4/1
Failed to land the hat-trick last time out, but it was at the Galway festival, finishing a fine third of 12, beaten just 3L, behind the improving Top Othe Ra. Conditions to suit here.

Returned to hurdling last time out, following three chase defeats. The gelding finished last of six, tailed off in a Kilbeggan hurdle. Now slips below last winning mark.

5/2
Has been pretty consistent this spring/summer and was on the scoresheet again here on her penultimate start. Sixth at the Galway festival last time out. Conditions to suit, but still 14lb higher than last win.

13/2
Just one win from 21 hurdle starts is a major worry here from a betting point of view, but the gelding is nothing but consistent, a reason why the handicapper wont take a chance and still has him 7lb higher than last win.

3/1
Ability level appears to be only moderate based on three starts over timber so far, beaten a total of 46L in those contests and best passed over.

Won a Tramore maiden hurdle in June, before a promising second of 16, beaten ½L at Gowran Park. Struggled since off new mark of 99 - 13lb higher than last winning marlk.

Had only three runs under her belt but improved with each of them, before landing a maiden at Cork, before two heavy defeats at Wexford and back at Cork. One to pass on.

Age: 6|  Weight: 9-13| J: Danny Mullins| T: I Madden| OR:  93
33/1
12-race maiden, including three defeats over hurdles. Nothing of hope to cling to here, given the gelding was beaten 76L last time out after being sent off at 100/1.

Forecasts

Hello Sweetie (5/2), Banjo (3/1), Stormey (4/1), California Soul (5/1), Black Zero (13/2), Getoutwhenyoucan (20/1), Shes Flat Tothemat (22/1), Baby Bellini (33/1)

Verdict

Could be lone pace on here from Baby Bellini, with possibly, Hello Sweetie and Banjo in behind. There is sure to be support for the likes of Stormey, Banjo and California Soul, but I like the each-way chances of GETOUTWHENYOUCAN, who returns quickly to the track, back on a winnable hurdle mark and has conditions to suit.

  3. Black Zero
