Selected odds by:

Brutal^t¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Ruby Walsh| T: G Elliott

8/11

Won a Cork maiden hurdle earlier this month at 1/2f. From powerful owner/trainer combo and significant jockey booking will look to build on last win.

Form: 1

Pronounced¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: J S McGarvey| T: J P O'Brien| D

9/2

Challenged in 2nd from before last, led from 1f out, stayed on well run-in, winning comfortably on hurdling debut and set to have a say here.

Form: 1

Loose Chippings^h1¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-8| J: B J Foley⁽⁷⁾| T: E M O'Sullivan

100/1

150L behind Brutal on hurdling debut, when things didn't go to plan and difficult to make a case for the colt here.

Form: 0

Machine Head¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-8| J: M A Enright| T: E M O'Sullivan

66/1

Eventually finished 33L behind Brutal on hurdling debut at Cork over 2m. Nothing of any encouragement to pass on as the gelding re-opposes.

Form: 6

Masterstonemason^p¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-8| J: D E Splaine| T: F Costello

14/1

Eighth of 12 on hurdle debut at Cork, a vastly improved effort at Ballinrobe last time out, earlier this month, when third of 10, beaten over 6L behind the impressive Pronounced. Best watched here, but one for the notebooks if going well.

Form: 83

Grey Waters¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-1| J: S A Shortall⁽³⁾| T: J P O'Brien

11/4

Second of 12 behind Brutal, beaten 1¾L in Cork maiden hurdle. Rematch and race against stablemate looks mouth watering.

Form: 2

Lady In Lavender

Age: 3| Weight: 10-1| J: A Ring⁽³⁾| T: J J Walsh

40/1

Jockey is 0/12 in the last 14 days. Filly is a daughter of Jeremy is not known for his jumpers, but has produced the likes of Our Conor and Jer's Girl.

Forecasts

Brutal (8/11), Grey Waters (11/4), Pronounced (9/2), Masterstonemason (14/1), Make It Hurrah (16/1), Foxy Lass (33/1), Lady In Lavender (40/1), Machine Head (66/1), Loose Chippings (100/1)

This is a fascinating renewal, where we can gauge the progress of three juvenile hurdlers. Grey Waters, second of 12 behind Brutal, beaten 1¾L in a Cork maiden hurdle, Pronounced, won comfortably on hurdling debut and BRUTAL, won a Cork maiden hurdle earlier this month at 1/2f and can build on that win here.
