Qaasid^b1⁴¹

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: P Hanlon⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 100

20/1

Useful winner at 11f on the Flat. 16/1 and cheekpieces on for first time in this code when seventh of 17 in novice hurdle at Listowel (20.4f) 41 days ago. Now tried in more severe headgear and there could well be more to come based on Flat ability. Worth a market check down in a 0-100 handicap.

Form: U649-77

Tuckmill^b⁷¹

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr R M McParland⁽⁷⁾| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 100| D

12/1

Fair winner at 16f in over hurdles and fences but hasn't proved the most consistent. Below form latest hurdles start prior to unseating rider in handicap chase at Punchestown (16.3f, good, 66/1) 71 days ago. Remains to be seen if he's on a going day back over hurdles.

Form: 26156U-

Ballykinlar^t⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: John Shinnick⁽³⁾| T: Donncha Duggan| OR: 99

4/1

Much improved behind a progressive sort on handicap debut when second of 14 in handicap hurdle (10/1) at Kilbeggan (20f, good to soft) 40 days ago. Claims if he can build on that.

Form: 55640-2

Vale Of Glory^t⁵⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Eoin G Kelly⁽⁷⁾| T: A Murray| OR: 98

20/1

Hasn't stood much racing in past two seasons and never threatened on second start this season when tenth of 13 in novice chase (25/1) at Kilbeggan (20.4f, good) on debut over fences 56 days ago. Needs to improve on most recent form.

Form: 7P/65-60

Bursinel^p1⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: J C Gainford| T: C Collins| OR: 99

25/1

Looked to be campaigned with handicap hurdles in mind (not unduly punished on final qualifying run) prior to finishing last on the Flat in May. Still of interest now sent handicapping in first time cheekpieces, with Jordan Gainford aboard for the first time.

Form: 036-

Mephisto^v³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: S Fitzgerald| T: G Keane| OR: 92

18/1

Remains a maiden after 18 NH runs and underlined his inconsistency when last of 7 in claiming hurdle (7/1) at Sligo (18.4f, good) 31 days ago. Remains to be seen what mood he's in here.

Form: 0F69-37

Small Bucks^h²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Eoghan Finegan⁽⁷⁾| T: P E Collins| OR: 93

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden again failed to convince with her finishing effort having made a promising move forward 2 out, finished eighth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (17.8f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Others arrive with more solid claims.

Form: P-8308

Carla's Pet³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Philip Donovan⁽³⁾| T: D Collins| OR: 88

100/1

No impact on first run since leaving Eoin Christopher McCarthy when thirteenth of 15 in novice hurdle at Sligo (17.7f, good) 31 days ago. Hard to recommend unless market hints at an improved effort on this handicap hurdle debut.

Form: 95-0

Tasmanian Girl^t²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Cian Quirke| T: Aengus King| OR: 88

40/1

Had built up an all or nothing profile over hurdles prior to finishing sixth of 16 in a Flat handicap (33/1) at Limerick (8f, good) 20 days ago, not suited by the inadequate test. Tongue strap back on but plenty to find on most recent hurdles efforts.

Form: 7201-75

Prince Of Air^p⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: P J O'Hanlon| T: C Coakley| OR: 87| BF

7/2

Has been in fine form over fences since joining current connections and went close from lower hurdles mark when making a progressive sort pull out all the stops, second of 14 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (17.2f, good to soft, 4/1) 7 days ago, rallying late on. Remains of interest from 2 lb higher.

Form: 31-5332

Romella^p,t¹⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 11-1| J: Phillip Enright| T: Brendan Walsh| OR: 87

22/1

Fared little better over fences when 33/1, fifth of 16 in handicap chase at Tipperary (16.6f, good to soft) 10 days ago, going in snatches. Should be suited by the return to hurdles and can be more competitive here.

Form: 22719-5

Stormy Jenn²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Tiernan Power Roche⁽⁵⁾| T: P Cluskey| OR: 86

33/1

Little impact over hurdles and or on the Flat of late, finished eleventh of 14 in handicap at Down Royal (12.9f, good) 20 days ago. Something to prove back over hurdles.

Form: 30/4P8-U

Fear The Deere⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: C G O'Dwyer⁽⁵⁾| T: T Doyle| OR: 83

18/1

Maiden made little impact after 5 months off when ninth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (17f, good to soft, 12/1) 44 days ago. Is slowly coming down the weights but remains to be seen if he can capitalise.

Form: 60059-9

Grizabella^t⁶⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: K C Sexton| T: P W Flynn| OR: 83| D

5/2

In decent form over hurdles last year but unable to back up recent Flat win when seventh of 14 in handicap at Roscommon (12.2f, good) 60 days ago. Won't lack for fitness and no surprise to see her in the mix back over hurdles.

Form: 14567F-

Go Gill Go^b1,t³⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 10-9| J: Sean Flanagan| T: J Grace| OR: 81| D

12/1

12/1, below form seventh of 16 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (16.9f, good to soft) 35 days ago. Struggling for form at present and needs more with blinkers on first time.

Form: 3/030-07

Thats All⁴³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: L Quinlan| T: T Doyle| OR: 77

20/1

Maiden was competitive from higher marks last season and has given the impression that she's been working her way back to peak fitness, seventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (19.2f, good) 43 days ago. Handicapper has given her a chance and looks well treated on last season's form.

Form: 6370-97

Amron Diamond^p⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: M P O'Connor| T: J Motherway| OR: 73

17/2

Best run over hurdles with cheekpieces on for first time (on handicap debut) when third of 13 in handicap hurdle (7/1) at Wexford (17f, good to soft) 44 days ago. Solid claims if he can build on that.

Forecasts

Grizabella (5/2), Prince Of Air (7/2), Ballykinlar (4/1), Amron Diamond (17/2), Bannow Blaze (10/1), Go Gill Go (12/1), Tuckmill (12/1), Dream Shaper (14/1), Mephisto (18/1), Fear The Deere (18/1), Vale Of Glory (20/1), Thats All (20/1), Qaasid (20/1), Romella (22/1), Bursinel (25/1), Hidalgo Des Mottes (25/1), Small Bucks (33/1), Stormy Jenn (33/1), Danielle D (33/1), Tasmanian Girl (40/1), Carla's Pet (100/1)

THATS ALL was competitive from much higher marks last season and has given the impression that she's been working her way to full fitness. She may be ready to capitalise on her falling handicap mark, though chief danger Prince of Air still merits plenty of respect from his much lower hurdles mark. Ballykinlar and Amron Diamond both showed improved form on handicap debut last time, while useful Flat performer Qaasid and handicap debutant Bursinel are two to note in the betting.
