Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott| CD

10/3

Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. 8/11, career best when winning 7-runner listed hurdle at this C&D (heavy) 35 days ago by 2 lengths from Granny Lowrie with a bit in hand. Another bold show likely.

Form: 1/266-11

50/1

Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Best run when fourth of 16 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (19.3f, heavy, 16/5) 24 days ago. Up in trip. Very hard to make a case for.

9/2

Won 23-runner novice hurdle (5/2) at Naas (19f, soft) on NH debut 29 days ago. Promising and well in the mix now stepped up in trip.

1 win from 3 runs this season. Winner in hurdle at Wexford in July. Fell 4 out in novice hurdle (17/2) at Listowel (20f, good) 78 days ago. Worth another chance.

Forecasts

Monbeg Park (6/4), Letsbeclearaboutit (3/1), Cool Survivor (10/3), Hiddenvalley Lake (9/2), Senecia (33/1), Easy Fella (50/1), Camino Rock (66/1)

Marginal preference in a fascinating Grade 3 is for LETSBECLEARABOUTIT who was a very useful bumper scorer and made a highly promising start in this sphere when runner-up to American Mike at Down Royal. Naas debut winner Hiddenvalley Lake rates a big threat to Gavin Cromwell's Flemensfirth gelding, with both Monbeg Park and Cool Survivor in the mix too.
