Pack Your Bags^b²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Phillip Enright| T: R Tyner| OR: 91

5/4

Winner of his third chase when landing a Tipperary handicap over 2m1½f earlier this month. Without a win in 14 starts over hurdles but hard to resist in this company and in current form.

Form: P9117-1

Dicey³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Brian Hayes| T: Miss D O'Shea| OR: 90

33/1

Three race maiden hurdler who finished 10th of 19 beaten 18L at Cork last month. Sent off at 33/1 and 66/1 on his last couple of starts and probably best watched for now.

Form: 000-

Galuppi^v¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Miss J Walton⁽⁷⁾| T: J R Finn| OR: 90

16/1

One from 17 over hurdles and the Galileo gelding is becoming increasingly hard to win with. Reluctant to jump off on his latest start at Tramore earlier this month, eventually pulled up before two out. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 8320-2P

Casadel Sol^b¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Katie O'Farrell⁽⁵⁾| T: K Purcell| OR: 89

9/2

10-race maiden hurdler put in his best performance for some time when finishing third of 13 beaten 3L at Clonmel over 2m4f earlier this month. Can't be ruled out looking at the full card.

Form: 40479-3

Galardo^h⁵³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: J S McGarvey| T: E J O'Grady| OR: 88

8/1

Well held and never nearer in four hurdle starts to date including making heavy weather of his handicap debut at Fairyhouse over 2m last month. Hard to fancy on overall evidence and other appear more convincing.

Form: 79/0990-

Kilcolgan Rocket²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: K J Brouder⁽⁵⁾| T: S J Mahon| OR: 86

50/1

Without a win in five maiden hurdle starts to date, even failing to complete in two of his last three starts. Still looking no nearer to a breakthrough success.

Form: 07F0-P

Meet The Man^t1¹⁶³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: T Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: J Grace| OR: 86

33/1

Well down the field beaten at least 49L on four maiden hurdle starts so far, sent off at odds no lower than 50/1. Impossible to fancy against a number of rivals.

Form: 0/900-

Onefortherose^p1,t³³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Sean Flanagan| T: D H Kelly| OR: 82

11/1

Six-race maiden hurdler, yet to get within 14L of the winner of each of her career starts. First time cheekpieces unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.

Form: 80B086-

Celtic Dancer¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: C P McNamara⁽⁷⁾| T: E McNamara| OR: 81

14/1

Yet to win or even hit the frame in eight hurdle starts to date, including appearing to struggle in each of his four handicap starts over timber. Little sign of light at the end of the tunnel.

Form: 00P/00-0

Musical Ava²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: M P Burke⁽⁷⁾| T: J M Burke| OR: 81

6/1

Without a win in 17 starts over hurdles. Produced an encouraging performance when finishing third of 17 beaten over 8L in a Down Royal handicap at the start of the month. Place claims if repeating that form.

Form: 28F3F-3

Fly Round The Bend^t¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Darragh O'Keeffe⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Walsh| OR: 80

16/1

22-race maiden hurdler and no signs of improvement in three starts this year over a variety of trips. Difficult to uncover any positives.

Form: 0750U-8

Novel Character¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: C J Orr⁽⁵⁾| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 86

25/1

Below par handicapper on the Flat and well beaten when making no impression in four maiden hurdle starts to date. Market likely to reveal expectations on handicap debut.

Form: 0U9-0

Forecasts

Pack Your Bags (5/4), Casadel Sol (9/2), Musical Ava (6/1), Galardo (8/1), Onefortherose (11/1), Celtic Dancer (14/1), Fly Round The Bend (16/1), Galuppi (16/1), Novel Character (25/1), Meet The Man (33/1), Dicey (33/1), Kilcolgan Rocket (50/1)

Although still a maiden over hurdles, the J P McManus-owned PACK YOUR BAGS can get of the mark for connections over timber at the 15th time of asking. The winner of a Tipperary chase earlier in the month can hold off the attentions of the Kieran Purcell-trained Casadel Sol who can emerge as the biggest danger. If in the mood, Galuppi and Musical Ava can fight it out for the remaining prize money.
