Form: 992-901

10/3

Useful hurdler. C&D winner. Latest win in hurdle here in April. Pulled up in handicap hurdle (16/1) at Galway (16f, good) 96 days ago, so she needs to get back on track.

Form: 1141F-P

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: J W Kennedy| T: G Elliott| BF| C

11/8

Fairly useful hurdler. Course winner. Respectable second of 7 in minor event hurdle at Wexford (20.7f, heavy, 11/10) 9 days ago, clear of rest. Stable in good form. In the mix.

Two Shoe Tom^t¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: C D Maxwell| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 106

33/1

Fair hurdler. Tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving Peter Fahey when 11½ lengths fourth of 5 to Ciel De Neige in minor event hurdle at Sligo 11 days ago. This is a very tough ask.

Forecasts

Queens Brook (11/8), Ciel De Neige (11/8), Skyace (10/3), Wide Receiver (6/1), Two Shoe Tom (33/1)

CIEL DE NEIGE ran out an emphatic winner at Sligo earlier in the month and he looks hard to oppose here. Gordon Elliott has his string in good nick so his duo Queens Brook and Wide Receiver appeal as the two to chase home Willie Mullins's useful sort in that order.
