Tim Kelly (C & G) Maiden Hurdle

First reserve; No Risk At All gelding was purchased for 65,000euros as a 3yo; dam placed in French 2m2f hurdle, half-sister to winners Kopek Des Bordes (high-class bumper and 2m-2m1f hurdle/chase), Utopie Des Bordes (useful 2m-3m hurdle/chase) and Darling Des Bordes (useful 2m1f-2m6f hurdle/chase); interesting newcomer.

Second reserve; 8-1 on Cork debut when beaten 34l; tailed off at 66-1 at Fairyhouse last time; may be better suited to handicaps.

Third reserve; Getaway gelding; unraced dam closely related to winners Any Second Now (high-class 2m-3m2f hurdle/chase; runner-up in Grand National) and Roxboro Road (useful 2m1f-2m5f hurdle/chase); likely best watched for now.

Appeared to benefit from first-time cheekpieces when winning for the first time at Thirsk in a Flat handicap in August (1m4f, good to firm); failed to beat a rival in two runs afterwards; unlikely to be involved on hurdling/stable debut.

Debut bumper winner at Kilbeggan when last seen in August (2m, good to yielding), third and fourth won subsequently; yet to be seen how he handles softer conditions, but his win marks him out as a big player.
