Settings
Selected odds by:
Once-raced maiden. Tenth of 14 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good, 80/1) on NH debut 49 days ago. Up in trip and he's readily passed over.
|
Thrice-raced maiden under Rules. Tenth of 14 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (20f, good to soft, 300/1) 10 days ago. Impossible to fancy.
|
22/1, eighth of 15 in novice hurdle at Tipperary (25f, good to soft) 163 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Miss Elizabeth Doyle and it's probably best to look elsewhere.
|
Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. 100/1, eighth of 9 in bumper at Fairyhouse (16f, good) 13 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. Up in trip.
|
Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Eighth of 12 in bumper (12/1) at Kilbeggan (19.4f, good) on bumper debut 49 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. Runner-up here on penultimate start and should be in the mix.
|
Workforce gelding. Wears tongue strap. Interesting to see what the market has to say.
|
€5,200 3-y-o, Joshua Tree gelding. Half-brother to fair 17f hurdle winner Welonlyhavedone. Dam unraced. Doesn't appeal as a probable first-time-out winner on paper.
|
Twice-raced maiden under Rules. Fifth of 10 in novice hurdle (66/1) at Fairyhouse (20f, good) on hurdles bow 13 days ago. Place possibilities if able to build on that.
|
Twice-raced maiden. Ninth of 16 in bumper at Listowel (16f, good to soft, 7/2) 28 days ago. Moves up in trip for this handicap bow and appealing for top yard on account of the promise she showed on debut at Wexford in August.

Forecasts
Are You Around (13/8), Luck Between Us (2/1), Insouciant Dallier (4/1), Elsa Bay (7/1), Diaduit Buachaill (10/1), Snugsborough Force (22/1), A Mayo Breeze (66/1), Dunany Shore (100/1), Keaner's Boy (100/1)
Though rather disappointing at Listowel last month, ARE YOU AROUND had shown promise when third on her introduction in a Wexford bumper and she will prove hard to beat if able to get back on track now switched to hurdles. Luck Between Us is the clear pick for forecast purposes ahead of Elsa Bay and newcomer Snugsborough Force.
