Saunton Surf
SAUNTON SURF was denied only late on making her chasing debut at this course last month and she can gain compensation this time around. She is taken to see off the challenge of Tropical Image, who left her first effort over fences behind when runner-up at Listowel 12 days ago, with Coppola also considered.

Maiden over hurdles but this point winner went close on chasing debut when second of 14 in maiden here (19f) 22 days ago.

Runner-up on completed start in points and, with cheekpieces applied up in trip, improved over hurdles when third of 16 in handicap at Kilbeggan (25f) in April. Not in the same form over 19f at the same course 13 days ago but return to further should suit as he goes chasing.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKilbeggan2m 3f 20yGood to Yielding (Good in places)Hurdle9/14Kilbeggan3m 154yGood to Yielding (Good in places)Hurdle3/16Clonmel2m 2f 188ySoft (Soft to Heavy in places)Hurdle11/16Naas2mYielding (Yielding to Soft in places)Hurdle14/25Naas2m 3fSoft to HeavyHurdle14/20- 2Coolboy ChristyJ: R.

Fair hurdler who offered something to work on sent chasing when eighth of 14 in maiden at this course (19f) 22 days ago, making late headway. This longer trip promises to suit so there could be better still to come.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosDownpatrick2m 3f 100yGood to YieldingChase8/14Cork2m 3f 50yGood (Good to Yielding in places)Hurdle4/15Downpatrick2m 1f 165yYielding to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle5/10Leopardstown2m 2f 72ySoft to HeavyHurdle4/18Fairyhouse2mSoftHurdle6/16- 7CoppolaJ: K.

Much improved when runner-up in handicap hurdles on first 3 starts for current yard, including over 2¾m at this course in March. Ran poorly in first-time cheekpieces (now discarded) at Kilbeggan last time, but no surprise to see her bounce back sent chasing.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKilbeggan3m 154yGood to Yielding (Good in places)Hurdlepu/16Down Royal3mGood (Good to Yielding in places)Hurdle2/19Downpatrick2m 5f 185yYielding to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle2/14Down Royal2m 4f 86yGood to Yielding (Yielding in places)Hurdle2/14Naas2m 2f 200yYielding (Yielding to Soft in places)Hurdle8/11- 5SchiehallionJ: A.

Long-standing maiden over hurdles and form was mixed last season, ending the campaign with a good second in 15-runner handicap at Bellewstown in April but was pulled up at Punchestown last time.

Course winner (2¾m) who doubled his tally when making all in handicap at Down Royal (2½m) in April. However, was below form both starts last month, down the field at Kilbeggan 13 days ago.

Opened account over hurdles in a 2¾m Listowel handicap in September. Ran to a similar level on second start over fences when runner-up in 6-runner maiden at the same course (19f) 12 days ago and she merits consideration back up in trip.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosListowel2m 3fYieldingChase2/6Killarney2m 4f 100yGood to YieldingChase6/14Limerick2m 3fSoft to HeavyHurdle7/13Limerick3m 100yHeavy (Soft in places)Hurdlepu/12Sligo2m 4f 11yGood to Yielding (Yielding in places)Hurdle6/11- 6Welcome BackWithdrawnJ: C.

Shaped well over hurdles on debut but, after winning a point next time, fell in a hunter chase at Thurles in March 2025 for Gordon Elliott. Has had only 4 races over hurdles since, well-beaten sixth of 15 in maiden at Clonmel (17f) 8 days ago. Back up in trip for only second chase start.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosClonmel2m 113yGood (Good to Yielding in places)Hurdle6/15Clonmel2m 3f 116yGood to YieldingHurdle11/17Downpatrick2m 2f 185yGoodHurdle9/15Sligo2m 4fGoodHurdleur/12Thurles3m 1f 22yGood to Yielding (Yielding in places)ChaseF/11- 3HuntsgroveWithdrawnJ: J.

Fair hurdles winner over 2½m but little impact in 4 starts over fences so far, though did have excuses (badly hampered first) when pulled up in maiden at Tramore 15 days ago.
