Settings
Selected odds by:
Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. 40/1, thirteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (20f, good) 52 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Has work to do.
|
Eighth of 14 in handicap at Listowel (16.2f, good, 25/1) 32 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Up in trip. Worth monitoring in the betting.
|
Below form fifteenth of 23 in handicap hurdle at Navan (22f, heavy, 33/1). Off 7 months.
|
4/1, won 8-runner novice hurdle at Wexford (20f, good to soft) 36 days ago, driven out. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Something to find on form.
|
Last of 18 in handicap hurdle (40/1) at Punchestown (16.4f, good to soft) 72 days ago. Back up in trip. Something to prove.
|
Creditable third of 16 in handicap hurdle (9/1) at Ballinrobe (22.4f, good) 38 days ago. Not taken lightly.
|
Two wins from 4 runs last season. Seventh of 9 in minor event hurdle (16/1) at Down Royal (17.2f, soft) 163 days ago. Eyeshields on 1st time. Others more persuasive.
|
Winner in hurdle at Downpatrick in May. 5/2, good second of 12 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (20.4f, good) 34 days ago, running on. Has to be taken seriously.
|
Possibly amiss when pulled up in handicap hurdle (22/1) at Punchestown (19.6f, heavy). Returns from 6 months off with a bit to prove.
|
Two wins from 5 runs last season. Latest win in chase at Perth in July. 9/4, fifth of 7 in handicap chase at Perth (23.8f, good), lame when. Off 9 months. Switches from chase to hurdles.
|
First run since leaving Adrian Murray when fourteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Killarney (20f, good) 52 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Worth a market check.
|
Tongue strap on for 1st time, career best when winning 7-runner handicap hurdle (4/1) at Roscommon (20.7f, good to soft) 24 days ago, shaken up to assert. Can make presence felt.
|
Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. 10/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (16.5f). Switches from Flat to hurdles. First run for yard after leaving Kevin Frost. Not discounted.
|
Visored for 1st time, creditable third of 6 in novice chase at Downpatrick (23.5f, good to soft, 4/1) 19 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Cheekpieces back on.
|
10/1 and hooded for 1st time, creditable fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (17f, good). Off 11 months. First run for yard after leaving Henry De Bromhead. Tongue strap on 1st time. RESERVE.

Forecasts
Ossifer Hops (10/3), Rebel Rose (10/3), Moonovercloon (10/3), Hartur D'arc (5/1), Watch The Weather (15/2), A Great View (8/1), Arabian King (10/1), Cerberus (14/1), Imperial Ruler (16/1), Quantum Realm (22/1), Pike County (22/1), Kashi (22/1), Tempo Chapter Two (25/1), Shanwalla (28/1), Priory Park (28/1), Given Wings (33/1), Quirt Evans (50/1)
Having opened his account in May, OSSIFER HOPS found improvement when second at Down Royal a month ago and he's likely to strike again before long, so he gets the nod over last-time-out winner Moonoverclover. Rebel Rose is another one to consider.
