Selected odds by:

Brindabella³⁶⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr R W Barron⁽⁷⁾| T: W J Austin

66/1

Daughter of Getaway from a decent family but has toiled in two career bumper starts at Punchestown and Navan. Unlikely to play a part in the finish.

Form: 00-

Creadan Belle⁶⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Ms L O'Neill| T: G Elliott

33/1

First foal out of a fairly moderate dam (Aliceaneileen); 10L second of eight in a bumper at Hexham in October on third start. Can go well though likely must improve to win.

Form: 642

Dylan Rock^h1²¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr E P O'Brien⁽⁷⁾| T: S O O'Brien

66/1

By Getaway out of a Luso mare. Failed to finish in two point-to-point contests and last home in a bumper at Clonmel in May. Off since.

Form: BP/0

Good Scent^t¹³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr T Hamilton⁽⁵⁾| T: J P O'Brien

10/11

Doyen mare, agonisingly denied in summer bumpers at Killarney and Galway, going equally well on good/soft ground. Likely has more to come and player here again.

Form: 22

Inagh's Gift²⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr A J Fox| T: P Nolan

10/1

Daughter of Oscar out of a Broken Hearted mare. Placed at Fairyhouse in April on debut and not spotted since. Worth a market check here.

Form: 3-

Kaletto³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr D O'Connor| T: M L Fagan

14/1

Kalanisi mare, improved to win a point-to-point last month on fourth start in that sphere, commands a look in the betting now on first rules outing.

Form: F-421

Pont Aval⁹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins| BF

4/1

Daughter of Soldier Of Fortune out of a Kahyasi mare. Half-sister to winners Flying Tiger, Mega Fortune and Icario. Faded to finish third on debut at Galway in September, offering something to build on for sure.

Form: 3

Shantou Bay³⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: R Deegan⁽⁵⁾| T: A Mullins

14/1

Shantou filly, offered something to work with when fourth of 14 in a Punchestown bumper over 2m2f back on New Year's Eve, something of a worry that she hasn't been spotted since. Market will reveal more.

Form: 4-

Duibheach Alainn³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr F Maguire⁽³⁾| T: Miss E Doyle

20/1

Oscar mare, half-sister to temperamental hurdler/chaser All The Way Home. Beaten 13L here last month on debut, finishing seventh of 15. Could build on that effort now.

Form: 7

Final Witness³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr R P Quinlan⁽³⁾| T: J F Robinson

100/1

Stoutly bred, being by Witness Box out of an unraced Milan mare. Well fended off here last month on debut and likely will require a stiffer stamina test to be at her best.

Form: U0

Jeremys Flame⁷⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr M J O'Hare⁽³⁾| T: G P Cromwell

9/1

Jeremy filly, run competitive races in pair of bumpers at Galway early in the autumn, making the frame in the second of those, certainly not out of things.

Form: 43

Miss Aloud^h⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr J J Codd| T: G Elliott

10/1

Running well in defeat since August but appears to find a couple better with great regularity. Hard to fancy having run out and lost rider at Galway in October.

Forecasts

Good Scent (10/11), Pont Aval (4/1), Jeremys Flame (9/1), Miss Aloud (10/1), Inagh's Gift (10/1), Shantou Bay (14/1), Kaletto (14/1), Duibheach Alainn (20/1), Creadan Belle (33/1), Dylan Rock (66/1), Brindabella (66/1), Final Witness (100/1), Caddy Shack (100/1)

GOOD SCENT is a shade unlucky not be off the mark in this sphere, Joseph O'Brien's mare having finished a close second in two summer starts. She is back from a break now and won't mind ground conditions, however they come at her. This is a good chance for her to get on the board. Creadan Belle was second at Hexham in October and is likely to raise another challenge while Pont Aval showed enough at Galway to suggest there will be progress in her as the season goes on. Inagh's Gift needs a market check back from a break, though Miss Aloud rather blotted her copybook at Galway last time and will command plenty of Jamie Codd's skills here.
