Age: 9| Weight: 12-3| J: Mr J C Barry⁽⁵⁾| T: V Halley| OR: 123| CD

10/1

C&D winner in May 2017 off a 6lb lower mark. Still racing competitively placing on his last three starts. Deserves a change of luck.

Form: 998-223

Antimatter²³³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Katie O'Farrell⁽⁵⁾| T: Donncha Duggan| OR: 116| CD

10/1

Winner over C&D last time out when last seen in October and comes here on a hat-trick. Capable of another bold bid off his new mark on seasonal debut.

Form: 332511-

Like An Open Book²³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: M P Burke⁽⁵⁾| T: J M Burke| OR: 115| D

9/1

Distance winner of a Thurles handicap hurdle in November. Winner on the Flat recently but appears to be struggling over hurdles of late.

Form: 13176-7

My Direction¹⁹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Donagh Meyler| T: Miss Ellmarie Holden| OR: 115

12/1

Second of 10 beaten 2½L in a Tramore handicap hurdle over this trip in August last year is his best performance to date but is liable to find a couple stronger here.

Form: 47P/62P-

Double Speak³⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: Jack Kennedy| T: Mrs D A Love| OR: 113| D

16/1

Distance winner who was well held when stepping up in trip last month at Clonmel. Will appreciate the drop to this trip and worth a market check.

Form: 8548-29

Konig Hall^p,t⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: Paul Townend| T: A McCann| OR: 110

9/2

Well beaten on the Flat recently but has been fairly consistent in a couple of hurdle spins since last month. Acts on the ground and has an interesting jockey booked.

Form: 3/322-32

Coolfighter^p¹²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-3| J: J P O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: N Dooly| OR: 109| BF| CD

8/1

C&D winner who was beaten favourite last time out in a Clonmel handicap hurdle earlier this month. Still on an attractive mark.

Form: 56-0913

Novano^h¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Brian Hayes| T: S Neville| OR: 108

25/1

Nothing to show in three handicap hurdle starts to date including tipping up last time out at Clonmel earlier this month. Reduced mark is a positive but others preferred in this contest.

Form: 420P8-F

Little Folke¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: D P Holden⁽⁷⁾| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 107| D

8/1

Winner of one of her six hurdle starts which came at Tramore in April 2017 as an odds-on favourite. Generally well beaten since and opposable on recent form.

Form: 1/2445-6

Drakaina^t³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Miss J M Cook⁽⁷⁾| T: Paul Power| OR: 103| CD

8/1

C&D winner who will possibly improve on her fifth of 18 on seasonal debut in a Clonmel handicap hurdle last month. Looks a progressive type and shortlisted here.

Form: 45221-5

Youngnedofthehill^h,t²³

Age: 10| Weight: 10-9| J: P E Corbett⁽³⁾| T: S Nolan| OR: 101

7/1

Plenty to like about his second of 15 at Ballinrobe recently when finding no extra in the closing stages and needs to eek out a little more here.

Form: 8250-72

Tintown Robin¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Sean Flanagan| T: V Halley| OR: 99| D

10/1

Failed to build on a decent run at Tramore when finishing eighth of 17 beaten 57L in a Clonmel handicap hurdle earlier this month. Plenty in his favour and has each way claims in this grade.

Form: 0244-48

Dia Del Sol^t1¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: D Robinson⁽³⁾| T: P Nolan| OR: 98

25/1

German Flat winner but tailed off in three career hurdles starts to date including a 38L defeat here earlier this month. Very little to be positive about in this contest.

Form: 780

Coherent^h¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: A W Short⁽⁵⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 90

25/1

Kept on in to third without troubling the leaders when finishing third of 12 earlier this month in a Tramore handicap hurdle over this trip. Possible improvement and place claims here.

Form: 604-503

Forecasts

Konig Hall (9/2), Youngnedofthehill (7/1), Drakaina (8/1), Coolfighter (8/1), Little Folke (8/1), Like An Open Book (9/1), Antimatter (10/1), Tintown Robin (10/1), Mr Picotee (10/1), My Direction (12/1), Double Speak (16/1), Novano (25/1), Coherent (25/1), Dia Del Sol (25/1)

The recent form of MR PICOTEE following on from a C&D win in May last year and conditions to suit puts him firmly in the driving seat to land the spoils here with fellow C&D winner Antimatter who look capable of another bold bid off his new mark on seasonal debut. My Direction from the Ellmarie Holden yard and Konig Hall on his best form are worthy of consideration.
