Selected odds by:

Cooldine Bog²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: D E Mullins| T: A Slattery

14/1

Placed twice in point-to-point company in the autumn but finished well beaten over hurdles at Punchestown on his rules debut. Has reverted to bumpers in his last two races but down the field once again.

Form: 3P007-5

Hitdroadjack^t1³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead

7/2

Well beaten and never nearer in two starts since April and first time tongue-tie unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to win but place claims all the same.

Form: 57/2P-67

Kinnagoe Boy²³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr C Kiernan⁽⁷⁾| T: John G Carr

100/1

Has produced a number of laboured runs well beaten on all occasions and remains a six-race maiden. Has plenty to prove here.

Form: U47400-

Redwood Castle^b1¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: B Hayes| T: J J Hanlon

40/1

Nothing of note in three below par starts since May and difficult to see what improvement first time blinkers bring here.

Form: P3-P98F

Turnpike Thunder^h1¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: F J Hayes⁽⁷⁾| T: J M Burke

100/1

First time hood unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to trouble the judge here in three dismal displays to date.

Form: 0-00

Aoibhe's Beau¹²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: D N Russell| T: T O'Brien

7/1

Fair form in a couple of point-to-point starts but has been found wanting in two bumper starts to date. Possible more at home with an obstacle to jump.

Form: F39/154-

Choice Of Diamonds²⁰⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: P T Enright| T: S Aherne

100/1

Pulled up once and finished last in two other outings before a 33L defeat in bumpers, so not too difficult to suggest that others are more likely winners.

Form: PP/078-

Famous Day³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: R A Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: O McKiernan| OR: 95

10/1

Has looked over-whelmed in a series of maiden hurdle starts since the turn of the year. Claims given the quality of the opposition on show today.

Form: 5P8F5-5

Glocca Mora^t¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: J J Slevin| T: J P O'Brien

7/4

Has finished down the field in three career starts to date but the trainer may have found an ideal opening here.

Form: 6-55

Lovetotalk⁷¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: D G Hogan| T: D Hogan

20/1

Nothing in three starts under rules last year and has since produced a number of inept point-to-point displays since. Looks up against it here on stable debut.

Form: 777F4P-

Major Fawcett^t1²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr M J Stenson⁽⁷⁾| T: T M Walsh

50/1

Gelding by Derby winner Sir Percy out of a Monsun mare related to genuine types Presenting Percy and Cornborough. Well beaten and down the field in three bumpers to date and easily passed over here.

Form: 48-0

Katoptris⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: A E Lynch| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 98

4/1

Slight improvement in a Downpatrick maiden hurdle earlier this month and can continue progression here in a weak contest.

Form: 86-5

La Belle De Paris¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: C D Maxwell| T: D A McLoughlin

100/1

Nothing to show in three career starts to date including two heavy maiden hurdle defeats. Needs major improvement from those displays to take a hand.

Form: 090

Onemoreask²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: M A Enright| T: M Keane

20/1

Not much to shout about in four career starts to date including a couple of desolate maiden hurdle performances at Cork and more recently at Tramore.

Form: P-006

Forecasts

Glocca Mora (7/4), Hitdroadjack (7/2), Katoptris (4/1), Aasleagh Dawn (13/2), Aoibhe's Beau (7/1), Shaw's Cross (8/1), Famous Day (10/1), Cooldine Bog (14/1), Onemoreask (20/1), Lovetotalk (20/1), Randall's Aoibhinn (20/1), Redwood Castle (40/1), Major Fawcett (50/1), La Belle De Paris (100/1), Kinnagoe Boy (100/1), Turnpike Thunder (100/1), Choice Of Diamonds (100/1)

Trainer Joseph O'Brien may have found an ideal opportunity for the Fame An Glory gelding GLOCCA MORA to get off the mark here on his fourth career start. Potential improver Katoptris and the Oliver McKiernan-trained Famous Day can fight for the minor honours along with Hitdroadjack.
