One Last Tango²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: M P Walsh| T: E Griffin| OR: 127| C

9/1

Useful hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Leopardstown in December. 66/1, seventeenth of 23 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (20.5f, soft) 25 days ago, struggling before 2 out. Needs to bounce back returned to this shorter trip.

Form: 541070-

Feet Of A Dancer¹¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: P Nolan| OR: 126| C

11/4

Useful hurdler. Course winner. Two wins from 4 runs last season. Creditable third of 19 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (18f, soft, 11/2) 115 days ago. Absent since but still improving and she's well worth considering.

Form: 41/1013-

The Short Go^h²⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 125

5/1

Fairly useful hurdles winner who made the perfect start over fences when landing 5-runner beginners' chase at Clonmel (3m, heavy) in September. Absent since but sufficiently lightly raced to think he can do better again returned to this sphere.

Form: 223/161-

Aeros Luck^h,t²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 123

10/3

Fairly useful hurdler. 11/1, bit below form eighth of 17 in minor event hurdle at Punchestown (19.3f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Likely type to bounce back.

Form: 222168-

Dollar Value¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: T G McCourt| OR: 123| D

14/1

Temperamental sort. Good sixth of 14 in handicap at Navan (13f, good, 11/1) 11 days ago. Others rate stronger returned to this discipline.

Form: 163/056-

Lieutenant Highway²⁴⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Donagh Meyler| T: M McCabe| OR: 123| D

50/1

Fairly useful, 4-time winner over hurdles who displayed similar form when opening chase account at Roscommon last summer. Disappointed final 2 starts in that sphere and he needs to hit the ground running on debut for new yard/following 8 months off.

Form: P/5417P-

Dark Note²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr A P Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: A Slattery| OR: 121| D

10/3

Fairly useful hurdler. 14/1, respectable eighth of 23 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19.3f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Fancied to give another good account.

Form: 142628-

Diamond Nora^h,t⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: K C Sexton| T: D Queally| OR: 111

22/1

Thrice-raced winner over hurdles. 16/1, left previous exploits in his wake when landing 14-runner novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (17.6f, soft) 40 days ago, always holding on. Hood back on here but this is understandably tougher.

Form: 1001-

The Greek^b,t³³²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Sam Ewing| T: G Elliott| OR: 117

33/1

Useful chaser. One win from 2 runs last season. Latest win in chase at Punchestown in June. 10/1, fell in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (16f, good). Off 11 months. Switches from chase to hurdles.

Form: 2P10/1F-

Forecasts

Feet Of A Dancer (11/4), Dark Note (10/3), Aeros Luck (10/3), The Short Go (5/1), One Last Tango (9/1), Walnut Beach (12/1), Dollar Value (14/1), Diamond Nora (22/1), The Greek (33/1), Lieutenant Highway (50/1)

Already a 3-time winner over hurdles FEET OF A DANCER showed further improvement faced with her sternest assignment yet when third in a listed handicap at Leopardstown back in February. Appealing as the type who could do better still, she looks a solid option eased back down in trip. The Short Go on return to action and Dark Note are others to consider, with Diamond Nora likely capable of better also.
