Jordans^h²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: R Deegan| T: J P O'Brien| BF| D

11/4

Promising sort. First run since leaving Mlle D. Mele when second of 6 in novice chase (2/1) at Listowel (17.7f, good) on IRE debut 24 days ago. Should continue to give a good account.

Form: 44265-2

Monbeg Park^p,t⁴⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: J C Gainford| T: S Doyle| OR: 133| C

9/2

Useful hurdler. Latest win in chase at Wexford in July. 5/1, creditable second of 6 in novice chase at Wexford (19.4f, good to soft) 47 days ago. That puts him in the mix.

Form: 50-5142

Rainbow Trail¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: J W Kennedy| T: G Elliott

10/3

Fairly useful hurdler who matched that form when winning 5-runner novice chase at Gowran (20f, good to firm, 8/1) on debut over fences 11 days ago, driven out. Open to progress.

Form: 17215-1

Air Drop²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Sam Ewing| T: G Elliott

33/1

Fairly useful chaser. Good third of 6 in novice chase (9/1) at Listowel (17.7f, good) 24 days ago. Getting better with each recent run over the larger obstacles but this is a tough ask.

Form: 1PP-733

Broomfield Bijou²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: D Meyler| T: J P Dempsey| C

5/1

Fairly useful winner at 17f over hurdles. Made a winning chase debut but possibly amiss when pulled up in novice chase (5/2) at Listowel (19.4f, soft) 21 days ago, folding soon after 4 out.

Form: 2380-1P

Must Be Dreaming^p,t²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: J P Shinnick| T: G Ahern| OR: 101

100/1

Fair chaser. 13/2, improved to win 9-runner handicap chase at Tramore (16f, good) 28 days ago, cruising clear. Very hard to make a case for at this level.

Form: 704591

Pink In The Park²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: D E Mullins| T: W P Mullins| C

7/2

Fairly useful winner at 19f over hurdles. 9/2, creditable second of 5 in novice chase at Listowel (19.4f, soft) 21 days ago, no match for winner. Major player on these terms.

Form: 850-142

Forecasts

Jordans (11/4), Rainbow Trail (10/3), Pink In The Park (7/2), Monbeg Park (9/2), Broomfield Bijou (5/1), Air Drop (33/1), Must Be Dreaming (100/1)

Not the strongest of graded contests, with PINK IN THE PARK just about the pick having got back on track when runner-up at Listowel 3 weeks ago. Jordans and Monbeg Park are feared most.
