Selected odds by:

Dontdooddson¹⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: C M Quirke⁽⁵⁾| T: D Collins| OR: 93

9/2

Attracted support and shaped as if back in form when third of 14 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (17f, soft, 12/1) 16 days ago. Must enter calculations.

Form: 5PU-773

Blackberry Jack³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: D J Gilligan⁽⁵⁾| T: D Leahy| OR: 91

11/2

Fairly useful performer on the Flat. Has yet to match that form over hurdles but probably needed the run after 13 months off when well held in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (15.5f, good to soft) 33 days ago. Worth another chance.

Form: 5765F/0

Applejack Poet²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: T P Harney⁽⁷⁾| T: Liz Doyle| OR: 90

8/1

14/1, creditable seventh of 16 in handicap hurdle at this course (18f, soft) 22 days ago. Edging down the weights and not ruled out.

Form: 8900-97

Neev's Dream^t¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: D J O'Keeffe| T: T Gibney| OR: 89

11/2

Creditable fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle (17/2) at Ballinrobe (17f, good) 18 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts again.

Form: 00708-4

Depeche Mo^h,t⁶²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: Eric Larkin| OR: 88

15/2

Modest maiden who ran poorly refitted with a hood in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19.6f, good, 28/1) 62 days ago. Tongue strap reapplied and will be a threat if bouncing back to form.

Form: 000-250

The Cooleen^t1⁷³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: D E Mullins| T: J P Flavin| OR: 91

22/1

Lightly-raced maiden who failed to justify support when ninth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (17.4f, good to soft) 73 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time and it will be interesting to see if his backers return.

Form: 800-09

Tincurra Lad⁸¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: D King⁽⁵⁾| T: W J Martin| OR: 88| CD

9/1

Form: 10900-0

Charlies Pride²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: S F O'Keeffe| T: Paul Power| OR: 88

13/2

Showed first form after 4 months off when sixth of 17 in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Cork (16.9f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Possibilities if building on that.

Form: 980-6

Essential Part^t²⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: P T Smithers⁽⁷⁾| T: P Roche| OR: 85

25/1

Fair maiden at best on Flat, looked a hard ride last time, and showed little over hurdles in the second half of 2022.

Form: 40000-

Mount Gable¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: E Dwan⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs J Cashin| OR: 84

50/1, thirteenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (17f, good) 18 days ago, never travelling well.

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: C Owens⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 87

80/1

Cracklinrose⁷⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: L Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: J P Ryan| OR: 80

6/1

Modest maiden who was too free after 8 months off when down the field in handicap hurdle at Tramore (16.8f, good, 13/2) in early June. Has a good chance if returning to the pick of her form.

Form: 2433F-0

BLACKBERRY JACK has yet to get anywhere near his Flat form in this sphere, but he possibly needed the run on his reappearance at Roscommon last month and is worth one more chance in a weak-looking handicap. Dontdooddson and Cracklinrose head the dangers.
