Here Comes Johny⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 12-2| J: Lewis Stones⁽⁷⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 127| D

15/8

Point winner who was successful on his first 2 outings over hurdles and was still close up when stumbling on landing 2 out at Bangor last time. May yet do better.

Form: 71-2113

Bannixtown Boy¹⁰²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: N F Houlihan⁽⁷⁾| T: R Rowe

18/1

Maiden Irish pointer who has only hinted at ability so far under Rules. Hard to make a case for returning from a break.

Form: F24-7

Clongowes^t³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: J M Quinlan| T: D Steele

100/1

Useful at up to 2m on the Flat in Ireland for Jim Bolger but off for over 2 years prior to a couple of uninspiring displays over hurdles.

Form: 79

Coral Lad²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: James Davies| T: N J Gifford

25/1

€42,000 purchase who showed promise on debut in a Kempton bumper back in February and, though disappointing next time, offered something to work on when third in novice at Newbury on hurdling bow.

Form: 6-83

Kemble's Cascade²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr Caoilin Quinn⁽¹⁰⁾| T: W Greatrex

40/1

Twice placed in bumpers but yet to offer any encouragement over hurdles.

Form: 2/53-00

Sheila's Spirit⁹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: J McGrath| T: D J Coakley

150/1

Showed ability in bumpers, third of 4 at Chepstow 3 months ago. Needs a good bit more if he's to make an impact on first try at hurdling, however.

Form: 50-43

Sublime Heights¹¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Tom Cannon| T: T Lawes

11/2

£35,000 4-y-o, Arcadio gelding. Dam unraced. Won sole start in Irish points (Sep 19). One to note if market speaks in his favour.

Form: 1

Tallow For Coal^t1⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden

4/5

Easy winner sole start in Irish points and positive start under rules when staying-on second in novice at Uttoxeter 52 days ago. Capable of better with tongue tie applied.

Form: 1-2

Wellntyne⁶⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Jack Tudor⁽³⁾| T: W Greatrex

100/1

Winning debut on heavy ground at Bangor (17f, heavy) in August but has failed to repeat that since, down the field in a novice at Carlisle a couple of months ago. Others preferred.

Form: 140

Forecasts

Tallow For Coal (4/5), Make My Day (6/5), Here Comes Johny (15/8), Sublime Heights (11/2), Bannixtown Boy (18/1), Coral Lad (25/1), Kemble's Cascade (40/1), Clongowes (100/1), Wellntyne (100/1), Loveyoutothemoon (100/1), Sheila's Spirit (150/1)

TALLOW FOR COAL was impressive in a point and, having found only one too good on his hurdling bow, looks capable of going one better with improvement on the cards. He could face a formidable opponent in Make My Day, who makes both his stable and hurdling debut having shown a useful level of form on the Flat for Ralph Beckett.
