Adare Manor Opportunity Maiden Hurdle

William Slattery
Modest winner at 1½m on the Flat in France. Has made a positive start over hurdles for current yard and would have finished a bit closer barring a mistake when 9 lengths third in a course maiden (17f) latest. This looks a stronger race, though.

N Stenhouse & P Farrell
€45,000 3-y-o by Wings Of Eagles. Half-brother to dual bumper winner/smart 2m hurdle winner Dark Raven. Successful sole start in point. Improved from Rules debut when third in a Downpatrick bumper in late-May. Others have stronger bumper form but going the right way ahead of hurdling bow. RESERVE.

The Why Knot Partnership
Picked up for €260,000 following Grade 3 bumper win on debut in France in 2024. Encouraging start over hurdles after 20 months off when third of 12 in maiden at Killarney (2½m) in May. Some mitigation for his subsequent flop at Punchestown and looks worth another chance following 10-week break.

M T O'Donovan
Runner-up in an eventful Clonmel novice hurdle before going one better in straightforward fashion in a Kilbeggan bumper later in June. Unexposed back hurdling but does have a fair bit to find with the form principals.

Donal Commins
Well-held fourth in much stronger race at Ballinrobe in May. Confirmed that improvement when ½-length second on handicap debut there (17f) last time. Interesting returning to an ordinary maiden with more severe headgear fitted.

Hasn't offered much in a couple of bumpers either side of a considerate hurdling debut. Handicaps over further may prove more his bag.
