Oh So Charming^t²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: J P O'Sullivan| T: D Queally| OR: 113

8/1

Winner in hurdle at Clonmel in June. Ran poorly when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (18.7f, good, 7/1) 27 days ago, struggling 4 out. Bounce back needed but that's possible.

Form: 4P3-41P

Must Meet Cecil^p¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Eoin Staples⁽⁷⁾| T: C Collins| OR: 104| CD

11/2

C&D winner. Won similar event after 17-month absence at Tramore in April. 40/1 and quickly back with former yard, let down by jumping when well held in handicap hurdle at Galway (16.6f, good) 10 days ago.

Form: 1-82270

Ovidstown Hill²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR: 98

9/1

4/1, showed more than previously after 10 months off when fourth of 10 in maiden hurdle at this course (17.4f, good) 25 days ago. Kennedy on for the first time and not taken lightly with further progress on the cards.

Form: 060-4

Angelsworknovrtime^t¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-8| J: A Harvey⁽⁵⁾| T: James Andrew Fahey| OR: 92| BF

3/1

One win from 29 NH runs. 5/2, didn't have things go her way when sixth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (18.9f, good to soft) 13 days ago, shuffled back circuit out. Worth treating as still in form but may have her work cut out nonetheless.

Form: 150-026

Mount Sinai³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: Brian Hayes| T: W P Mullins| OR: 116

1/1

12/1, possibly needed the run going without her usual hood after 6 months off when ninth of 13 in beginners chase at Tipperary (19.7f, good to soft) 37 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Stands out on form.

Forecasts

Mount Sinai (1/1), Angelsworknovrtime (3/1), Must Meet Cecil (11/2), Oh So Charming (8/1), Ovidstown Hill (9/1), Two Become One (16/1)

The one which stands out in this company is MOUNT SINAI, who ran to a fairly useful level at last year's Galway Festival and should come on from a recent spin over the larger obstacles. The unexposed Ovidstown Hill can give her most to think about, with Oh So Charming rounding off the shortlist.
