Autumn Berry^t¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr M J O'Hare⁽³⁾| T: B R Hamilton

10/1

66/1 third in C&D bumper last term was first form following two poor runs in maiden hurdles last year. May be going the right way now and another fair effort is not out of the question.

Form: P0-3

Pencreek¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins| BF

11/2

Top yard won this race last year with an odds-on favourite. Half-brother to two French chase winners. Favourite but just one pace from 2 out on debut at Ballinrobe recently when 15-length third. Ordinary form but should improve and be thereabouts.

Form: 3

Ya Boy Ya⁸⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr J W Kenny⁽⁷⁾| T: C Bowe

9/2

2-5 between the flags and scored last time in June at Ballingarry. Rules debut and will be interesting to see if he finds favour in the market for shrewd connections.

Form: 4123-1

Home And Away¹³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Ms L O'Neill| T: G Elliott

14/1

Very poor form and failed to complete in two starts in points for Daniel Murphy. First Rules outing and debut for top jumps yard but is very hard to enthuse on evidence thus far unless market speaks in her favour.

Form: UP-

Mystery Stowaway¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr D G Lavery⁽³⁾| T: J P Ryan

5/4

Failed by just a short-head over C&D on Rules debut in July, then ran well again when second at Tramore last time. Seems sure to be in the thick of the action once again.

Form: P22

Stowaway Sarah²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: R Deegan⁽⁵⁾| T: P A Fahy

5/2

Placed 3-7 bumpers, including last time when third at Galway. Seems rather one paced in closing stages so may again find one or two too good for her.

Form: 3-54343

Forecasts

Mystery Stowaway (5/4), Stowaway Sarah (5/2), Ya Boy Ya (9/2), Pencreek (11/2), Autumn Berry (10/1), Home And Away (14/1), Lady Maureen (20/1)

MYSTERY STOWAWAY only just missed out here on debut earlier this summer and again ran well when second recently at Tramore. She can prove too good for Pencreek, who represnts last year's powerful winning yard and is likely to improve on his debut third at Ballinrobe and make a race of it. Stowaway Sarah has been placed a few times and might again be pushing for one of the minor honours, while recent course third Autumn Berry, and dual point winner Ya Boy Ya are others in with a squeak.
