1
Horse silk
50/1
Well held when down the field in a couple of disappointing hurdle spins since April. Below par form set to continue.
2
Horse silk
66/1
Useful 89-rated handicapper on the Flat for Ed Walker and Ed Vaughan in the last couple of seasons winning two of his 13 starts. Watching brief on hurdling debut.
3
Horse silk
66/1
In rear and raced a little too freely on debut here over 2m2f earlier this month eventually finishing sixth of 11 beaten 29L. Looks a long term prospect.

14/1
€190,000 purchase at sales last year after winning in France. Nothing of note in a couple of hurdle starts at Punchestown and Cork in the spring and possibly best watched on return to action.

Hidden Commotion28
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-12| J: B Hayes| T: E Cawley
100/1
Not much to shout about in a couple of hurdle starts ten months apart including a heavy defeat last month at Down Royal. Hard to place any faith in.

9/4
Gelding has placed at the track and over this trip. Won on the fourth time of asking landing a Punchestown bumper when last seen in April. May need the experience here on return to the track on hurdling debut.
8
Horse silk
66/1
€20,000 as a three-year-old this Robin Des Pres gelding could be of interest in the future. Third of 16 on sole point-to-point start when last seen in December and best watched on debut here.

Horse silk
Roseriver Hast48
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-12| J: S W Flanagan| T: N Meade| OR:  118| D
12/1
Eight race maiden hurdler who was third of 25 in this contest 12-months ago. Kept on the go over the summer claiming a win on the Flat in May. Capable of hitting the frame.
10
Horse silk
Scorpion Knight187
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-12| J: D J Mullins| T: P A Fahy
100/1
Beaten over 120L in a Punchestown bumper in October before a disappointing maiden hurdle displays at Clonmel and Ballinrobe in the spring. Overall record casts doubt on his ability to get competitive here.
12
Horse silk
Trump Cardt17
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-12| J: R A Doyle(5)| T: C O'Dwyer| OR:  116
25/1
Four race maiden hurdler but appears to be coming to hand following a promising third of 11 beaten 2L over C&D last month. Worth a market check.
14
Horse silk
6/5
Won a Navan bumper for influential owners by some 13L last month and should be a leading contender on hurdling debut in this company.
16
Horse silk
100/1
Showed some ability in a pair of bumpers, finishing midfield in each. More needed now over hurdles and big field hardly ideal.
17
Horse silk
Eagle Roque13
Age: 4|  Weight: 11-9| J: E T Daly(7)| T: P Nolan
50/1
Cost €33,000 as a three-year-old by Youmzain out of a Martaline mare. Sixth of 20 on hurdling debut beaten 31L in a Cork maiden hurdle last month. Out of sorts recently and this looks a tough task.
Getaway gelding out of an Oscar mare. Cost €160,000 as a three-year-old. Yard having their fair share of hurdling success and one to note in the market on debut.
19
Horse silk
66/1
Early season promise on the Flat 12-months ago tapered off in to heavy defeats this season. Hard to fancy and plenty to prove on debut.
20
Horse silk
100/1
Daughter of St Jovite out of a dam that was unplaced on the flat. Well beaten and never nearer in three career starts including heavy defeats over timber. Others preferred.
21
Horse silk
5/1
Won at the Galway festival on the Flat over 1m4f before finishing fourth of 11 on hurdling debut at Listowel in September. Second of 11 beaten 2L in October and rates a leading contender.
22
Horse silk
Latoyah Of Northh1,t7
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-5| J: C J Orr(7)| T: M Mulvany
100/1
Showed some gradual improvement in three bumpers, though a bit disappointing at Clonmel last month on fourth start. Well held on hurdling debut at Gowran Park last month and easily dismissed here in first-time tongue-tie.
Kalanisi mare who was a tailed off 17th of 19 on hurdling debut last month and that form doesn't warrant support here.
24
Horse silk
My Peggy17
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-5| J: D E Mullins| T: N G Hynds
66/1
Standout effort in bumpers when 7L second of 8 to Carrie des Champs at Perth in August, but arguably flattered by that when beaten 33L on hurdling debut here last month. Liable to find a couple stronger.

13:55 Fairyhouse - 1 December 2018 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

The writing could be on the wall in the early stages here if jockey Davy Russell has COLUMN OF FIRE up with the leaders enabling the €115,000 purchase to follow-up his facile bumper win at Navan last month. Diamond Hill from the Willie Mullins yard and the likable Roseriver Has, third of 25 in this contest 12-months ago, look more than capable of hitting the frame. Third of 11 here this month, Trump Card could go well at a price.
