Largy Trix^t¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Fergus Gregory| T: S R B Crawford| OR: 106| C

17/2

Modest hurdler who has disappointed on both outings since scoring at this track in May, pulled up over C&D 17 days ago. Bit to prove now.

Form: 04-415P

Story Rory^t¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: K Brogan| T: Robert Widger| OR: 105

6/5

Lightly-raced maiden. 7/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving Conor O'Dwyer when very good third of 7 in handicap hurdle at this course (23.9f, good to soft) on Tuesday.

Form: 6/7-6463

Pat's Pearl^p,t²⁷⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: William Marshall⁽³⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 100| D

28/1

40/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Thurles (22.7f, good to soft), struggling after 4 out. Off 9 months. Very hard to make a case for.

Form: 8FP85P-

Amberose^p¹²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Danny McMenamin⁽³⁾| T: N G Richards| OR: 100

18/5

Dual hurdles winner who struggled for form last season but last respectable effort did come at this track. Worth a market check returning from 4 months off.

Form: 8U5080-

Balranald^p1⁷⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Theo Gillard| T: Mrs A C Hamilton| OR: 98| BF

13/2

French Flat winner and though yet to strike following 12 attempts over hurdles for Keith Dalgleish, he didn't do much wrong when runner-up at Bangor last time. One to consider on debut for new yard.

Form: 3F524-2

Taking Flight²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Mark Galligan⁽⁵⁾| T: N G Richards| OR: 95

5/1

Still to register a victory, and down the field at this course recently, so hard to make a case for.

Form: 4P/4P-80

Forecasts

Story Rory (6/5), Amberose (18/5), Guido Reni (4/1), Hooroo (9/2), Taking Flight (5/1), Wise Coco (5/1), Balranald (13/2), Largy Trix (17/2), The Blame Game (10/1), Pat's Pearl (28/1)

BALRANALD ran well on his final outing for Keith Dalgleish and his new stable have immediately reached for cheekpieces, so he gets the tentative vote in an open race. Several of his rivals are entered on Tuesday night, but if Hooroo takes his chance, he would likely pose a formidable challenge to the selection.
