12/1
Impressive 8L winner at Navan (heavy) over an extended 2m6f in April and a couple of fair efforts since. Remains on a mark 9lb higher than for his latest victory and vulnerable to better handicapped rivals.

Killarney handicap hurdle winner on good ground over 2m4f 13 months ago. Well held on two starts for this yard this summer and wears a tongue tie for the first time here.

11/8
Made a winning chase debut at Wexford (yielding) over 2m4f last month and registered his first hurdles success here on good ground subsequently. Races off a 9lb higher mark here but open to improvement and likely to prove hard to beat in this.

9/2
Off the mark at the 11th time of asking in a maiden hurdle over an extended 2m6f at Killarney (good) last month. Makes her handicap debut today and worth a check in the market here.

9/2
Winning for the third time in 35 starts when successful over 3m1f at Roscommon (yielding-to-soft) in June and ran well when fourth at the same course the following month. Races off a mark 8lb higher than for that latest success today.

Victorious seven times in 69 starts and ran well when placed at Roscommon on good-to-yielding ground last month. Races off a 1lb higher mark here and sole hurdles success came nearly five years ago.

Forecasts

Market's Field (11/8), King Blue (9/2), Open To The World (9/2), Sir Ector (6/1), Small World (6/1), Kennedys Mor (7/1), Benkei (10/1), Seskinane (12/1), Adimelo (14/1)

Verdict

MARKET'S FIELD can complete a hat-trick by taking this staying handicap hurdle. Trained by Enda Bolger the selection appeared to have a fair bit in hand when winning here last time out and can defy a 9lb rise in the weights today. Of his rivals here Small World has been a beaten favourite the last twice but can claim second here under leading jockey Ruby Walsh while Open To The World is another to consider on her handicap debut today.
