Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: D J O'Keeffe| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 135| D

25/1

Useful hurdler (won 2022 Imperial Cup) who resumed winning ways on the Flat at Ballinrobe (12.8f) in July but failed to beat a rival in pair of outings in that sphere subsequently. Return to timber needs to perk him up considerably.

Hms Seahorse⁴⁰⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: S F O'Keeffe| T: P Nolan| OR: 134| BF| CD

22/1

C&D winner who was best excused the run when last of 5 in minor event hurdle at Thurles (23f, soft) last autumn, found to be amiss post-race. Absent since and the market can prove a useful guide as to expectations back from 13 months off.

Form: 33104/5-

Volantis¹²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: K M Donoghue| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 134| CD

15/2

C&D winner. Career best when winning 15-runner handicap hurdle (4/1) at Galway (16f, soft) 121 days ago, not clear run before 2 out and produced to lead on line. Remains lightly raced and his profile in handicaps is a positive.

Form: 41/226-1

Enniskerry^t²⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-1| J: S W Flanagan| T: B Connell| OR: 132| D

13/2

Smart winner at 18f in chases. Lower in weights in this sphere and returned with a respectable sixth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, good to soft) 29 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Each-way possibilities.

Form: 11P/73-6

Glan⁶⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: C P Millar⁽⁵⁾| T: G Elliott| OR: 132| CD

20/1

C&D winner. Tenth of 11 in handicap (28/1) at Listowel (9f, good to soft) 69 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles but others make greater appeal on balance.

Form: 51P00-0

So Scottish^t¹²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: M P Walsh| T: E Mullins| OR: 132| D

9/2

Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Good second of 18 in handicap hurdle (10/1) at Galway (22.5f, soft) 120 days ago, faring best of those held up. Tongue strap back on and he's likely to be competitive again back down in trip.

Form: 00-2452

Icare Desbois⁶⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: P Townend| T: W P Mullins| OR: 129| CD

8/1

Bit below form 13½ lengths ninth of 15 to Frankendael in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Listowel (16f, soft) 65 days ago, weakening from 2 out. Needs to get back on track following a 2-month break.

Form: 1-U2769

Frankendael^h⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: C P McNamara| T: E McNamara| OR: 126| D

15/2

Fairly useful Flat winner who proved upwardly mobile over hurdles this summer, off the mark in a Ballinrobe maiden and following up impressive on handicap debut at Listowel (2m) in September. Good third on Flat at Gowran in October and likely there's more to come back in this sphere.

Form: 6311

Little Mixup^p1³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: M M McDonagh| T: D Hogan| OR: 125| D

80/1

Struggling for form over hurdles this summer and not took to chasing in trio of starts in October, refusing at the second for the latest of them at Galway. Return to timber needs to have positive effect now.

Form: P-60UUR

Effernock Fizz^p,t¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: G Brouder⁽⁵⁾| T: C Collins| OR: 123| CD

16/1

C&D winner. Latest win in hurdle here in March. Sixth of 7 in minor event at Dundalk (10.7f, 80/1) 16 days ago. Entitled to be sharper given that was her first start for 5 months but others appeal more in any case.

Form: 3100-64

Media Naranja¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Sam Ewing| T: G Elliott| OR: 122| D

14/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 7/1, got back on track following 5 months off when respectable fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Navan (16.2f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Enters calculations.

Form: 4-32564

Cappucino⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: M J M O'Sullivan| T: Liz Doyle| OR: 121| D

8/1

2 wins from 2 runs this season. 10/11, career best when winning 10-runner novice hurdle at Punchestown (16.3f, good) 46 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut and feasible to think there's further progress in the offing. Not taken lightly.

Form: 4/236-11

Washington⁵¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-4| J: P N O'Brien| T: Harry Derham| OR: 121| D

4/1

Capitalised on much reduced mark after 11 months off/following wind surgery when making a winning debut for Harry Denham in 7-runner Chepstow handicap (2m) 51 days ago. Nudged up only 3 lb and he's an interesting runner here.

Forecasts

Washington (4/1), So Scottish (9/2), Enniskerry (13/2), Telecon (13/2), Volantis (15/2), Frankendael (15/2), Icare Desbois (8/1), Cappucino (8/1), Best Years Yet (8/1), Media Naranja (14/1), Effernock Fizz (16/1), Glan (20/1), Hms Seahorse (22/1), Suprise Package (25/1), Little Mixup (80/1)

Typically competitive fair in which a chance is taken on British-raider WASHINGTON. He capitalised on a much-reduced mark and justified strong support in the process at Chepstow in October and a 3 lb rise should see Harry Denham's 8-y-o competitive once more. Frankendael heads up the dangers given his positive profile, ahead of Telecon. So Scottish and Volantis complete the shortlist.
