twice left off.
7	Klap J G Gilligan / P J Gilligan	5yrs / 11st 4lb PP Spotlight		80/1	24.20
Klap Pulled up in both starts in point-to-points; related to a couple of hurdles winners but he may need more time.
8	Nukie's Artic P T Enright / E Mccarthy	5yrs / 11st 4lb Spotlight		80/1
Nukie's Artic Third foal; dam placed point, half-sister to smart 2m7f hurdle/3m chase winner Captain CJ and bumper/2m3f hurdle winner Dainty Diva, out of 2m/2m3f hurdle winner; son of Arctic Cosmos may need further in time; best watched on debut.
9	Paul Collins Sam Ewing / G Elliott	5yrs / 11st 4lb 22-346 Spotlight	112	4/1
Paul Collins Placed in two point-to-points; best effort over hurdles on his racecourse debut at Wexford over 2m4f; hasn't backed that up since and was beaten 33l here on his latest start on similar ground to this, albeit he can't be fully discounted for top yard.
10	Sioux Eagle S D Torrens / P T Foley	6yrs / 11st 4lb /- Spotlight		17/2	4.20
Sioux Eagle Eight race maiden on the Flat and rated 73 in that sphere; stamina won't be an issue on hurdles bow but heavy ground is an unknown; probably best watched.
11	Adaliz Rachael Blackmore / H De Bromhead	5yrs / 10st 11lb 0 Spotlight	88	10/1	9.40
Adaliz Half-sister to the smart Adagio didn't jump with fluency on her debut on heavy ground here last month when well behind Paul Collins; yard in better form now and she should be capable of better; check the market.
12	Adela Icon B Hayes / W P Mullins	7yrs / 10st 11lb 0/22-0 Spotlight		10/3	6.40	1.10
Adela Icon Placed in successive bumpers at Ballinrobe and Sligo in 2023 for Harry Kelly; disappointed when 2-1 for a Cork bumper on her return from a long layoff last month, her first start for Willie Mullins; may have needed that, a hood goes on and she can't be discounted for top yard on hurdles debut.
13	I'm Flattered A P Kelly / P Roche	5yrs / 10st 11lb 0-8 Spotlight	111	80/1
I'm Flattered 0-3 on the Flat; promise on her hurdles debut at Thurles in December when beaten 13l into eighth of 18; outside place claims if she can build on that effort.
14	Mollys Dolly R P Treacy / D M O'brien	5yrs / 10st 11lb 690 Spotlight		50/1
Mollys Dolly Showed a bit of potential on debut in a Naas bumper but has struggled in two runs since, including on hurdles bow here last month; others make more appeal.
