Shimmer's Rock¹⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: G N Fox| T: P E Collins| OR: 121| D

10/1

Took form forward a step when taking a Clonmel maiden hurdle on first start for new yard, the front two nicely clear before disappointing when stepped up to this level at Punchestown. Not seen since pulling up at Killarney in May, looks opposable.

Form: 3U610-P

Water Sprite^t⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Liam McKenna⁽⁷⁾| T: G Elliott| OR: 116| D

10/1

In the mix last month in hurdles starts at Kilbeggan and Ballinrobe before disappointing at Gowran Park over 2m4f earlier this month. May have to settle for a minor role.

Form: 0-58348

Ejayteekay¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: A E Lynch| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 110| D

9/2

Distance winner of a Cork handicap hurdle over 12-months ago. Promising run in a Roscommon novice chase earlier this month on introduction over fences. Open to improvement back over timber.

Form: 127344

Mysloegin^t⁵⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: J R Finn| OR: 110| D

7/2

Genuine and tough, stable star who has finished in the first two in three of her last four starts since July, winning on a couple of occasions. Has the form to make a bold bid.

Form: 441621

Light Of My Life^h¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: M P Walsh| T: E J O'Grady| OR: 104| D

9/4

Significant improvement in hurdling form since his maiden at Tramore in August. Distance winner of his latest start in a Roscommon hurdle earlier this month. Enters calculations here.

Form: 348S21

Drakaina^t⁵⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Miss J M Cook⁽⁷⁾| T: Paul Power| OR: 102| CD

5/1

C&D winner of this contest 12-months ago off a 5lb lower mark. Has struggled in most of her starts since and appears in the grip of the handicapper.

Form: 21-5207

Lily Trotter³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: K J Brouder⁽⁷⁾| T: E McNamara| OR: 95

8/1

Suffered some heavy defeats since March including on her return to action at Listowel last month over 3m. Form doesn't warrant support.

Forecasts

Light Of My Life (9/4), Mysloegin (7/2), Ejayteekay (9/2), Drakaina (5/1), Misty Millie (5/1), Lily Trotter (8/1), Water Sprite (10/1), Shimmer's Rock (10/1), Red Pearl (10/1), Elusive Theatre (12/1)

The manner of how LIGHT OF MY LIFE is improving is arduous to neglect and can continue her development here following a comfortable win in a Roscommon maiden hurdle earlier this month over this trip. The genuine and consistent Mysloegin has hit the frame in three of her last four starts since July and can battle for the minors with C&D winner of this race 12-months ago Drakaina.
