Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: J P O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: N Dooly| OR: 102

25/1

Modestly rated 45 on the Flat and is yet to trouble the judge in seven starts over hurdles. Plenty to find on recent offerings.

Form: 045P77

Nulife^p⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: A Ring| T: D Hogan| OR: 101| CD

8/1

Scorer over timber over C&D last summer off a mark of 93, the sole win over hurdles in 10 starts all told. Looks vulnerable in this company.

Show And Go^p,t³⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: D P Holden⁽⁷⁾| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 100| CD

2/1

Course winner that has also won over the trip and comes here on a hat-trick following a couple of solid performances over the larger obstacles in recent months. Another bold show likely on return to hurdles.

Form: 746-011

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Brian Hayes| T: M Winters| OR: 99| D

12/1

Won a Cork handicap hurdle over 2m in April off a 9lb lower mark but has been largely well held since. Appears to need some relief from the handicapper.

Form: 15-5257

Love The Well¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: T N Brett⁽⁷⁾| T: P Meany| OR: 93

33/1

16/1

Lightly raced, she opened her account over hurdles at the fifth attempt when winning over an extended 2m4f here in June off a 7lb lower mark. Well beaten at Kilbeggan since but clearly goes well here.

50/1

Five-race maiden hurdler well down the field in his opening four starts before failing to finish at Kilbeggan 12-months ago. Others look to be progressing at a quicker rate.

Age: 11| Weight: 10-12| J: R J Condon⁽⁷⁾| T: W C O'Brien| OR: 88

66/1

Realta Dawn⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: C J Maher⁽⁷⁾| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 87

11/2

Nine-race maiden who has been struggling of late until a promising fourth of 16 in a Bellewstown handicap hurdle last month. Needs more consistency.

Age: 9| Weight: 10-7| J: C J Orr⁽⁷⁾| T: N C Kelly| OR: 83

14/1

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: C D Maxwell| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 83

66/1

The Scorpion mare KILN ROCK opened her account over hurdles at the fifth attempt when winning over an extended 2m4f here in June off a 7lb lower mark. Beaten at Kilbeggan recently the four-year-old clearly likes it here and can see off the attentions of the in form Show And Go who may be popular in the betting, while last time out winner Lusis Naturea and Trenchtown Rock are deserving of consideration.
