Dylrow^t³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: D J Hand⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hennessy| OR: 106| D

10/3

Made slight improvement last season but looked to struggled off his revised mark following a win at Naas in February suffering defeats at Gowran Park and last time out in a Thurles handicap hurdle last month.

Form: P5153-3

Ale Ambrosio^h²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: R M Power| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 103

9/1

Disappointed on return from a break on seasonal debut at Thurles before a similar story when finishing 19L behind Ratoute Yutty in a Navan maiden hurdle last month. Market likely to reveal expectations.

Form: 0470-05

The Brig¹²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: R P Treacy⁽⁵⁾| T: J G Coogan| OR: 102

25/1

Modest in five maiden hurdle starts this term eventually being pulled up last time out when something amiss four out in August. Others preferred on handicap debut.

Form: 5-5306P

Sir Bob¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: M P Walsh| T: R Tyner| OR: 100

11/1

Will have disappointed powerful connections so far in a three-race maiden hurdle career. Worth a market check on handicap debut.

Form: 1-760

Fairymount Boy¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: A E Lynch| T: M Hourigan| OR: 98| BF| D

9/1

Generally consistent over the summer landing an Autumn double at Gowran Park and Thurles. Improving game sort who can go well again.

Brosna George³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 96

3/1

Not unfancied when finishing second of 16 beaten 4L on seasonal debut over C&D last month can improve again and shouldn't be underestimated.

Form: P/003P-2

Mick The Boyo³⁷⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: C A Landers⁽⁷⁾| T: J Grace| OR: 95| D

10/1

Distance winner who was last seen finishing fourth of 11 beaten 9¾L at Limerick last December. Market likely to be the best guide on return to action.

Form: 3/87614-

Trans Wood^t1²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: R A Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: G M Doyle| OR: 91

12/1

Improved dramatically on a 49L defeat on seasonal debut when finishing second of nine beaten 3¼L in a Gowran Park handicap hurdle last month. Needs to show that performance was not a one off in first-time tongue-tie.

Form: 00-002

Tyrone Tiger^p1⁴³

Age: 11| Weight: 10-11| J: R Loughran| T: Miss S Barkley| OR: 91| CD

20/1

Popular veteran who has won over C&D but has shown that he is clearly regressing of late and difficult to see what improvement first-time cheekpieces will bring.

Form: 1/P70P-P

Golden Jewel⁸⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: C D Timmons⁽³⁾| T: E Cawley| OR: 88

20/1

Beaten a long way on seasonal debut in September when finishing 15th of 30 behind Mengli Khan. Faces a tough task on handicap debut.

Form: 800-0

Pride Of Kildare¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: John J Fitzpatrick⁽⁷⁾| T: D Buckley| OR: 87

20/1

Back over hurdles after a couple of unsuccessful spins in point-to-points when a surprise third of 12 beaten 8L at 66/1. Others make more appeal.

Form: 99/9UP-3

Crack On Corrie⁴⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: C D Meehan⁽⁵⁾| T: W J Austin| OR: 85

7/1

Winner last time out in a Galway handicap hurdle beating Grandma Dotty 2½L Can go well again off a 5lb higher mark but has struggled in this class in the past.

Form: 720-7P1

Forecasts

Brosna George (3/1), Dylrow (10/3), Crack On Corrie (7/1), Ale Ambrosio (9/1), Fairymount Boy (9/1), Mick The Boyo (10/1), Sir Bob (11/1), Trans Wood (12/1), Golden Jewel (20/1), Tyrone Tiger (20/1), Pride Of Kildare (20/1), The Brig (25/1)

The Brig and Tyrone Tiger could possibly make the running here with Mick The Boyo chasing the leaders in behind. Thurles third Dylrow can improve on his seasonal debut here while Brosna George is another who caught the eye on his first start of the season. Both though may well have to play second fiddle to the improving FAIRYMOUNT BOY second of eight on his last starts earlier this month and has won on heavy ground in the past.
