Run For Harry^p,t⁵⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Keith Donoghue| T: Mrs G Callaghan| OR: 117| D

6/1

Inconsistent form, eighth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (14/1) 58 days ago when folding in straight after racing prominently. Cheekpieces back on (replacing blinkers) but isn't one to rely on.

Form: 00-P208

Red Glory^t1⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 114| D

15/2

Returned to form with Tipperary success in July. Performed better than finishing position suggests at Wexford but finished sixth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (9/1) 51 days ago, not showing the same form as earlier this season. Could bounce back with first-time tongue strap applied today.

Form: 189-156

In For The Night²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr A P Kelly⁽³⁾| T: D McDonogh| OR: 111

20/1

Latest win in hurdle at Naas in April but remains an inconsistent performer finished last of 16 in handicap hurdle at Navan (33/1) 21 days ago, weakening after mistake 3 out.

Form: 0P10-00

Malbay Madness^h¹¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Patrick M O'Brien⁽⁵⁾| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 111| D

9/1

Career best when landing a double in a 13-runner handicap hurdle (9/2) at Kilbeggan (16f, good) in May before unseating rider 3 out when yet to be asked for effort at Downpatrick the following month. Could be suited by a strong pace here and dangerous if returning in similar form.

Form: 0861-1U

Tequila Talkin'^h²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Conor Stone-Walsh| T: P Nolan| OR: 110

10/1

Won a maiden hurdle at Wexford in July when hooded for first time but pulled up on handicap debut at Ballinrobe (5/1) when racing too freely and folding tamely in soft ground. Needs to bounce back but drop back in trip may help her settle better.

Form: UF/31P

Complete Fiction^p²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Peter Smithers⁽⁷⁾| T: J P Fahey| OR: 106

22/1

Fair Flat performer but hasn't matched that form over hurdles, finishing 13th of 16 in handicap hurdle at Navan (40/1) 21 days ago when racing off the pace and beaten after 3 out. Tongue strap removed today and will need to improve.

Form: 0/2-0560

Must Meet Cecil^v²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Eoin Staples⁽⁷⁾| T: C Collins| OR: 106| CD

7/2

Won this race off 2 lb higher in 2023. Arrives in good heart, finished 3rd at Downpatrick (17.8f) in a change of headgear (retained) 22 days ago, leading until late in a soundly run race. Solid claims, especially if getting his own way in front.

Form: 703633

St Denis's Well^t¹⁷⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Sam Ewing| T: Ian Donoghue| OR: 104| D

17/2

Won a handicap hurdle at Down Royal (2/1) in December but finished ninth of 20 in hurdle at this course (10/1) when last seen in April, failing to see out his race in with cheekpieces refitted. Goes without cheekpieces on return but could be interesting if back to form over the shorter trip.

Form: 21UP49-

Desert Haven^t³³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Donagh Meyler| T: N Meade| OR: 103| C

12/1

Has shown creditable hurdle form with two seconds and a third before finishing 16th of 20 in handicap at Galway (5/1) 33 days ago, shaped better than the distance suggested and showed signs of delayed recovery post-race. Worth another chance.

Form: 00-2320

Paul's Dream¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Danny Mullins| T: A Mullins| OR: 103| BF

3/1

Won at Wexford (16.9f) 35 days ago and twice runner-up since (one place ahead of Must Meet Cecil at Kilbeggan) and most recently second of 17 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (16f) at 9/2 16 days ago, keeping on but no match for winner. Should give another good account.

Form: 244122

Art Of Silence^t⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Kevin Sexton| T: G Keane| OR: 100| D

66/1

Not shown much since an absence, tailed off when seventh of 7 in handicap hurdle at Gowran Park (22/1) 8 days ago, losing touch from 4 out with tongue strap retained. Plenty to prove.

Form: 34188/7

Mary's Pride³⁰⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Sarah Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: E Cawley| OR: 99| CD

25/1

Finished 12th of 13 in hurdle handicap at Navan (40/1) in December when continuing out of sorts. Has been given a break but remains to be seen if he can get back on track.

Forecasts

Paul's Dream (3/1), Must Meet Cecil (7/2), Run For Harry (6/1), Weston (13/2), Red Glory (15/2), St Denis's Well (17/2), Malbay Madness (9/1), Tequila Talkin' (10/1), Desert Haven (12/1), In For The Night (20/1), Complete Fiction (22/1), Mary's Pride (25/1), Art Of Silence (66/1)

Plenty of pace on the cards and that could sway things in favour of MALBAY MADNESS who was still travelling strongly when unseating at Downpatrick in June and he can resume winning ways if returning in similar form. 2023 winner Must Meet Cecil looks solid and may make another bold bid from the front, while Paul's Dream arrives in good heart and should go well again. Of the rest, Desert Haven looks worth another chance, while Weston still makes some appeal on his third over C&D in April.
