Ard Na Carraig^t¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: D J McInerney⁽⁷⁾| T: O McKiernan| OR: 99

10/1

Beaten but not disgraced in two maiden hurdles at Roscommon and Ballinrobe in July, but well beaten in two dour efforts since. Tough ask and others preferred.

Form: 32-3500

Crazyheart^t¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: R M Power| T: P Nolan| OR: 99

8/1

The disappointing form of last season continued at Punchestown last month when finishing 20th of 22 beaten 108L. Can come on for seasonal debut and not dismissed.

Form: 122/04-0

Artic Pearl^t²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: R Loughran| T: M Brassil| OR: 98| D

7/4

Put a disappointing summer jumping campaign behind him by winning a Punchestown handicap hurdle over 2m4f beating Nobody Home 3L. Up 8lb for the win but in the mix.

Form: 66/6-8U1

El Vasco³⁵²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: R A Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: C O'Dwyer| OR: 98| D

25/1

Last seen when pulled up in Punchestown handicap hurdle over 2m6f in November 2016. Tough ask on return.

Bronco Bill⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: J D Benson⁽⁷⁾| T: N Meade| OR: 93

7/2

Drop back to 2m4f is sure to be appreciated following a disappointing effort at Down Royal when beaten over 9L. Worth a market check.

Form: 237275

Theatre Run²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: S A Shortall⁽³⁾| T: M A Cahill| OR: 92

11/1

Heavy ground may have been the excuse for a below-par performance when beaten favourite at Gowran Park before fourth of 12 at Cork last month. Step up in trip sure to be appreciated.

Form: 083154

Rain In Spain^t²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: P Townend| T: C O'Brien| OR: 91

16/1

Still on a mark of 91 despite a 6½L defeat last time out when fifth of 18 in a Thurles handicap hurdle. Vast improvement to figure here.

Form: 0-64405

Court Adjourned^t³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: C D Maxwell| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 88| BF

25/1

Pulled up on her last two starts including when sent off beaten favourite here over 2m5f in a handicap chase. On a dangerous mark but still hard to fancy.

Form: 5-059PP

Stoughan Cross^t¹⁹²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: D E Browne⁽⁷⁾| T: T Gibney| OR: 84| D

8/1

Modest handicapper scored at Navan before and finished a well beaten sixth behind White Arm before pulling up when something amiss at Punchestown in April. Best watched on return to the track.

Form: 95416P-

Gertoni^p1,t³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: P E Corbett⁽³⁾| T: Mrs C O'Leary| OR: 83

25/1

Not much to shout about in five seasonal starts since April including a 119L defeat last time out here last month on handicap debut. Difficult to see what improvement first-time cheekpieces will bring.

Form: 0-96000

Shar Whats Therush^t1⁵²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: P T Enright| T: D Hassett| OR: 87

9/1

Well beaten on four starts last season with much of the same on season debut in Listowel handicap hurdle when 25L behind Granny Biddy. May find this tough.

Form: 2099-0

Mystic Embarr^p²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: A E Lynch| T: D Broad| OR: 80

33/1

Eight-race maiden who finished 50L behind Poormans Hill last time out when sent off at 33/1. Will need to improve a chunk to figure.

Form: 066998

Rock On Barney^t²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: C D Timmons⁽³⁾| T: G T Lynch| OR: 80

25/1

Generally disappointed in a summer jumping campaign and failed to finish on return to the track at Galway last month. Others make more appeal.

Forecasts

Artic Pearl (7/4), Bronco Bill (7/2), Stoughan Cross (8/1), Authorative (8/1), Crazyheart (8/1), Shar Whats Therush (9/1), Ard Na Carraig (10/1), Theatre Run (11/1), Rain In Spain (16/1), El Vasco (25/1), Court Adjourned (25/1), Gertoni (25/1), Rock On Barney (25/1), Mystic Embarr (33/1), De Danu's Bach (33/1), Aston Cantlow (33/1)

Stoughan Cross and El Vasco could be the pair vying for the lead in the early stages here. The early pace could be beneficial for the Noel Meade-trained BRONCO BILL who is better over this trip and Theatre Run who was given too much to do last time out in Cork handicap hurdle. Authorative can grab a place.
