11/8

Thirteenth of 18 in handicap at Galway (12f, soft, 50/1) 59 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Stable in good form. Blinkers on 1st time, tongue strap on 1st time. Plenty to find on form.

Form: 9000-00

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: D King| T: I Madden| OR: 90

33/1

66/1, respectable seventh of 19 in handicap hurdle at Galway (22.4f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Significantly back down in trip and likely to come up short once more.

The Virginian^t¹¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: D P White⁽⁷⁾| T: P Roche| OR: 90

16/1

Respectable fourth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19.4f, good, 14/1) 114 days ago. Not without each-way hope.

Form: 54966-4

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: G Brouder⁽⁵⁾| T: J Nash| OR: 89| BF

16/1

16/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Good thirteenth of 22 in handicap (66/1) at Navan (14f, good) 32 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Very good on last hurdle run. Merits consideration.

Form: 0096/2-

Jim's Cracker³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: P J O'Hanlon| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 90

80/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 13 in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (17.8f, good, 66/1) 35 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Very hard to make a case for.

Form: 075

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: C M Quirke⁽⁵⁾| T: M M McNiff| OR: 88

17/2

Respectable 13½ lengths fifth of 9 to Mr Sundancer in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (17.8f, good, 3/1) 35 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 0-3F335

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: S D Torrens| T: N C Kelly| OR: 90

33/1

100/1

Tenth of 14 in handicap hurdle (66/1) at Sligo (20.6f, soft) 40 days ago. Back down in trip. Others more persuasive.

18/1

Below form sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft, 10/1) 4 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Forecasts

Shahbaz (11/8), Single Edition (8/1), Moulane West (17/2), Malbas (10/1), Mr Sundancer (12/1), Way Down South (14/1), Mayos Vendangeur (14/1), Wendell's Lass (16/1), The Virginian (16/1), Arthur's Victory (16/1), Sayitfirst (18/1), Ask Cillian (18/1), Thunder Rose (18/1), Great Rainbow (25/1), Nakassama (33/1), Grivei (33/1), Jim's Cracker (80/1), Renard De Noir (100/1)

Former point winner WAY DOWN SOUTH hasn't troubled the judge in maiden hurdles but he is likely to be seen in an altogether better light now switched to a handicap. Single Edition was runner-up at Downpatrick recently and he is second choice ahead of Arthur's Victory and Mr Sundancer. A case can also be made for Wendell's Lass.
