Selected odds by:

Brilliant Light¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: P Hanlon⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Hanlon

15/2

Useful Flat winner at his best. 33/1, showed aptitude for hurdling after 18 months off when sixth of 20 in novice hurdle (33/1) at Galway (16.8f, soft) on NH debut 15 days ago. Possible he can build on that now.

Form: 6

Esticky End²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: D Robinson| T: Tom McGuinness

200/1

Unreliable sort. Eighth of 14 in novice hurdle (200/1) at Wexford (16.7f, good to soft) 24 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Can only be watched.

Form: P8

Expound^p,t¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: D King| T: D Hogan| OR: 105

12/1

Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. Got off the mark on the Flat in maiden company at Ballinrobe in June and remained in form in that sphere since. Could have more to offer returned to this discipline.

Form: 0P/64

Immelmann^t¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: P Townend| T: W P Mullins

11/4

Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (stays 2m) who offered little after 10 months off at Galway (16.5f) 18 days ago. However, interesting now his attentions switch to hurdling for his top NH stable and he could well be worth siding with.

Form:

Bright N Shine^t¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: J P Shinnick⁽⁵⁾| T: T O'Brien

20/1

Fair Flat winner, making GB/IRE jumps debut. Ninth of 18 in handicap (18/1) at Galway (12f, good to soft) 17 days ago, left poorly placed.

Form:

Serienmond¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: D E Mullins| T: A Mullins

18/1

Twice-raced maiden. 17/2, fourth of 16 in novice hurdle at Roscommon (15.4f, soft) 12 days ago. Level of Flat form offers hope for better still but handicaps could be more his bag moving forward

Form: 74

Someone's Wish³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: J W Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR: 98

13/2

Fair hurdler. Remains a maiden after 8 hurdle runs. 7/1, creditable fifth of 14 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (19.3f, good to soft) 37 days ago. Should give another good account.

Form: 05-0245

Arthur's Victory⁸⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: S D Torrens| T: J Nash

66/1

Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. 80/1, fell in novice hurdle at Punchestown (16f, good to soft) 89 days ago, looking sure to be placed (in clear third at the time).

Form: 707-F

Getawiggleon^h⁴¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: D J O'Keeffe| T: M Hourigan| OR: 107

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. 40/1, good fourth of 13 in novice hurdle at Roscommon (15.9f, good to soft) 41 days ago. Each-way claims for all handicaps are likely to suit her better in this sphere.

Form: 0-PF64

Hastily⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: J P O'Sullivan| T: Tom McGuinness

200/1

Once-raced maiden over hurdles. 300/1, pulled up in novice hurdle at Wexford (16.7f, good to soft) on NH debut 9 days ago, tailed off when pulled up before 2 out.

Form: P

Zefania⁵³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: A Harvey⁽⁵⁾| T: J C McConnell

9/1

Useful winner on Flat in Germany who left yard/hurdles debut form well behind when second of 14 in novice hurdle at Wexford (16f, good to soft) back in March 2023. Presumably not the easiest to train having been absent since but she could well have more to offer.

Form: 42/

Fremantle Doctor^t¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: B W Harvey| T: J C McConnell

9/2

Minor promise in 3 starts over hurdles and improved on those efforts when second of 11 in novice chase at Roscommon (16.5f, soft) on debut over fences 12 days ago. Feasible to think he could yet have more to offer back in this sphere.

Form: P/85-92

Comeragh Diamond

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: B Hayes| T: J Queally

80/1

Highland Reel mare. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart winner up to 1m (stayed 1¼m) Diamond Green.

Form:

Joueuse Royale^t1¹¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead

5/1

Placed both starts in points in March 2023. Offered a bit when tenth of 13 in bumper at Wexford (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 115 days ago. Makes hurdles debut and the betting may prove a good guide.

Form: 32/0-

Mrs Tk²³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: J J Slevin| T: L Fowler

33/1

Twice-raced maiden. Fifth of 15 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (18.9f, good, 14/1) 23 days ago. Low-grade handicaps promise to be more suitable on the back of this.

Form: 25

Forecasts

Immelmann (11/4), Fremantle Doctor (9/2), Joueuse Royale (5/1), Someone's Wish (13/2), Brilliant Light (15/2), Zefania (9/1), Cosimeasy (11/1), Expound (12/1), Serienmond (18/1), Bright N Shine (20/1), Ruby Mouse (25/1), Mrs Tk (33/1), Getawiggleon (33/1), Ryoma (33/1), Arthur's Victory (66/1), Comeragh Diamond (80/1), Esticky End (200/1), Hastily (200/1)

IMMELMAN was below his best on the back of 10 months off on the Flat at Galway 18 days ago but he very much appeals as the type to make his mark over hurdles for his top NH yard and he could be worth siding with to show the benefit of his latest run and come out on top. Brilliant Light, the returning Zefania and Expound are others to consider.
