Two solid runs at Wexford in maiden hurdles were not followed up on in a 13L defeat in a Tramore novice hurdle last month. Yard do like a winner at this meeting.

4/1
Rock-solid runs last month including a win at Tramore over 2m on rain-softened ground were not followed up on handicap debut at Galway on Monday. Could still be on a high mark.

9/2
Disappointing on his last two starts but has strong form on the going and over the distance. One for the shortlist.

10/3
Registering the second success of his career when winning a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse on soft to heavy ground in early April. Could struggle a little here 14lb higher than that win.

Has toiled in three maiden hurdles since a bumper win in the spring. Needs to improve to take a hand here.

Won over C&D in June off a mark of 91 but has struggled since in two handicap hurdles and still 8lb higher than last win.

Ran well at Gowran Park in June but has put in three below-par performances and others have stronger profiles for this contest.

Forecasts

Aa Bee See (10/3), Canny Tom (4/1), Get Smart (4/1), Whats The Plot (9/2), Coherent (6/1), Ashjan (7/1), Scotch Beg (9/1), Theturnofthesun (12/1)

Verdict

Scotch Egg likes to get on with things in the early stages of the race and will take the field along at a decent clip. C&D winner Ashjan, Whats The Plot and Get Smart can hit the frame here but a chance is taken with COHERENT who has genuine form on the ground.
  1. Coherent
  2. Get Smart
  3. Whats The Plot
