Progressive hurdler who was well beaten on Flat debut last week in a Listowel maiden over 1m4f on heavy ground. Others make more appeal.

Meager efforts in seven Flat starts and last seen on the level at Dundalk in November. Tall order in this given modest form.

Placed just once in 11 Flat starts and very hard to make a case for off a mark of 38. Tough ask and others preferred in this contest.

Second of 15 on latest start in a Killarney maiden with first-time tongue-tie which is now removed. Can be expected to be involved at the finish in this company.

By Yeats out of a Shernazar mare. Related to multiple winners Montaly, Question Of Faith and recent Kempton victor the Robert Stephens-trained Mere Anarchy. Others preferred on debut here.

Makes a belated reappearance following 6L defeat at Navan in April. Must be respected on second of seven in a Curragh listed contest in October last term but tough ask on return.

7/2
Gutsy and genuine over the summer including finishing ½L behind Flaming Sea here at the festival last month. Can improve on recent starts and be a big player back at the track.

Has failed to build on a solid enough run at Gowran Park in July when second of 17 over 1m1½f. Finished behind Dawn Choir and Alaykha at Killarney on last start.

Forecasts

Alaykha (9/10), Dawn Choir (7/2), Bound (4/1), Awayinthewest (10/1), Dream Sleep (10/1), Rive Normande (25/1), Allora Yeats (50/1), Bracklin Princess (66/1), Charms Bracelet (66/1)

Verdict

The fitness of Bound can only be taken on trust but Aidren O'Brien has readied a horse from a lay-off on many, many occasions in the past and she is one not to be easily dismissed. Alaykha can be expected to be involved in the finish running in this company, but a chance is taken with the Ellmarie Holden-trained DAWN CHOIR who was just held off here at the festival last month.
  1. Dawn Choir
  2. Alaykha
  3. Bound
