12/1

Heavy defeats and seems to be struggling of late in two chase starts. Needs a vast improvement to figure in this company.

16/1

C&D winner in July when beating five rivals in a maiden hunter chase. May well run his race but conditions a lot different here.

Form: 36F-129

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Mark Walsh| T: C O'Brien| OR: 90

25/1

Largely disappointing in four seasonal starts including a 50L defeat last month here on yielding ground. Others make more appeal.

8/1

In good form over the winter, scoring at Thurles in February before chasing home Flynsini at Clonmel in March. Eighth of 15 in this last year and should take a hand in the finish.

4/5

Sole success came in a bumper at Galway on good to yielding ground last July. Well beaten in four beginners chases so far, most recently when beaten 17L at the Galway festival last month. Market to be a strong guide on stable debut.

Form: 00-8404

The Bay Birch²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Danny Mullins| T: F J Flood| OR: 79

9/1

Beaten 8¼L behind the improving Massinis Adventure at Wexford earlier this month. Will need to improve here but could hit the frame.

20/1

Largely disappointing on last six seasonal starts including a 17L defeat last month when fifth of 16 at Tramore. Ground against the gelding here.

Tomcoole Lad^t³⁵

Age: 13| Weight: 10-7| J: Brian Hayes| T: R Donohoe| OR: 73

10/1

Gutsy, all-out win last time out in a Tramore handicap chase over 2m6f put the Gulland gelding in the mix here despite 4lb rise in the weights.

Form: 360-451

Shanklys Dawn^t²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: C D Maxwell| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 70| D

25/1

Struggling mare who is a 17-race maiden including seven over the larger obstacles. Will have to improve a chunk to land a blow in this.

Form: 8UP84U

Taboo^p⁴⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-12| J: J M Moore| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 64

10/1

Put in her best performance for quite some time when finishing third of 16 in a Sligo handicap chase over 3m. Inconsistent and an 18-race maiden where others make more appeal.

Forecasts

Poormans Hill (4/5), Tb Broke Her (10/3), Dinnie's Vinnie (8/1), The Bay Birch (9/1), Tomcoole Lad (10/1), Taboo (10/1), Double Windsor (12/1), Cant Pay Wont Pay (16/1), Wilde 'n Wide (20/1), Shanklys Dawn (25/1), Hurricane Sky (25/1)

Dinnies Vinnie and Can't Pay Won't Pay may take the field along here in the early stages of the race. Tb Broke Her improved last time with the re-fitting of cheekpieces and The Bay Birch, fourth last time out, in a decent contest, behind the improving Massini's Adventure, can hit the frame while preference is for POORMANS HILL who can put disappointing runs behind him on debut for powerful stable.
