7/4
Goes well here and has made the frame on all four visits since joining current yard. This trip and good ground suits and after finishing just over 1L behind from this mark in a handicap when last seen, he now switches to this grade with the aim of recording that first hurdles win.

Age: 6|  Weight: 11-2| J: Craig Nichol| T: R Dobbin
50/1
Point-to-point winner in May 2015 but disappointing under rules including when beaten 80L over C&D last time out. Impossible to recommend today on that evidence.

Highland Peakt126
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-2| J: Henry Brooke| T: Mrs J Stephen
50/1
Signs of ability in bumpers but well held in two hurdles starts so far most recently when 59L seventh over C&D on good ground last month.

4/1
Registered a double in point-to-points in April and ran well when third of 11 here in a bumper on rules debut two months ago. Fair effort on hurdling debut when 21L fourth over C&D last time and of interest once more.

Age: 5|  Weight: 11-2| J: Finian O'Toole(5)| T: Micky Hammond
25/1
Finished runner-up on heavy ground in an eight runner bumper at Newcastle in February. Disappointing since however and well held on hurdling debut at Cartmel (soft) last time.

15/8
Ran well when finishing runner-up at Ballinrobe (good) over an extended 2m1f last week. Disappointing at Punchestown prior to that and and interesting runner for a leading yard here.

Ebony Roseh10
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-9| J: James Corbett(7)| T: S Corbett
12/1
Best effort in five starts to date came when second of four in a first time hood on hurdling debut at Market Rasen (good) over this trip last month. More needed if she's to take this however.

Ginny Brig16
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-9| J: Callum Bewley(3)| T: Miss L Harrison
33/1
Signs of ability in three bumpers over 2m on good ground here this summer. Beaten 19L into fourth on the most recent of those and probably best watched on hurdling debut.

Forecasts

An Fear Ciuin (7/4), Skeaping (15/8), Special Prep (4/1), Ebony Rose (12/1), Wig Wam Wiggle (25/1), Ginny Brig (33/1), Highland Peak (50/1), Grey Storm (50/1)

Verdict

AN FEAR CIUIN has been running well in the main of late and ran to a good level of form when finishing runner-up here last time out. The selection represents a stable with a 27% strike-rate (3/11) of late and he can take this at the chief expense of Skeaping who put in a career best effort over hurdles when runner-up last time out. Of the remainder Special Prep is a dual point-to-point winner and can build on his hurdling debut here last time out by claiming third in this.
  1. An Fear Ciuin
  2. Skeaping
  3. Special Prep
