Snugsborough Hallh20
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-12| J: D J Mullins| T: L P Cusack| OR:  110
3/1
Successful on his penultimate outing over an extended 2m4f at Punchestown (good) in May but disappointing when pulled up in a competitive handicap contest at Galway last time out. Interesting if putting that effort behind him.

8/1
Eight race maiden but not beaten far in a maiden hurdle on good ground here last time out. Had just the three outings over hurdles so far but more needed if he's to break his maiden in this.

Age: 5|  Weight: 11-6| J: Mr L P Gilligan(7)| T: B Cawley| OR:  104| CD
3/1
Point-to-point winner in March and progressing well over hurdles winning at the fourth attempt when successful over C&D on good ground earlier this month. One for the shortlist in this.

14/1
13 race maiden over hurdles and fell early on at Killarney on soft ground when last in action back in May. Represents a leading stable here but others look more likely winners of this.

Darkest Flyer28
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-2| J: Sean Flanagan| T: N Meade| OR:  100| BF
11/10
In good form since joining this yard winning off a mark of 86 at Limerick (good) and short of room at a crucial stage when finishing runner-up stepped up to 2m6f at Ballinrobe (good) three days later. One to note in this.

Forecasts

Darkest Flyer (11/10), Snugsborough Hall (3/1), Nellie Pledge (3/1), Cluan Dara (8/1), Ashjan (12/1), Rock Lobster (14/1), Eiri Na Casca (14/1), Unchago (25/1)

Verdict

NELLIE PLEDGE put in a career best performance in winning here last time out and she can follow up that victory with success in this novice hurdle. The selection won on yielding-to-soft ground in point-to-points so the softer surface here shouldn't inconvenience her and she can defeat Darkest Flyer who has run well in two races since switching to this yard last month. Snugsborough Hall disappointed at Galway last time but had run well in defeating 23 rivals prior to that and can take third here.
  1. Nellie Pledge
  2. Darkest Flyer
  3. Snugsborough Hall
