Defeated subsequent dual winner Knockmaole Boy when winning over an extended 2m at Ballinrobe (good) back in May. Also the impressive winner of a Killarney bumper in a three race rules career and likely to play a leading role in this.
Winner of two of his three hurdles starts so far. Beaten into second by Dorans River over C&D on yielding-to-soft ground last month and represents leading connections here.
Registered his second hurdling success when defeating Robin Des Foret over C&D on yielding-to-soft ground a month ago. Yard have a 21% strike-rate (10/48) recently and likely to prove hard to beat in this.
Shock winner of a maiden hurdle over C&D on yielding-to-soft ground a month ago. Came home 8L clear of his rivals on that occasion and interesting to see how he fares today.
Winner of a maiden hurdle at Tramore (yielding) over 2m5f in April and best effort since when third of 16 off a mark of 120 at Listowel (3m, yielding) last month. Worth a check in the market here.
Rated 74 when last in action on the Flat in April and made a winning return to hurdles when taking a maiden contest over 2m4f at Gowran Park (good) last month. Also placed behind Labaik over hurdles last autumn and rates an interesting runner here.
Winner of a novice hurdle over an extended 2m4f at Punchestown (good) back in May. Previously beaten twice off a mark of 116 and interesting to see how he fares in this contest.
Finished third behind Dorans River over C&D on yielding-to-soft ground last month. Had previously won over 2m1f at Punchestown (good) the previous month and likely to run well again here.
Winner off a mark of 100 when easily taking a 2m4f Down Royal (good) handicap hurdle last month. Had previously placed off marks in the high 90's and this looks a tougher contest.

Clara Sorrento (7/2), Dorans River (7/2), Robin Des Foret (9/2), Cook Islands (11/2), Product Of Love (8/1), Oakly (12/1), Ballyegan Hero (12/1), Triolet (16/1), Venezia (16/1), Brontide (20/1)
DORANS RIVER can repeat last months C&D success by taking this competitive looking novice hurdle. Robin Des Foret finished runner-up behind Gordon Elliott's charge on that occasion and he can fill the same position today while third placed Cook Islands and Ballinrobe maiden hurdle winner Product Of Love can fight it out for minor honours here.
- Dorans River
- Robin Des Foret
