3/1

Found another chunk of improvement to win 15-runner Dawn Run Mares' Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham (16.8f) back in March but shaped like a non-stayer a month later. Respected on reappearance.

Western Victory⁴⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: D L Queally| T: D Queally| OR: 137| D

11/2

Useful hurdler. 2 wins from 5 runs this season. 11/4, career best when winning 9-runner listed mares event at Gowran (16f, good) 44 days ago by 10 lengths from Say Goodbye, unchallenged.

Form: 7-23121

Dysart Diamond^t³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: B J Cooper| T: W P Mullins| OR: 139| BF

7/2

Useful hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Listowel in September. 5/4, second of 3 in minor event hurdle at this course (18f, good) 33 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Should be in the mix.

Form: 00-2912

Heaven Help Us¹⁹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: D E Mullins| T: P Hennessy| OR: 144| D

4/1

Smart hurdler who landed competitive handicap before bolting up in the Coral Cup at Cheltenham. Didn't get home here in April but she's the one to beat receiving weight from her main rivals here.

Form: 544110-

No Memory²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: A McCurtin| T: W C O'Brien| OR: 128

22/1

Fairly useful hurdler. 6/1, career best when winning 17-runner handicap at Galway (11.8f, heavy) 20 days ago, keeping on well. Switches from Flat to hurdles and likely to find a few too good.

Form: 642-432

Royal Kahala²⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: K C Sexton| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 138| BF

10/3

Decisive winner of first 2 hurdles starts and lost no caste in defeat when 2 lengths second to Roseys Hollow in a Fairyhouse Grade 3. Finished lame at Cheltenham in March so can bounce back on return.

Form: 511129-

Lady Lingo⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Donagh Meyler| T: Joseph Hennessy| OR: 112

200/1

Fair hurdler. 2 wins from 5 runs this season. 100/1, 20 lengths fourth of 7 to My Mate Mozzie in For Auction Novices' Hurdle at Navan (16f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Difficult ask.

Form: 0-12164

The Getaway Star¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: J J Slevin| T: D Queally| OR: 125

12/1

Fairly useful hurdler. 4/1, creditable 6½ lengths fourth of 9 to Chicago Time in listed hurdle at Cork (24f, heavy) 14 days ago. Back down in trip. Up against it in this company.

Form: 27-1214

Forecasts

Telmesomethinggirl (3/1), Royal Kahala (10/3), Dysart Diamond (7/2), Heaven Help Us (4/1), Gauloise (4/1), Western Victory (11/2), The Getaway Star (12/1), No Memory (22/1), Lady Lingo (200/1)

A few in with a shout but if HEAVEN HELP US is in anywhere near the same form as for her demolition job in the Coral Cup at the Cheltenham Festival then she should take plenty of stopping on reappearance. Another Cheltenham-scorer Telmesomethinggirl is conceding 10 lb to the selection but she's feared most provided she's ready to roll on return, ahead of Gauloise and Western Victory.
