Akmaam^t³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Eoin Staples⁽⁷⁾| T: Donncha Duggan| OR: 100

25/1

Shown fair form with two 4th-place finishes in maiden hurdles before finishing sixth of 16 in maiden hurdle at Killarney (25/1) 34 days ago in first-time tongue strap (retained). May do better now handicapping under a good-value conditional.

Form: 4476

Eyeeye^t⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Jack Gilligan⁽⁵⁾| T: P J Gilligan| OR: 100

18/1

Maiden in 25 starts (flat and jumps). Finished eighth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (17/2) 46 days ago without tongue strap. Tongue strap back on today but likely needs further leniency from the handicapper.

Form: P63988

Mount Ferns¹⁴¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: Sean Flanagan| T: E McNamara| OR: 99| CD

15/8

Well backed to win this race last year on stable debut/reappearance but has had limited success over fences since. Pulled up in field of 13 in handicap chase at Tipperary (15/2) 141 days ago after running no sort of race. Returns to hurdles and could prove dangerous on the back of a break.

Form: 817F6-P

Regards To Rose^t³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Gary Noonan⁽³⁾| T: E McCarthy| OR: 96

7/1

Placed in maidens but weakened to finish fifth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (22.8f) 34 days ago. Shapes as though she may benefit from this shorter trip.

Form: 8-32435

Kingdom Calling^h,t¹³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: E McCarthy| OR: 94| CD

9/1

Has shown little since winning here last year, finishing 10th of 15 in a hurdle handicap at Clonmel (22/1) 134 days ago. Returns to scene of sole success but recent efforts haven't suggested a revival is imminent. Engaged 4.00 Listowel Thursday.

Form: 80093-0

Hillstar Blues¹⁰²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: S Aherne| OR: 94

40/1

Showed encouragement when fourth of 14 in maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan (12/1) 102 days ago. Making handicap debut after seemingly being brought along with such races in mind. One to consider.

Form: 598-054

Inchiquin Maid¹⁷¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: John Shinnick⁽³⁾| T: T O'Brien| OR: 88| BF| D

11/2

Ran right up to her best on last start over hurdles and had been in good form on the Flat for previous yard earlier this year. Looks interesting back over hurdles on stable debut.

Form: 0/40292-

Jollybops¹⁷⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Mark McDonagh| T: D Hogan| OR: 90

33/1

Has shown little in three hurdle starts but has likely been aimed at handicaps. One to note for support on handicap debut.

Form: 890-

Courtbrack Boy⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Michael Kenneally⁽⁷⁾| T: T O'Brien| OR: 87

25/1

Has been too headstrong in three maiden hurdle starts, most recently 6th of 7 at Tramore (33/1) 40 days ago when hooded. Making handicap debut with hood now removed down in trip but hasn't looked the easiest of rides (yard also saddle Inchiquin Maid)

Form: 086

Randall Poets Lass³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: B Kennedy⁽⁷⁾| T: S Fahey| OR: 87

66/1

Modest maiden on the Flat and little impact over hurdles, ninth of 13 in maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan (50/1) 35 days ago. Needs to improve markedly on handicap debut.

Form: 9F-9

Roccabaker^t1⁹⁷²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Cian Quirke| T: D H Kelly| OR: 87

50/1

Lightly-raced performer who finished seventh of 14 in maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse (20/1) in January 2023. Makes handicap debut with first-time tongue strap after lengthy absence for new trainer and market should guide expectations.

Form: 707F7/

Meteor Storm^p,t⁵³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: J J Slevin| T: E M O'Sullivan| OR: 88

80/1

Has shown little form over hurdles, finishing 14th of 17 in handicap hurdle at Cork (66/1) 53 days ago in first-time cheekpieces. Needs significant improvement.

Form: 8006-00

Boston Bobby^p⁴⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Tiernan Power Roche⁽⁵⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 77

22/1

Showed form when second of 11 at Sligo (66/1) with first-time cheekpieces before finishing eleventh of 14 at Wexford (10/1) 440 days ago without headgear. The refitting of cheekpieces could spark a return to form if ready to roll after an absence.

Form: 00P/P20-

Shing Shilla^h⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Harry Sexton⁽⁷⁾| T: A Sexton| OR: 77

9/1

One of her better efforts when third of 14 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (17.9f) in a first-time hood (retained). Needs to prove she can back that up.

Form: 860873

Tea It Is^t³⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-3| J: Phillip Enright| T: D Hogan| OR: 75| BF

11/2

Maiden has three thirds and a second in last four completed handicap hurdles. Third of 9 at Sligo (85/40) 37 days ago, travelled well but found less than promised behind a subsequent winner. Cheekpieces removed today and merits serious consideration on recent form.

Form: 73F323

Masterstonemason^p⁶³

Age: 11| Weight: 10-0| J: Conor Stone-Walsh| T: F Costello| OR: 72| D

80/1

Finished 12th of 13 at Kilbeggan (66/1) 63 days ago, continuing a sequence of poor runs in handicap hurdles. Has now gone 23 races without a win.

Form: P0-0500

Stily¹⁸

Forecasts

Mount Ferns (15/8), Inchiquin Maid (11/2), Tea It Is (11/2), Regards To Rose (7/1), Lenjoleur De Palma (15/2), Shing Shilla (9/1), Kingdom Calling (9/1), Stily (10/1), Teds Corner (16/1), Eyeeye (18/1), Boston Bobby (22/1), Courtbrack Boy (25/1), Akmaam (25/1), Jollybops (33/1), Hillstar Blues (40/1), Roccabaker (50/1), Gather Yourself (66/1), Randall Poets Lass (66/1), Masterstonemason (80/1), Meteor Storm (80/1)

TEA IT IS has been consistent of late and he appeals most with the form of his Sligo third working out well. Mount Ferns was well-backed to win this race on reappearance/stable debut last year and could go well again following a break, while Inchiquin Maid ran right up to her best on her last start over hurdles and could be interesting on first run for a new yard. Of the rest, Hillstar Blues may have more to offer now handicapping.
