Cantkidakidder^b¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: J P O'Sullivan⁽⁴⁾| T: N Dooly| OR: 95| CD

3/1

Coming back in to form following a couple of pleasing starts at Tramore and Killarney last month. Capable of running a big race.

Form: 225712

Whoyakodding^p²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: S A Shortall| T: G Ahern| OR: 89

7/1

Had rendered many unsatisfactory runs this year before finishing third of 16 beaten a little over 6L in a Tramore handicap hurdle last month behind Cantkidakidder. Place claims.

Form: U66P53

Gliondar Mo Chroi¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: D J McInerney| T: A Fogarty| OR: 87

6/1

Finished 2L adrift of Cappacon - runs in the 2.15 - last month in a Sligo handicap hurdle on good ground over this trip. Needs to improve but not ruled out.

Form: 7-59092

Wild Desire²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: E T Daly⁽⁴⁾| T: P Nolan| OR: 84| BF

9/1

Disappointed when beaten favourite last time out in a Tramore 2m handicap hurdle finishing fifth of 11, well beaten. Needs to bounce back here.

Form: 001645

Beneficial Society^p¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: C Brassil⁽²⁾| T: L Fowler| OR: 82

10/1

Winner at Ballinrobe last summer when rated 2lb lower. Just 1-14 in this sphere though and needs to up game.

Form: 6187-05

Ciaoifsin^t²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: P E Corbett| T: J P Fahey| OR: 81

8/1

19 race maiden has finished well down the field on three starts this season. Even his best form would probably leave him short of what is required.

Form: 408-554

Wicket^t⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: S A Mulcahy⁽⁴⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 86

25/1

Will have disappointed connections in a series of dismal efforts since the turn of the year on the AW and on turf. Hard to see him making any significant impact.

Form: 9-00096

Fly De Megaudais^h1²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: C A Landers⁽⁴⁾| T: M J McDonagh| OR: 80

33/1

Has failed to finish two of his last three hurdle starts. First time hood unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.

Form: P0-8P9P

Ice Ice Baby^b,t¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-11| J: R A Doyle⁽²⁾| T: F Oakes| OR: 80

16/1

Has been left toiling in a number of starts since May including when well held - despite finishing positions - in a couple of starts last month. Looks a tall order on form shown.

Form: 8P-5034

Oscar Madness³³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: D Robinson| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 80

13/2

Winning point-to-pointer who has achieved nothing under rules failing to finish three of her last four starts over hurdles. Worth a market check on first run for new connections.

Form: 60P-P0P

Railway Muice^p,t¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: John J Fitzpatrick⁽⁴⁾| T: Miss D O'Shea| OR: 80

14/1

Well beaten and never a factor in four starts over hurdles this season. Unlikely to play a part in the finish.

Form: 0-706P5

Tricky Question²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: G Brouder⁽⁴⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 80

100/1

Has failed to place in six disappointing career starts to date including a couple of no-completions this season. Needs to show significant improvement.

Form: 0600-PP

Bazarov²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Liam Gilligan⁽⁴⁾| T: J O Clifford| OR: 90

20/1

First Reserve: Fair form in point-to-points but has finished well beaten on three of his four starts over hurdles.

Forecasts

Cantkidakidder (3/1), Gliondar Mo Chroi (6/1), Oscar Madness (13/2), Whoyakodding (7/1), Rain In Spain (7/1), Ciaoifsin (8/1), Wild Desire (9/1), Superefficient (10/1), Beneficial Society (10/1), Railway Muice (14/1), Ice Ice Baby (16/1), Bazarov (20/1), Wicket (25/1), Fly De Megaudais (33/1), Presenting Thewest (50/1), Tricky Question (100/1)

C&D winner CANTKIDAKIDDER wouldn't have to improve much to land the spoils here in a weak looking contest with possibly only Rain In Spain, winner of a Sligo maiden hurdle last month and Whoyakodding, third behind the selection at Tramore last month, looking like serious rivals.
