33/1
Has been largely disappointing in three runs over the summer and sent off no lower than 50/1. Plenty on his plate once again.

2/1
109-rated hurdler who finished close up last time out in a Clonmel maiden over 2m½f with the hood refitted. That is now dispensed with for chasing debut. Market likely to give the best indication of chance.

25/1
Modest in the point-to-point discipline and his chasing career hasn't quite taken off as hoped. Others make more appeal.

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-12| J: A W Short(7)| T: P Corkery
6/1
Well beaten and no impression in three of his last four starts over hurdles. Beaten 27L on chasing debut at Tramore in August. Looks a tall order on form to hand.

8/1
Not a lot to shout about in the point-to-point game and well beaten in a Tipperary bumper recently. Wont need to improve much to land a blow in this company.

Silent Account35
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-12| J: Danny Mullins| T: D Donovan
7/1
Modest 92-rated hurdler who failed to finish in two handicap hurdles over the summer. Others preferred given his inconsistent form.

Age: 8|  Weight: 11-5| J: A Ring(3)| T: P Byrne| OR:  92
8/1
Experienced chaser with nothing to shout about in five outings over the summer. Hard to imagine any improvement here even in first-time blinkers.

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-5| J: Phillip Enright| T: L Casey
16/1
Well beaten and no impression in four of his five starts this season over hurdles. Will need a chunk of improvement to land a blow on chasing debut.

Well beaten and no impression in her last five starts over hurdles. Others make more appeal on comeback following lay-off.

Forecasts

Born To Size (2/1), Youcantcallherthat (7/2), Danboru (5/1), Chance It (6/1), Silent Account (7/1), Charlotte's Chum (8/1), Knocknacassa King (8/1), Field Exhibition (16/1), Buzzkillbob (25/1), Arctic Light (33/1)

Verdict

BORN TO SIZE looks to have been found an ideal opportunity to get off the mark here in this contest given his hurdle rating and finished close up last time out in a Clonmel maiden over 2m½f. Knocknacassa King and Danboru can hit the frame in this company given their point-to-point form. .
