Put two non-completions behind him when finishing 6L fifth at Wexford (good) over 2m last month. Races off the same mark here and only career win came over C&D.

31 race maiden but turned in a career best effort when finishing third of 14 at Wexford (good) last month. Has run fair races here in the past but others make more appeal today.

Well held in all seven runs for this yard including at Kilbeggan (yielding) over 2m last month. Finished fifth on that occasion and while less exposed than most he's likely to find a few too good here.

Finished runner-up over an extended 2m1f at Downpatrick (good) on final start for Tony Martin a month ago. Races off a 1lb higher mark here and interesting if turning out quickly have run here yesterday.

Maiden after ten starts and beaten 34L at Kilbeggan (yielding) over 2m last time out. Others make more appeal in this.

Ran well at Wexford on good ground the last twice including when beaten a neck off a mark of 84 a month ago. Since finished fourth at the same track and likely to run well again as he seeks a first career victory today.

Yet to trouble the judge in five rules starts including when unseating her rider at Ballinrobe (good) over an extended 2m on handicap debut earlier this week. Worth a check in the market here.

Broke his maiden on debut for this yard in a 2m handicap chase at Wexford (good) last month. Races off his 19lb lower hurdles mark today and likely to play a leading role in this contest.

Verdict

LITTLESTICKARUBARB finished runner-up on his final start for his previous yard in a handicap hurdle at Downpatrick last month and can take this 2m contest off a 1lb lower mark here. Mullinavat was a winner over fences last time out off a 19lb higher mark and is capable of finishing runner-up in this contest while The Irritator fourth and second the last twice at Wexford can put in another good effort to finish third.
  1. Littlestickarubarb
  2. Mullinavat
  3. The Irritator
