Jack Hackett^v²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: Ciaran Murphy| OR: 127| C| D

3/1

Course winner. Good third of 14 in handicap hurdle at this course (24.4f, good to soft, 8/1) 29 days ago, the longer trip possibly stretching him. Remains on a workable mark and one to consider under Rachael Blackmore.

Form: R84-213

Il Courra^t³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: P J O'Hanlon⁽⁵⁾| T: C W J Farrell| OR: 123| CD

5/1

Latest win in chase at Limerick (19.7f) in May. Eighth of 11 in handicap chase (7/1) at Wexford (20f, soft) 36 days ago, always behind. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 448-148

Nick Lost⁸⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-3| J: Mr B W Harvey⁽⁷⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 118

15/2

Fairly useful at his best for Henry de Bromhead. Below that level in couple of hunter chase contests for S. McConville and never figured in points when last seen during the spring. However, made another yard switch ahead of return and market should prove a useful guide.

Form: 5P24-34

Arrycan¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Sean Flanagan| T: L P Cusack| OR: 114

5/1

7/1, good third of 12 in handicap chase at Limerick (22f, good) 17 days ago. Holding form consistently well this term and he rates a live each-way player again.

Na Caith Tobac^b1⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: B P Kennedy⁽⁷⁾| T: P W Flynn| OR: 111| BF| D

7/1

Bit below form eleventh of 18 in handicap (9/1) at Galway (12f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Switches from Flat to chase. Blinkers on 1st time. Respectable on last chase run.

Form: 50-6113

Pretty Little Liar^t¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-8| J: J C Gainford| T: D P Dunne| OR: 109

10/1

50/1, respectable sixth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16.5f, good) 10 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase.

Form: 11FP-46

Dontdooddson²²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: R Deegan| T: E McCarthy| OR: 107

10/1

18/1, first run since leaving Robert Tyner when good fifth of 10 in handicap chase at this C&D (good) 22 days ago, unlucky not to finish closer having been snatched up inside final 1f. One to bear in mind.

Form: P/1F20-5

Fill The Tank^p⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: Phillip Enright| T: Aengus King| OR: 106| C

11/1

Course winner. 28/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Galway (24.3f, soft) 6 days ago, behind when pulled up between last 2. Switches from hurdles to chase. Down in trip.

Form: 47P0-6P

Presenting Bonnie²²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: J P Ryan| OR: 104| CD

12/1

C&D winner. Four wins from 13 runs last season. 5/1, eighth of 10 in handicap chase at this C&D (good) 22 days ago. Must step up again to figure here.

Form: 4PP-498

Forecasts

Jack Hackett (3/1), Arrycan (5/1), Il Courra (5/1), Na Caith Tobac (7/1), Nick Lost (15/2), Pretty Little Liar (10/1), Dontdooddson (10/1), Fill The Tank (11/1), Presenting Bonnie (12/1)

A number in with a chance and it may pay to go with NICK LOST. He was operating below his best when last seen, including between the Flags, yet he returns on a potentially lenient mark on last summer's form for his new yard and it would come as no surprise to see a better showing. Jack Hackett and Dontdooddson are others to consider.
