7/1

Ran twice on the Flat and finished seventh of 12 in a 2m handicap hurdle in the space of three days at the Galway festival. This is a much weaker contest and has conditions to suit.

Form: 212-137

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: P E Corbett⁽³⁾| T: S Nolan| OR: 124| D

16/1

Has been running on the Flat of late but two of his previous hurdle appearances have been promising, though, ground is a worry and now 11lb higher than last winning mark.

Form: 1311P2-

Put a 108L defeat behind him when winning a Ballinrobe handicap hurdle four days later over 2m on yielding to soft ground last month. Raised 5lb for the win but can still have a say in this.

Forecasts

Highland Fling (5/2), Rightdownthemiddle (4/1), Lakemilan (5/1), Kilcarry Bridge (6/1), Camlann (7/1), Getoutwhenyoucan (9/1), Charlie Stout (16/1), Crosshue Boy (16/1), Notwhatiam (16/1), Marygale Bridge (25/1)

Plenty of front-runners here with Camlann, Notwhatiam, Highland Fling and Kilcarry Bridge all known to have made the running in the past. Preference is for CAMLANN who should be fresh following his three runs in three days at the Galway festival and has conditions in his favour today. Kilcarry Bridge, pulled up in the Kerry National here on Wednesday and Getoutwhenyoucan can battle for the minor honours.
