Selected odds by:

Crooked Tannie²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: C P Millar⁽⁷⁾| T: C Collins| D

9/1

Fairly useful bumper winner who raced too freely when ninth of 12 in novice hurdle at Navan (20f, heavy) on hurdles bow 24 days ago, weakening from 3 out. Step back down in trip can help.

Form: 73159

Queen Of Seduction¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: C D Smithers⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs J Harrington

22/1

Fairly useful winner at 12f on Flat. Showed some aptitude for hurdling when fifth in big-field Cork maiden (2m) last month and shaped like a non-stayer upped to 20f at Punchestown since.

Form: 5P

Cappucino⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Sean Flanagan| T: Liz Doyle

7/2

Fair in bumpers and ran to a similar level sent hurdling when third of 14 in a maiden at Tramore (16.8f, heavy, 10/1) 43 days ago. One to consider.

Form: 324-23

Coulrophobia³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: R P Treacy| T: N Stokes

250/1

Form: 899

Kings Hill⁴⁹

4/7

Improved plenty on debut form when fourth of 28 in a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good to soft, 50/1) 49 days ago. Sets the standard and this Supreme entry gets the vote.

Form: 04

Muhtaluza³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott

10/1

11/1, showed a bit under a considerate ride when sixth of 22 in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown (16.7f, soft) on debut 30 days ago, not knocked about. Should improve.

Form: 6

Snugsborough Chime

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: D P Maxwell⁽⁷⁾| T: J P Broderick

150/1

€1,500 3-y-o, Presenting gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 2½m) Kalderon.

Form:

Bee Bright⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Mr D Doyle⁽⁷⁾| T: T Doyle

100/1

Once-raced maiden. Twelfth of 18 in bumper at Punchestown (18.4f, heavy, 28/1) on NH debut 44 days ago. Makes hurdles debut.

Form: 0

Form: 0P

Littlebiggie^h⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: S D Torrens| T: R Hackett

13/2

Point winner. Achieved a bit more than on hurdling debut in a first-time hood when second of 5 at Fairyhouse (17.2f, heavy, 15/2) 43 days ago. Respected.

Form: 1-262

On The Spot⁸³²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: L Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: R J McGrath

300/1

Poor maiden on Flat and easily passed over on hurdle debut after huge absence.

Form:

Realtin Lonrach²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: J J Slevin| T: M O'Dowd

150/1

Ocovango mare. Half-sister to modest hurdler Occidental Lady. Sixth of 15 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy, 150/1) on NH debut 20 days ago, merely plugging on.

Form: 6

Forecasts

Kings Hill (4/7), Cappucino (7/2), Littlebiggie (13/2), Crooked Tannie (9/1), Muhtaluza (10/1), Queen Of Seduction (22/1), Bee Bright (100/1), Realtin Lonrach (150/1), Hollies Choice (150/1), Snugsborough Chime (150/1), Coulrophobia (250/1), On The Spot (300/1)

KINGS HILL was much improved when fourth at Leopardstown 7 weeks ago and the Supreme entry is hard to get away from here. Cappucino and Littlebiggie are feared.
