Magnetic Force^b²⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: A E Lynch| T: R Hennessy| OR: 102| D

12/1

Back to form on latest start when successful at Wexford, and this is no harder, but best form on good ground and any significant rain would be a concern. May be best at a bare 2m too.

Form: 224271

Patsio^b³⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: R Loughran| T: J R Barry| OR: 101

20/1

Not really setting the world alight at present and form only moderate. Drop back in trip may help but on balance, others look to hold stronger claims.

Form: 344655

Billy De Kid^t¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: K J Brouder⁽⁷⁾| T: T Cooper| OR: 100

10/1

Probably better at this sort of trip than further, unexposed over fences and ran well on soft ground at Ballinrobe in August. Needs to eradicate errors but a chance if putting a clear round in, with ground no issue.

Form: F07450

Jack The Hat^b,t²¹

Age: 12| Weight: 11-10| J: D J Mullins| T: Madeleine Tylicki| OR: 100

8/1

Form of his win over Curassier D'Empire at Perth in August has worked out well, and he put another good effort in back over hurdles latest. Probably doesn't want too much rain, but every chance if it stays away.

Form: 4/013P2

L'Attesa^p,t²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: I J McCarthy| T: S Nolan| OR: 99| D

9/1

Pedigree offers a bit of hope that he could make a chaser, but it's not happened for him so far and connections go for a tongue-tie after some middling efforts. All looks a bit risky and others preferred.

Form: 19-7586

Cloneen Choice^t²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: Don Browne| OR: 97

16/1

Not totally disgraced here at Clonmel in June, finishing close up in midfield and may strip fitter for a recent run after a break. Drop back in trip may help too and as he acts on most ground, he can't be ruled out here.

Form: 5-237P9

Fiddlers Bow^b1¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: D E Mullins| T: J J Mangan| OR: 96

12/1

Has looked regressive on recent efforts (mainly over hurdles) and connections now reach for the headgear to halt the slide. Hard to fancy in current frame of mind.

Form: 6-03787

Double Windsor⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: P Townend| T: D M O'Brien| OR: 94

14/1

Not disgraced over fences at Tramore in August but since then his form has taken a turn for the worse, and he was tailed off at Downpatrick last week. Hard to see why he should fare any better here.

Form: 845008

Tb Broke Her^p²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: S W Flanagan| T: A L T Moore| OR: 91| C

12/1

Has been kept busy this summer but has held her form well, and went close at Wexford at the beginning of the month. Non-runner last week due to being in season, and an overall record of 2-37 are enough to make you look elsewhere for the winner.

Form: 602692

Erkindale Lady^p²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: J J Slevin⁽³⁾| T: Miss M M Gannon| OR: 88

25/1

Sent off big prices recently and hasn't looked like winning one, although did show a little more at Wexford last time out. That was on good ground, however, and she may find conditions different here.

Form: 8-95077

Mount Brandon¹⁸⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: P T Enright| T: R Tyner| OR: 88

16/1

Looked like winning at Punchestown last December but was run out of it close home, and in three subsequent starts he couldn't repeat the run. No win in 20 starts and an absence since March are the stumbling blocks here.

Form: P/P2667-

Templemichael^h,t²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: D N Russell| T: D Budds| OR: 86

4/1

Found a bit of form to finish second to Magnetic Force at Wexford latest, his best run for a while, and with the services of Davy Russell to help, could go close if building on that here.

Form: 57-4742

Model Cloud^p⁶⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: B Hayes| T: M Winters| OR: 83

20/1

Best run this year came at Tramore when second there (over a longer trip than today) in June, but inconsistency has crept into her work again and she's not repeated that run since. Not out of it but not one to fully trust either.

Form: 0P-0290

Wee Tiger^t²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: P E Corbett⁽³⁾| T: R Hackett| OR: 81

7/2

Couple of decent efforts over hurdles this summer but four chase starts last year left plenty to be desired. Still a maiden after 20 starts and there are surely more likely winners.

TEMPLEMICHAEL Magnetic Force on their meeting at Wexford but might have a bit more progression over fences in him and is taken to come out on top this time. Hard Bought has got form after a break before and has a bit going for him here - if he can avoid errors he can go close. Billy De Kid is another that may yet do better and can take a prize home.
