FormscanBy Tom Weekes - SPORTING GLORY is a lightly-raced eight-year-old but showed smart ability in his belated debut season and was sold last May as part of the Clipper Logistics dispersal sale, for 120,000 pounds. His bumper form is strong and having dipped his toe into late-season hurdling in a Fairyhouse Grade 2 last March, should now take the beating debuting for a new yard. Taponthego has been withdrawn from two recent maiden hurdles and while he is a notable runner on his debut for new connections, needs to be smart to beat the selection. Wrecking Ballbilly had good bumper form in 2023 but is probably best watched on his hurdles' debut following a 345 days layoff.
A hurdle for five years old and upwards colts and geldings only, maidens at starting
Weights - 11st 12lbs

Quotes on Wrecking Ballbilly (IRE)
He was just minding him today on the soft ground. He's loads better on better ground, he said he hated the ground. We came here for our local track and always like to get a winner here. He's as green as leaves this horse. We were minding him at home and he is probably the nicest horse we have had in the yard this long time. He's a very classy horse and a big baby. He probably needs a break to be honest, he's had three runs this year - second, second and first. He'll be a lovely horse next year. He needs to learn to grow up a wee bit, he needs a winter on the grass and to settle down. I don't think I will run him again (this year), we could sell him and keep him in the yard or sell him on. We are selling everything now, it used to be I kept everything. I would probably give him another bumper (next year) if he wises up a wee bit. He has a fair engine. I saw him gallop on the beach with good horses one day and inside half a furlong there was 30 lengths of difference - I never saw anything like it in my life. It nearly brought a tear to my eyes!
