Jetara¹⁶⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: D Meyler| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 145

11/10

Useful hurdler. Five wins from 16 NH runs. Good 3¼ lengths second of 6 to Ballyburn in Champion Novices' Hurdle (16/1) at Punchestown (20.6f, soft) when last seen in May. This won't be easy under a penalty but she merits respect nonetheless.

Form: 111332-

Champella²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: T P Harney| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 133

13/2

Useful hurdler. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap hurdle at Listowel (20f, soft, 13/2) 21 days ago, driven out. Well worth her place at this level and she won't go down without a fight.

Form: 324141

Feet Of A Dancer¹⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: S F O'Keeffe| T: P Nolan| OR: 131

9/2

Useful hurdler. 11/4, career best when winning 9-runner minor event hurdle at Wexford (17f, good to soft) 143 days ago. Successful both starts at around 2½m and, with this new trip likely to be within range, she's a major player.

Form: 1/1013-1

Riviere D'etel¹⁷⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Sam Ewing| T: G Elliott| OR: 133

15/2

Useful chaser. Latest success at Fairyhouse in January. 10¼ lengths third of 5 to Apple Away in listed chase at Perth (23.8f, soft, 11/4) 178 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Yard also saddles Royal Eagle.

Royal Eagle²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: J C Gainford| T: G Elliott| OR: 131

18/1

Useful hurdler. 22/1, thirteenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft) 22 days ago. Significantly up in trip and she needs to bounce back.

Littlebiggie^h¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: L Quinlan| T: R Hackett| OR: 122

15/2

Form: 3-12224

Stormalong^t¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: S W Flanagan| T: D Budds| OR: 121

10/1

Forecasts

Jetara (11/10), Feet Of A Dancer (9/2), Champella (13/2), Riviere D'etel (15/2), Littlebiggie (15/2), Stormalong (10/1), Royal Eagle (18/1)

CHAMPELLA and Feet of A Dancer could be the pair to concentrate on, with marginal preference for the former who looked better than ever when making every post a winning one in a Listowel handicap three weeks ago. Feet of A Dancer made it 4-8 over hurdles at Wexford on her latest start in May and she will be a big danger if coping with this step up in trip. Jetara brings top-level form to the table and she is bound to be involved, despite carrying a penalty.
