Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: J C Gainford⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs D Foster| OR: 121

4/1

Fairly useful hurdler. 8/13, didn't need to be at best when winning 13-runner novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (19.4f, good) 81 days ago, comfortably. Can get involved again.

Form: 28/4331-

Gladiatorial⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: J S McGarvey| T: N C Kelly| OR: 116| BF| C

11/4

Fairly useful hurdler, off the mark over 21.8f here in May. Good second of 6 in novice hurdle (4/6) at Cartmel (22.1f, good) 45 days ago. Down in trip. Progressing well recently and respected.

Form: 3553-12

Marajman⁴⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins

8/11

Fairly useful hurdler. 10/3, stepped up markedly on comeback run when second of 6 in minor event hurdle at Ballinrobe (18.2f, heavy) 49 days ago. Expected to be bang there.

Form: 31/0-2

Rocky Court³⁰

Age: 12| Weight: 12-0| J: D J Hand⁽⁷⁾| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 107| D

33/1

Fairly useful chaser. Eleven runs since last win in 2018. 6/1, sixth of 7 in handicap hurdle at this course (17.3f, good) 30 days ago. Others make greater appeal.

Form: 2432-56

Clifftop³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Brian Hayes| T: H Rogers

28/1

Modest Flat winner who didn't show much during first stint over hurdles late last year and whilst he arrives fit and in form from the Flat, he's hard to fancy in this line up.

Form: 960-

Forecasts

Marajman (8/11), Gladiatorial (11/4), Buddy Rich (4/1), Benbulben Boy (7/1), Clifftop (28/1), Rocky Court (33/1)

MARAJMAN proved he retains his ability when runner-up in a Ballinrobe minor event in May and a repeat should see him firmly in the mix again. Buddy Rich and Gladiatorial may be the pair to give the selection most to think about.
