Battle Hard^h¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Ms K Walsh| T: Peter Fahey

7/1

Has gone close from three outings in bumpers but tame last time when upped in trip at Kilbeggan and this testing ground mind prove a worry.

Form: 77P-534

Cool Robin⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr D O'Connor| T: P A Fahy

11/8

Third of 16 in Galway Festival bumper in July, that was an improved showing and deserves to be considered for this as a result.

Form: 60-3

Indian Nut⁴⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: R Deegan⁽⁷⁾| T: S Fahey

33/1

Pulled up in 2m novice hurdle at Wexford in July, makes bumper debut now and others appear to hold better claims.

James Eclipse¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Miss S Ahern⁽⁷⁾| T: T Cummins

8/1

All bar the winner last time at Bellewstown, going down in agonising fashion. Strong claims of going one better now.

Form: 452

On His Toes²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr R J Kiely⁽³⁾| T: J R Barry

8/1

Didn't run badly at Tramore last month on seasonal bow / second start. Needs to build on that to have a leading say but could be up to the challenge.

Form: 0-5

Suinda

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr A McMahon⁽⁷⁾| T: W P Mullins

7/4

Mahler mare is trained by the champion and will be popular choice in the market to make a winning debut in all probability. Respected.

Forecasts

Cool Robin (11/8), Suinda (7/4), Battle Hard (7/1), James Eclipse (8/1), On His Toes (8/1), Indian Nut (33/1)

Suinda will likely be popular here representing team Mullins and has got to hold fair claims but JAMES ECLIPSE took a nice step forward last time at Bellewstown when just failing to register a success over an odds-on favourite. They pair were nicely clear and the selection will surely expose any chinks in the armour of the Closutton representative on debut. Cool Robin and On His Toes are the best of the remainder and can get involved.
