11/1

Bits and pieces of promise in four maiden hurdles so far especially when third at Downpatrick two starts back. Makes handicap debut off a very appealing mark and leading rider aboard. Interesting.

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: A W Short⁽⁵⁾| T: N C Kelly| OR: 90

25/1

Well beaten in four starts in the UK before a very promising third at Tramore on handicap debut last month. Fell when held at Newton Abbot last time. Is of interest here with the cheekpieces going on for the first time.

Form: 6-5963F

7/1

C&D winner here last month on yielding ground getting the race in the stewards room after finishing 1L behind Muroor. Up 4lbs in the weights today but should be more to come.

Form: 065-U01

Filly Mullins^p1³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: D E Mullins| T: Ms M Mullins| OR: 89

9/1

Been running well without winning of late including in handicaps the last twice. Needs to eek out a bit more for win purposes and the cheekpieces go on today.

Pegi Browne⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr I T Queally⁽⁷⁾| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 88

20/1

Modest 49-rated handicapper on the Flat and no impact in three maiden hurdles. Didn't fare much better on handicap debut last time at Kilbeggan and this drop in trip doesn't look ideal.

Form: 900-5

Global Tour^t⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: I J McCarthy| T: P W Flynn| OR: 86

20/1

Didn't show much in four starts in maiden hurdles and made little impression on handicap debut last time. Needs to do plenty more to be involved and looks to want further.

Form: 708-007

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: L P Dempsey| T: J P Dempsey| OR: 90

14/1

Big prices and well held in three starts in maiden hurdles so far. Needs marked improvement on handicap debut here with tongue-tie on for the first time.

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: A E Lynch| T: A J Martin| OR: 85

20/1

Been mixing up running over fences and hurdles of late with not much fortune. Mark is slipping but hard to fancy in current mood.

Form: 09PP-90

Glendaars Warrior⁵⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: C D Maxwell| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 85

11/1

Slight improvement on some desolate displays over hurdles since the turn of the year, in a Sligo 2m handicap earlier this month. Needs to improve once again.

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: S O'Callaghan⁽⁷⁾| T: A McCann| OR: 84

33/1

Only won once over hurdles way back in 2015. Back on a winning mark here but has been completely bereft of any form recently.

10/11

Nothing of note in a number of starts for Paul Deegan. Backed off the boards on debut for leading trainer at Clonmel last time but again it was a tame effort. Likely to do better at some point.

Form: 008/06-0

Kinnagoe Boy⁶⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: C A Landers⁽⁵⁾| T: John G Carr| OR: 83

50/1

Well held in all hurdles starts to date including in handicaps the last twice.Hard to fancy on all known evidence and minor role likely once again.

Form: 400-890

Fintown Boy^h1³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Brian Hayes| T: M Winters| OR: 82

20/1

Nothing of note in a number of dismal displays over hurdles in the spring of 2017. Acceptable and promising run on return to the track last month at Killarney. Worth a market check in first time hood.

Form: 0P/050-8

66/1

Dual winner on the Flat but struggled in recent starts. Beaten 53L in a maiden hurdle at Sligo last month. Needs major improvement on handicap bow.

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: J P O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 80

66/1

Beaten a long way or failed to finish on all starts over hurdles. Impossible to fancy in current form and others much preferred.

Forecasts

Eight And Bob (10/11), Lleyton (7/1), Filly Mullins (9/1), Milomynit (11/1), Glendaars Warrior (11/1), Blue Skimmer (12/1), Longtimesincejaspr (14/1), Pegi Browne (20/1), Bard Of Armagh (20/1), Fintown Boy (20/1), Global Tour (20/1), Madaboy Cross (20/1), Every Chance (25/1), Authorative (33/1), Cul An Ti (33/1), Kinnagoe Boy (50/1), Steelyeyed (66/1), Tricky Question (66/1)

It will be interesting to see if the money comes again for Eight And Bob. His leading trainer is sure to find the key to him sooner or later. Every Chance is improving with each run and is feared. MILOMYNIT has shaped with plenty of promise over hurdles and starts life in handicaps off what looks a very appealing mark.
