Sure to have his supporters following two solid runs at Killarney when second on both occasions in competitive handicaps. Has ground and field size conditions to suit.

Ran well enough in a hunter chase in May, but has since been below par in two handicap chases over an extended 2m4f. Step up in trip may help.

Won a Killarney maiden hurdle in July. Last seen over the larger obstacles in December when sixth of 11 beaten 67L on her second chase start.

Winner of a handicap chase over 3m in July at Limerick when beating 15 rivals. Disappointed of a 5lb higher mark next time out here later in the month and pulled up last time out.

Beaten favourite last time out in a Tramore handicap chase when 14th of 16 beaten 43L. Others preferred on balance of form this season.

Won a point-to-point before taking a Downpatrick hunter chase by 5½L on good ground in May. Disappointed latest over hurdles but one to note back over the larger obstacles.

Black Jewel205
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-3| J: L P Dempsey| T: P W Flynn| OR:  93
33/1
Showed nothing and was mainly disappointing in five starts last season in all national hunt disciplines. Others make more appeal.

Age: 8|  Weight: 11-0| J: B J Foley(7)| T: Miss M M Gannon| OR:  90
50/1
Below par on all four seasonal starts. Hard to see where the eight-year-old mare is going to improve in first-time cheekpieces.

Age: 9|  Weight: 10-13| J: D J McInerney(7)| T: P Stafford| OR:  89
16/1
Disappointing in the main with just the one chase win from 13 in a Perth handicap chase in September last year. Others preferred with the gelding now 7lb lower than last win.

Age: 7|  Weight: 10-13| J: D N Russell| T: A L T Moore| OR:  89
7/1
Ran well in a Downpatrick handicap chase two starts back but has disappointed since with two heavy defeats the last twice. A check in the market would be advised with significant jockey booking.

Naughty Molly15
Age: 10|  Weight: 10-10| J: B T O'Connell| T: J R Barry| OR:  86| BF
13/2
Beaten favourite last time out when beaten a neck in Tramore handicap chase but has mainly been consistent in all three starts this season and is certainly one for the shortlist.
12
Horse silk
The Bay Birch15
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-7| J: Danny Mullins| T: F J Flood| OR:  83
7/1
Well beaten and below par on all five starts this season including 19L defeat last time out at Tramore. Hard to see any improvement with jockey change.

Last seen beaten 33L here in a handicap chase in June. Won his handicap chase back in October 2014 over 2m3f off a mark of 79 and is still 3lb higher.

Forecasts

Crocodile Dundee (9/2), Open To The World (6/1), Naughty Molly (13/2), Tb Broke Her (7/1), The Bay Birch (7/1), Double Windsor (9/1), Massinis Adventure (10/1), Misdflight (10/1), Shanklys Dawn (11/1), Cadawill (14/1), Mollies Gent (16/1), Cloneen Choice (16/1), Meadow Cross (16/1), Cant Pay Wont Pay (16/1), Miss Blanche (25/1), Black Jewel (33/1), Erkindale Lady (50/1)

Verdict

Could be a contested lead in the early stages with Cloneen Choice and Massinis Adventure vying for the lead with Mollies Gent racing prominently. The pace should be ideal for OPEN TO THE WORLD to get a decent pull in to the contest. Miss Blanche who can be forgiven her last run and Naughty Molly can take the minor honours.
  1. Open To The World
  2. Miss Blanche
  3. Naughty Molly
