25/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Tenth of 19 in novice hurdle (11/1) at Down Royal (16.8f, good to soft) on qualifying run in May. Switch to handicaps rates a plus starting out for new yard and interesting if the market spoke in his favour.

9/2

Winner in hurdle at Downpatrick in June. Very good second of 8 in handicap chase at Sligo (17.6f, good, 7/2) 46 days ago, going in snatches. Switches from chase to hurdles and he's not out of things.

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: J W Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR: 98

5/1

13/2, creditable second of 7 in handicap chase at Down Royal (16.4f, good to soft) 16 days ago, collared close home. Needs considering operating from much lower mark back in this sphere.

Form: 456132

Love Me²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: D J O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 97

14/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 4/1, improved on previous efforts when third of 14 in novice hurdle at Wexford (16.4f, heavy) 20 days ago. Likely there's more to come now handicapping.

Chicago Storm^p,t¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: D King| T: C Timmons| OR: 95

80/1

Fair winner at 10f on flat. Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. 66/1, nineteenth of 26 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good to soft) 14 days ago and he has it to prove returned to this sphere.

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: S W Flanagan| T: H Rogers| OR: 94| C| D

14/1

Career best when making a winning handicap hurdle debut at Fairyhouse (2m) in October. Below best returned to the Flat at Down Royal 11 days ago but she remains open to improvement back in this sphere. Hood goes back on.

Form: 7951

Malbas²³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: B W Harvey| T: J C McConnell| OR: 94

33/1

Remains a maiden after 20 NH runs. Bit below form eighth of 16 in handicap hurdle (11/1) at Sligo (20.3f, soft) 23 days ago. Return to this shorter trip in his favour and he's an each-way player from this sort of mark.

Form: 062-638

Garrick Painter¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: J S McGarvey| T: N C Kelly| OR: 93

100/1

50/1

Seventh of 11 on handicap hurdle debut at Downpatrick (17.8f, good to soft, 16/1) 58 days ago. Bumper winner earlier this year and it remains early days in this sphere but she does need to pull out more if she's to feature.

Form: 765567

Perfect Pupil⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: D E Mullins| T: S McConville| OR: 92

14/1

Improved when defying a 7 lb lower mark at Down Royal (20f) in March but disappointed back at that venue a month later. Not figured in a couple of starts back over fences since and percentage call is to look elsewhere returning to smaller obstacles.

Form: 9U18-06

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: K M Donoghue| T: Ian Donoghue| OR: 91| CD

80/1

Forecasts

Rightfolksplease (9/2), Someone's Wish (5/1), St Denis's Well (6/1), Papa Barns (13/2), Spanish John (10/1), Pearl Of Grange (12/1), Love Me (14/1), Perfect Pupil (14/1), Cleopatra's Needle (14/1), Mr Macphisto (14/1), Liberated Light (16/1), O'Faolains Glory (20/1), Fernhill Fling (20/1), Giant Haystacks (25/1), Whispering Hopes (33/1), Vairue (33/1), Malbas (33/1), Pepperpots (50/1), Adhuil (80/1), Chicago Storm (80/1), My Kurkum (80/1), Free Parking (80/1), Important Message (100/1), Garrick Painter (100/1)

SOMEONE'S WISH has an appreciably lower mark to work from in this sphere and, lining up following some solid efforts over fences, Gordon Elliott's 4-y-o is fancied to strike. Love Me, Cleopatra's Needle and Pearl of Grange are others worth considering, along with Rightfolksplease.
