Papal Parade^p,t1²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: E O'Connell⁽⁷⁾| T: E O'Connell

33/1

Got back on track with a win at Roscommon in August but failed to back that up when she shaped as if amiss at Limerick last time. Beaten on the Flat at Limerick latest and worth a market check in first-time cheekpieces.

Form:

Tara Dylan⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: D J Mullins| T: T Mullins| OR: 119

5/6

Not much to shout about recently but may have a chance based on a run here 12-months ago when second of 17 in a 2m maiden hurdle.

Form: 263P-26

Under Surveillance³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: K M Donoghue| T: A Lynch| D

5/1

Has shown plenty of promise in a number of bumper starts since the turn of the year including a 9½L win at Kilbeggan in June. Deserved better at Roscommon last month and could be a leading player here.

Form: 45-143B

Cara's Way³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: J W Kennedy| T: G Elliott

14/1

Will have disappointed leading connections in a couple of gloomy bumper efforts since September. Needs to improve on hurdling introduction.

Form: P/57

Champagne Nova^b³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: A McCurtin⁽³⁾| T: Donncha Duggan

100/1

Nothing of note in a number of dismal displays in a number of bumper and hurdle starts since May. Unlikely to play a part in the finish.

Form: 009P56

Inchidaly Breeze³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Mr C J Shine⁽⁷⁾| T: L J Archdeacon

125/1

Three race maiden and no impression beaten over 65+L on each occasion. Hard to fancy following innocuous maiden hurdle debut last month.

Form: 007

Indian Music^t1²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: R Loughran| T: W J Burke| OR: 95

33/1

Ordinary 95-rated hurdler who unseated at the first on chasing debut at Sligo before a 43L defeat at Tramore last month. Form, back hurdling, doesn't warrant support despite first-time tongue-tie.

Form: 3930U4

Kiss Me Kayf²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: J R Wildman⁽⁷⁾| T: G Elliott

40/1

Daughter of Kayf Tara out of a Green Tune mare and costing €40,000 as a three-year-old. Will need to raise overall profile following heavy defeats in a couple of career bumpers to date.

Form: 69

Miss Chevious Girl¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: P Townend| T: W P Mullins| BF

3/1

Third in each of her three bumper starts to date. Yard not waiting any longer to have the mare hurdling. Should be a leading contender in this company.

Form: 333

N'Arrete Jamais^t³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: D E Mullins| T: A J Black

20/1

Supported on debut at Listowel in September when well held in a 2m bumper before being friendless in the market when finishing 11th of 12 at Gowran Park last month. Others preferred.

Form: 40

Remembered Joy^b⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: A E Lynch| T: E P Harty

50/1

Poor 16-race maiden on the Flat including a dismal seven race, three-year-old campaign for trainer John Oxx. Beaten 71L on debut at Clonmel earlier this month and easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 8

Slippery Slope¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: S J Gray⁽³⁾| T: E J O'Grady

80/1

Will have disappointed influential connections in three innocuous efforts to date and remains with plenty to prove here.

Form: P09

Tillys Delight¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: J J Slevin| T: G Murphy

50/1

Poor form in a series of dismal performances to date and requires a chunk of improvement to land a blow here.

Form: 18/0UP-B

Forecasts

Tara Dylan (5/6), Miss Chevious Girl (3/1), Under Surveillance (5/1), Cara's Way (14/1), N'Arrete Jamais (20/1), Indian Music (33/1), Papal Parade (33/1), Kiss Me Kayf (40/1), Tillys Delight (50/1), Remembered Joy (50/1), Slippery Slope (80/1), Champagne Nova (100/1), Inchidaly Breeze (125/1)

The Thomas Mullins-trained TARA DYLAN can make use of her hurdling experience and out-point her nearest rival Miss Chevious Girl here to land the spoils in this weak looking contest. The Andrew Lynch-trained Under Surveillance and Cara's Way from the Gordon Elliott yard look the best of the rest.
