14/1

Generally well held in three appearances this season - despite finishing positions - and others look to be progressing at a quicker rate.

14/1

Winner of a Bellewstown 2m4f handicap hurdle off a 10lb lower mark in July but has been largely well held in a couple of subsequent starts since. Plenty to find on recent offerings.

Form:

Neddyvaughan^b²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: D J O'Keeffe⁽⁷⁾| T: P Roche| OR: 100

6/1

Solid and consistent in a number of starts since July including finishing runner-up in a Sligo handicap hurdle last month. Shapes like step up in trip may suit.

Form:

Shes Flat Tothemat⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: D J McInerney⁽³⁾| T: M Winters| OR: 100

12/1

Losing run over hurdles now totals six and based on her performance here on Sunday liable to find one or two quicker in this contest.

7/1

C&D winner in a June handicap hurdle on good ground off a 14lb lower mark. Added to the win at Sligo in July and one to consider here.

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: C A Landers⁽⁵⁾| T: M J McDonagh| OR: 99| D

33/1

Distance winner of a Bellewstown contest over two years ago. Spent some time off the track and may need another couple of runs to get back in to the swing of things.

Form:

Ard Na Carraig^p,t⁶³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: B Browne⁽⁵⁾| T: O McKiernan| OR: 98

16/1

Running on the Flat recently and remains a 13-race maiden hurdler. Third of 10 when last seen in July but finished over 12L behind the winner. Has work to based on form to hand.

Form:

Demi Plie^p⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Liam McKenna⁽⁷⁾| T: P Roche| OR: 98

5/2

Proved her win at Bellewstown at the end of last month was no fluke when finishing second of 18 beaten a little over 1L here on Sunday. Should make her presence felt again despite another 3lb rise. Recently purchased by J P McManus.

Customer¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: P E Corbett⁽³⁾| T: M J McDonagh| OR: 97

40/1

12th of 20 at the Galway festival in the geldings first start in over a year before a dismal 47L defeat in a forgettable run at Ballinrobe last month. Easily resistible.

Form:

Definitely Sharp¹⁰⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: M J Bolger| T: Mrs M Danagher| OR: 97

28/1

Three-race maiden hurdler who has not started at less than 100/1 in each of his starts to date. Looks a little out of his depth here.

Form:

Lady Maram⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: J M Burke| OR: 97

20/1

Has produced four below-par maiden hurdle performances to date and is unlikely to play a part in the finish here.

Form:

Racing Stripes¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: R Loughran| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 97| BF

7/1

Beaten favourite in a Down Royal handicap hurdle last month. Remains a nine-race maiden and losing run looks set to continue here.

Form:

Robin On The Hill^h⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: M A Enright| T: A Fogarty| OR: 97| D

10/1

Won a 2m4f Wexford handicap hurdle when not unbacked last month getting off the mark for connections at the fifth time of asking. Disappointing on a couple of occasions since and others preferred.

Form:

Bomber Jackson^v³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: D J Mullins| T: Mrs Y Dunleavy| OR: 95

16/1

Has put together a couple of promising handicap hurdle runs recently without winning and his three career wins remain contained to AW successes. Deserves a change of luck.

Form:

Cousin Pascal⁶³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr L P Gilligan⁽⁷⁾| T: D G Murphy| OR: 95

25/1

Winner of a point-to-point in May before being well held in a couple of hurdle spins when last seen in July. Hard to place any faith in.

Form:

Casadel Sol¹¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: A E Lynch| T: K Purcell| OR: 94

18/1

Generally well held in four hurdle starts the most recent in handicap company. Out of sorts recently and this looks a tough ask.

Form:

Messie^h²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: P T Enright| T: S Ryan| OR: 93| BF

12/1

beaten favourite last time out at Killarney following a couple of encouraging starts in June/July. Not completely dismissed in this company.

Form:

For Pedro^h⁴²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: B J Cooper| T: T Cooper| OR: 92

20/1

First Reserve: Improved performance when last seen in July in a Killarney handicap hurdle over 2m1f. Plenty more needed in this group.

Forecasts

Demi Plie (5/2), Neddyvaughan (6/1), Padraic O Conaire (7/1), Racing Stripes (7/1), Robin On The Hill (10/1), Messie (12/1), Shes Flat Tothemat (12/1), Sonowyouno (14/1), Mister Butler (14/1), Bomber Jackson (16/1), Ard Na Carraig (16/1), Casadel Sol (18/1), Lady Maram (20/1), For Pedro (20/1), Dunloe Lady (20/1), Cousin Pascal (25/1), Definitely Sharp (28/1), Wildcatted (33/1), Chosen Hour (33/1), Alice Johnston (33/1), Customer (40/1)

DEMI PLIE proved her win at Bellewstown at the end of last month was no fluke when finishing second of 18 beaten a little over 1L here on Sunday and can land the spoils here for new owner J P McManus with 7lb claimer Liam McKenna subsidising recent rise in the weights. The consistent Bomber Jackson is capable of hitting the frame here along with Racing Stripes and Messie.
