Cnoc Na Sioga²⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: T N Brett⁽⁷⁾| T: J P Ryan| OR: 91| D

9/1

Not won over hurdles since 2013 and while that was off a much higher mark than this, he's not run well for a couple of years now. Tailed off last time and likely to struggle here.

Form: 31/0-038

Wee Small Hours^t¹⁷¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: D J Hand⁽⁷⁾| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 88

16/1

Still a maiden after 15 starts under Rules but has given the impression he's capable of winning a race like this on the odd occasion. Probably wants softer ground that what he's likely to get here though and he has a break to overcome.

Charms Bracelet^h,t³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: A E Lynch| T: A Murray| OR: 93

25/1

Showed very little ability on the Flat and similar story in a handful a hurdles starts for this yard. Hard to fancy.

Form: 696-509

The Trigger⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: D E Mullins| T: R McNally| OR: 87

1/1

Arrives here in search of a hat-trick after two wins over fences. Competes off his lower hurdles mark here and seemingly the one to beat now he's returned to form.

Form: 1-05411

Authorative^t³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: C Brassil⁽⁵⁾| T: A McCann| OR: 85| D

12/1

Tailed off last time upped in trip but more at home over this distance and had been running well prior to that effort. More than likely he's still in form and scored off this sort of mark in the past. Each-way claims.

Form: PF7-250

Royal Roslea²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: K M Smith⁽⁷⁾| T: M J Smith| OR: 85

7/1

Still a maiden over hurdles but won twice off the Flat, the latter win off a mark of 59. On a fair mark if she can put it all together over hurdles and each-way claims once again here.

Form: F99-453

I'm Serious^p1¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: S A Mulcahy⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 89

16/1

Well held on first three starts over hurdles and a similar result on handicap debut at Limerick in good ground last time out. Looks limited from an ability perspective and hugely reliant on first-time cheekpieces working the oracle.

Form: 8990

Little Wade^t²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: B Browne⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs D A Love| OR: 83

16/1

Tailed off on all seven starts that include bumpers, a Flat race and four hurdles starts. Jumping let her down to some degree last time and needs improvement to figure.

Form: 86/000-5

Select Opportunity^h1¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: C D Timmons⁽³⁾| T: E Cawley| OR: 82

8/1

Minor promise last time out when stayed on past beaten rivals to finish fourth of 14 at Wexford but step back in trip perhaps not in his favour. Needs to build on his latest effort in a first-time hood.

Form: P00-074

Yes Man^p¹⁶

Age: 12| Weight: 10-13| J: J J Burke| T: D Cullen| OR: 82

25/1

Just one win from 29 starts coming at Sligo but that was over a year ago. Occasional decent run as seen when fourth of 14 at Wexford recently but improvement pretty much ruled out at this stage of his career and others are more appealing.

Form: 030-040

Canova^p,t³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: S Perry⁽⁷⁾| T: G Elliott| OR: 81

16/1

Long-standing maiden was beaten 15L in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick when last seen. Has very rarely shown enough ability to win a race and likely to struggle from his basement mark.

Form: 009497

Larkfield Lass⁷¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: J J Slevin⁽³⁾| T: R P Rath| OR: 81

20/1

Lost her way in point-to-points and the switch to Rules has done little to stop the rot. Yet to get competitive and hard to fancy.

Form: 4/649-0P

Crazy Queen⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: J S McGarvey| T: D Cullen| OR: 80

14/1

Only glimmers of ability to date and they came over short trips than this. Less exposed than several in here, so improvement can't be ruled out.

Form: 0-07790

Our Pocket Rocket¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Mr E P Keating⁽⁷⁾| T: Eamon Courtney| OR: 80

50/1

Nine race maiden who has shown very little in any of her starts to date. Well beaten on her latest two efforts introduced into handicap company and likely to struggle again.

Form: PP-80P8

Patricks Boy^p1,t¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: I J McCarthy| T: John G Carr| OR: 80

33/1

Unplaced in all ten starts so far including off this mark over an extended 2m1f at Ballinrobe last time out. Hopes seem to lie with this step back up in trip suiting and first-time cheekpieces working the oracle.

Form: 9-00008

Jeremys Hope^t⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Rochelle Murphy⁽⁷⁾| T: D E Fitzgerald| OR: 81

40/1

Tailed off on all six starts and no signs of improvement in handicap company the last twice. Likely to struggle.
