10/1
Something of a character who has run out twice in two of his last four starts. Blinkers were fitted for his second start over fences last time, but his rider lost an iron and unseated so it was too soon to say whether they would have worked. Difficult to predict back over hurdles.

9/4
Raced against some top-notchers during last season's novice chasing campaign, but reverted to hurdles on latest outing when runner-up at Down Royal. Ratings give him evety chance and he looks to be the best of two runners from his stable.

Won two hurdles race for Willie Mullins before switching to current trainer. Had a warm-up on the Flat before running respectably on his return to hurdles. Enters calculations.

8/11
Three wins from 10 starts over hurdles is a fair strike rate and he showed his well being with a comfortable victory on the Flat at the Curragh last month. Has been set some tough tasks in handicap hurdles, but the conditions of this race give him every chance.

100/1
Fair Flat performer for English trainer Karl Burke, but has not shown a great deal of aptitude for hurdling in four attempts. Meets some talented rivals and will do well to land any sort of blow.

Forecasts

Tigris River (8/11), Automated (2/1), Marinero (9/4), Noble Inn (8/1), Lion In His Heart (10/1), Dalmarella Dancer (100/1)

Verdict

Marinero looks the better of the two runners from his stable and is respected, while Noble Inn should be able to make his presence felt in receipt of eight from three of his rivals. However, TIGRIS RIVER is suited by the conditions of this race and comes into it on the back of victory on the Flat last time. Automated has plenty to do off top weight, but is another coming into this followng a Flat success and is the most likely danger to the selection.
  1. Tigris River
  2. Automated
  3. Marinero
