33/1

Point-to-point winner who progressed to open his account on his handicap debut over hurdles at Clonmel in May 2015 before struggling over fences later that year. Pulled up and was beaten 23L in two seasonal starts. Tough ask.

Form: 150P/P8

12/1

Lightly raced gelding by Robin Des Champs and well beaten on all four career starts for top yard. Market likely to reveal expectations.

16/1

Getting in to the twilight of his career and his last win came in 2014 when with Thomas James. Stable debut here in first-time tongue-tie and hard to fancy.

8/1

Signs of return to form last time out here in a handicap hurdle when fourth of 16 beaten 9¼L. Could still struggle off a 6lb higher mark than last run.

11/2

Not a lot to shout about over the spring and summer which leaves the Arcadio gelding a seven-race maiden. May have place claims.

7/2

Course winner last time out last month when beating 11 rivals by ½L following being pressed in the run-in keeping on to win. Improvement on the cards again.

7/1

Winner last time out beating Mac Cennetig a nose over 2m on yielding ground following a fine third at Thurles last month. Shouldn't be underestimated.

Courtin Bb¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Phillip Enright| T: P J Duffy| OR: 85

20/1

Strike rate of 1-26 over hurdles isn't inspiring, success coming over 2m5f at Tramore in June off mark 3lb lower than today's. Tough ask and others preferred.

Forecasts

Granny Biddy (11/4), Broder (7/2), Ri An Rian (11/2), Our Rachael (6/1), Turasoir (7/1), Bye Bye O Bye (8/1), Carlitos Bay (8/1), Statistical (12/1), Burning Issues (16/1), Courtin Bb (20/1), Bridies Boy (33/1)

Grannys Biddy and Our Rachel could dispute the lead in the early stages of this contest here and it is possible the could have a few of these in trouble some way out. Grannys Biddy can continue improvement here despite his 10lb rise for last win, while market moves are expected for the Tony Martin-trained OUR RACHEL who has the top pilot booked. Carlitos Bay and Broder can fight for the minors.
