Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: G Brouder⁽³⁾| T: M Winters| OR: 106| CD

4/1

Arrives in fine form, landing back-to-back handicaps here last month, latest a 12-runner chase (16f, good to soft, 4/1) 14 days ago, digging deep. 6 lb higher now but looks sure to go well again.

Birdsandthebees^h³⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Peter Smithers⁽⁷⁾| T: P Roche| OR: 103| D

6/1

Limerick winner in April who shaped well, on first start since, when fourth of 13 in handicap chase (13/2) at Tipperary (23.2f, good to soft) 36 days ago, finding less than looked likely. Drop back in trip will suit and must enter calculations.

Form: 15251-4

Finnians Row^t,v¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: Patrick M O'Brien⁽⁵⁾| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 96

8/1

Back from 6-month absence when creditable 4¼ lengths fourth of 12 to Crowsatedappletart in handicap chase at this course (16f, good to soft, 14/1) 14 days ago, finishing with running left. Visor back on. Likely contender.

9/2

Latest win in hurdle at Listowel in May. Fair winner at 20f over hurdles. 13/2, respectable fifth of 13 in handicap chase at Tipperary (23.2f, good to soft) 36 days ago. Not out of things.

Form: 232-215

Walk In Time^p,t¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-1| J: S O'Callaghan⁽⁵⁾| T: D H Kelly| OR: 85

9/1

Below form sixth of 15 in handicap chase at Killarney (23f, good to soft, 6/1) 19 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 475-526

Doyen Flyer¹²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: H E Sexton⁽⁷⁾| T: J Barcoe| OR: 82

10/1

10/1, bit below form eighth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (21.8f, good to soft) 129 days ago, needing stiffer test. Switches from hurdles to chase. Still looking for first success.

Forecasts

Crowsatedappletart (4/1), A Nod To Getaway (9/2), Birdsandthebees (6/1), Finnians Row (8/1), Jumping Susie (17/2), Newtown Rambler (9/1), Walk In Time (9/1), Doyen Flyer (10/1), Chiefs Kingdom (10/1), Inchidaly Copper (16/1), I A Connect (20/1)

Preference is for FINNIANS ROW, who should be straighter for his encouraging return at this course a fortnight ago. The hat-trick seeking Crowsatedappletart won that contest and is not taken lightly, whilst Birdsandthebees is also of interest.
