12/1
Winner on Flat debut for Gay Kelleway at Pontefract back in 2015, but no win since and now on third trainer. Better efforts over 2m on Flat when last seen and chances if taking to hurdles on first start, but wouldn't want any rain, and overall is best watched.

French Flat winner turned in a respectable debut at Punchestown, jumping well but easily brushed aside in the finish, so will need to improve finishing effort here. With that, may require rain to stay away. Chances, but may not represent much value in market given powerful connections.

8/1
Wexford bumper winner last October and has performed with some credit in maiden hurdles lately, staying on to finish a moderate third at Tipperary latest. Not discounted but may find others improving past him if not building on that.

Winner on the Flat last October and won't mind any rain that falls, but form only moderate and best watched on hurdles debut here.

Low grade on the Flat and well beaten on most starts lately. Hurdles debut here and no realistic chance after an absence.

14/1
Not a bad effort when fourth in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse last October, but didn't build on that next time out and not seen out since, so likely to need this run after a long break and best watched.

25/1
Showed some promise on only hurdles start when fifth to Vanishing Point at Clonmel in early May, but bred more for speed and won't want any rain to fall. May be one more for handicaps down the line.

Has shown next to nothing in seven starts to date under various codes and looks to have little chance here.

16/1
Not totally disgraced on first run over hurdles at Tramore in April but not enough to suggest he'll be up to winning this. Others easily preferred. .

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-4| J: A W Short(7)| T: J S Cullen
100/1
Hasn't shown enough on either start over hurdles to suggest he's up to taking a hand in the finish here, and needs this for a handicap mark.

Global Racing16
Age: 4|  Weight: 11-0| J: Brian Hayes| T: J J Hanlon
100/1
Despite being well beaten on both start over hurdles, hasn't looked entirely hopeless and might be up to winning a handicap further down the line Too much on here, however, and best watched.

Age: 4|  Weight: 11-0| J: C A Landers(7)| T: K Purcell
100/1
Got no further than the first on debut but was a big price anyway, suggesting little was expected. Hood goes on here, but far too much to prove.

Denham Sound3
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-7| J: Mark Walsh| T: C Byrnes
13/8
It's a tale of steady improvement from her lately, and she turned in another solid effort at Kilbeggan earlier in the week, finding only one too good. May want the rain to hold off but every chance of success if it does, and this doesn't come too quickly after that effort.

Two early falls in her two starts to date hardly inspires confidence and others are readily preferred.

Forecasts

Denham Sound (13/8), Herminio (7/4), Play The Part (8/1), Basilisk (10/1), Statistical (10/1), No Secrets Here (11/1), Glan Y Gors (12/1), Chance It (14/1), Poppets Prince (16/1), Rolanna (25/1), Charlie Brown (25/1), Artiste Celebre (33/1), Global Racing (100/1), Trimmers Lane (100/1), Patricks Boy (100/1), Static Pat (100/1), Kennedys Girl (100/1)

Verdict

The weather could play a big part in tonight's card, as more is forecast for later today, and any softening of the ground could see some non-runners as the evening progresses. As things stand here, this looks a suitable opportunity for the slowly improving DENHAM SOUND after another solid effort in the week. Herminio represents a big yard and should improve on his debut effort. Play The Part and Chance It both hold place chances.
  1. Denham Sound
  2. Herminio
  3. Play The Part
