Clonmel

Today, February 27, 2025Hurdle2mHeavy

LIGHTKEEPER hasn't kicked on from a promising start over fences in recent months, yet a return to hurdling/drop in grade can see Gordon Elliott's 7-y-o in a better light and he shades the vote to come out on top with the blinkers retained. Ellaat didn't shape at all badly following a layoff when third behind re-opposing Robinstown at Limerick 4 weeks ago, and that pair head up the dangers.

    Veteran who returned to form to land Limerick claiming hurdle (21f) for second successive year 30 days ago, soon well clear and in command last. A repeat here gives him definite claims again.

    Verdict
    Fairly useful at his best in this sphere and shaped as if retaining ability after 12 months off when third of 11 to Robinstown in claiming hurdle at Limerick (21f, heavy, 4/1) 30 days ago, doing best of those from off the pace. Fancied to be much closer to that rival with that under his belt.

    Fairly useful hurdler. 14/1 and blinkered for 1st time, respectable seventh of 13 in novice chase at this course (20.3f, soft) 14 days ago. Return to this sphere could well help him now.

    Verdict
    Fair hurdles winner earlier in career. Disappointing on 2 of his 3 starts since returning from a lengthy absence, ninth of 11 in novice chase at Fairyhouse (16.3f, soft) 42 days ago. Returns to hurdling now for new yard but there have been signs of temperament creeping in.

    Verdict
    Fairly useful hurdler. C&D winner who was holding form well on the Flat before a lesser effort when eleventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at Navan (16.2f, good to soft) in November. Still, he's no forlorn hope back from a break/down in class.

    Malinas gelding. Half-brother to modest hurdler Blondes No More, stayed 2½m. Dam dual bumper winner. Betting can provide a useful guide on debut.
