Adimelo^t³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: B T O'Connell| T: M M McNiff

12/1

Managed only one win from seven over hurdles, but a decent operator in that sphere (rated 121 at best). Shaped well here last month over 2m½f and could have a say on first outing over larger obstacles.

Form: 64/60-46

Bendanella⁴⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 116| C

8/1

Twice a winner over hurdles, including around here, hasn't managed to get off the mark in seven attempts over these obstacles. Was supported last month for C&D event but never going with enthusiasm and pulled up. Must prove himself now.

Form: 358-27P

Logical Song²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: D E Mullins| T: Ms M Mullins

1/1

Decent hurdler with two runner-up finishes, an unseat and a fall from four starts over fences. Twice second at Clonmel (2m1½f) in February and last month at Ballinrobe (2m7f) last month. Those efforts give sound claims, if forgiving indiscretions.

Form: 22F-772

Spider Web⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Mark Walsh| T: T Mullins

6/1

Scored twice in 2016 jumping hurdles over longer trips, poor at Fairyhouse in April and rather luckless in unseating at Galway a week ago (2m2f, soft) before it was possible to gauge any sort of wellbeing. Not ruled out with any certainty.

Form: 14759-U

La Bella Vida¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Sean Flanagan| T: Miss E Doyle| C

5/2

Fair hurdler, winning twice, most recently over extended two-miles here last month. Form in three runs since not exactly inspiring but could perk up for switch to fences first time and can get involved if taking to this.

Form: 5F-1963

Forecasts

Logical Song (1/1), La Bella Vida (5/2), Spider Web (6/1), Bendanella (8/1), Adimelo (12/1)

Logical Song will likely be popular here having finished a close second over a much longer trip at Ballinrobe last time out. That form, along with a second at Clonmel in the spring, entitles him to a strong presence in the market but it has to rank as some kind of concern that he twice failed to get around in four starts over fences. For that reason, an alternative might be worth seeking. Bendanella was strong in the market for a C&D contest last month but never threatened and was pulled up, so it will be interesting to see how he's judged this time while Adimelo could improve for the switch to chasing. LA BELLA VIDA scored around here over hurdles last month and, receiving 7lb for this first start over fences, the mare may be up to a winning start in an open event.
