11/2

15/2, respectable sixth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Cork (16.9f, good to soft) 11 days ago. No surprise to see another good showing.

Form: 790-546

Ardamir^p¹⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-11| J: D F O'Regan| T: P F O'Donnell| OR: 106| CD

33/1

C&D winner. Eighth of 13 in claiming hurdle at Roscommon (20f, good, 10/1) 15 days ago. Hard to recommend at present.

Form: 46P4-98

Elite Des Mottes⁶⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Gary Noonan⁽⁷⁾| T: E McCarthy| OR: 105| D

12/1

Latest win in hurdle at Limerick in November. Well-beaten tenth of 11 to Anna Bunina in listed mares event at Killarney (17f, good to soft, 125/1) 65 days ago. Held little chance at the weights then and bounce back distinctly possible here.

Form: 29131-0

One Last Tango⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: M P Walsh| T: E Griffin| OR: 105

11/2

Seventh of 9 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (16.6f, good to soft, 10/1) 46 days ago, shaping as if needing the run on the back of 5 months off. Expected to be much closer to form here.

Form: 21498-7

Double Talkin Jive^h,t¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| OR: 103| D

13/2

Below form eighth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (2m) 19 days ago. Career still in it's infancy with this yard at least and better showing certainly not ruled out.

Form: 37/F57-8

Ashqar^t¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: D L Queally| T: D Queally| OR: 101

18/1

One win from 30 NH runs. 20/1, creditable eighth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Cork (16.9f, good to soft) 11 days ago, never involved.

Form: 90-6088

Big Island¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: D E Mullins| T: W J Lanigan| OR: 99

14/1

Fairly useful Flat winner. Thrice-raced maiden over hurdles. 28/1, fifth of 15 in novice hurdle at Roscommon (15.4f, good) 15 days ago. Entitled to hold more chance now handicapping in this sphere but still needs to convinvce with his stamina.

Form: 005

Ballinlough Gale^h,t¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: S Fitzgerald⁽³⁾| T: P Martin| OR: 98

8/1

Bit below form sixth of 13 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Roscommon (15.4f, good) 15 days ago, bad mistake 2 out and ultimately doing too much too soon. Likely each-way player rather than one for win purposes.

Form: 09-0646

Masterstonemason^b¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: C P McNamara| T: F Costello| OR: 96

33/1

Latest win in hurdle at Limerick in March. Below form twelfth of 19 in handicap hurdle (22/1) at Cork (16.9f, good to soft) 11 days ago, going in snatches. Blinkers back on.

Form: 54P10-0

Tullypole Annie^p⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Jack Kennedy| T: P Flood| OR: 97| CD

9/2

C&D winner in May. Bit below form fourth of 14 in handicap hurdle (4/1) at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) 44 days ago, no extra run in. Expected to continue in form.

Form: 005-124

Itsabeautifulnoise⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: T Gibney| OR: 88

28/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time tongue strap on for 1st time, ran out before fourth on handicap hurdle debut at Downpatrick (18.8f, good) 6 days ago. Best treated with caution.

Form: 0-00R

Jazz Ranger⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-7| J: K C Sexton| T: James Andrew Fahey| OR: 88

20/1

33/1, seventh of 11 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (16.9f, good to soft) 9 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. More required if he's to figure.

Form: 6680-07

Berliet Express^t³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: J B Foley⁽³⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 87

6/1

11/1, second of 10 in handicap chase at Clonmel (16f, good to soft) 39 days ago, going second between last 2 and keeping on. Worth considering from lower hurdles mark.

Form: 090-362

Globetrottersivola^p1¹²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 87

66/1

Twenty fourth of 25 in handicap hurdle at Naas (15.4f, heavy) in March, always behind. Cheekpieces reached for returning from a break but he needs to step up a good deal to figure.

Form: P5F0/U0-

Reflectionist^t⁶⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: Sean Flanagan| T: D P Dunne| OR: 87

16/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Thirteenth of 18 in handicap at Gowran (14f, good, 14/1) 69 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Tongue strap on 1st time over jumps. Poor on last hurdle outing.

Form: 9700-

Flyaway Maggie^h1¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Phillip Enright| T: M Flannery| OR: 87

22/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 8 in novice hurdle at Tramore (16f, good, 11/2) 16 days ago, held when falling last. Needs to step up now handicapping.

Forecasts

Tullypole Annie (9/2), One Last Tango (11/2), Look Dont Touch (11/2), Berliet Express (6/1), Double Talkin Jive (13/2), Ballinlough Gale (8/1), Elite Des Mottes (12/1), Big Island (14/1), Boston Brahmin (14/1), Reflectionist (16/1), Ashqar (18/1), Jazz Ranger (20/1), Flyaway Maggie (22/1), Itsabeautifulnoise (28/1), Ardamir (33/1), Masterstonemason (33/1), Globetrottersivola (66/1)

A competitive big-field handicap with the vote in favour of BERLIET EXPRESS. He caught the eye over hurdles 3 starts back and, having again ran well from a higher mark when runner-up over fences at Clonmel 39 days ago, it would come as no surprise to see a good showing here. One Last Tango, with a reappearance spin under his belt, Double Talkin JIve and Tullypole Annie are others worth considering.
