6/1

18/1

Maiden hurdle winner at Clonmel (soft) in February 2015 but well beaten in handicap contests in that sphere of late and others make more appeal on chasing debut.

20/1

5/2

Finished runner-up twice over hurdles this summer and registering her first completion over fences when finishing fifth at Ballinrobe back over fences at the end of last month. Likely to be of more interest once tackling handicaps.

Forecasts

Rosie Alice (5/2), Rueben James (7/2), Penny Jane (11/2), Burndown (6/1), Tinos Tank (6/1), Coeur Joyeux (8/1), Double Speak (12/1), Sea's Aria (14/1), Atlantic Breaker (18/1), Fruits Of Glory (18/1), L'Attesa (20/1), There Was A Time (25/1), Arctic Light (50/1)

BURNDOWN reverts to a beginners chase today having run well in handicap company last time out and he can register his first victory at the fifth time of asking in this sphere today. The selections latest second was an improvement on previous chase efforts and he can get the better of the mare Penny Jane who remains open to improvement and ran well on chasing debut last time out. The lightly raced Reuben James can follow up his chase debut second by claiming third today.
