Irish Stallion Farms EBF Novice Hurdle

🤖 AI race preview

Minella Emperor emerges as the most compelling contender on form, having consistently raced in midfield to rear positions with a strong record of resilience and recovery, supported by a solid RPR of 140 and OFR of 125, despite a recent drop in class at Cheltenham. His ability to rally under pressure, as seen in his 2026-02-14 Haydock run where he rallied before the final flight, and his recent performance at Fairyhouse under soft conditions, suggests he can make appeal in a contested field. Dad Sez presents a notable danger with a strong recent run at Kilbeggan where he led easily and maintained composure, while Hi Ho Idaho, despite a recent dip in form, remains a value at the forecast price with a clean headgear change and a consistent midfield presence. Siege Of Carthage, making his first appearance in a hurdle, is a wildcard with potential to surprise given his recent performances in touch with leaders, though his lack of form in the last two runs and a lower RPR of 126 limit his immediate threat.
