16/1

C&D winner pulled up last time out when sent off the 11/4f. Had shown plenty of enthusiasm throughout the summer and cannot be discounted.

Form: 7411/3P-

Howaya Hurricane²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Sean Flanagan| T: G Keane| OR: 92

16/1

Last seen over hurdles this time last year when finishing fifth of nine beaten 21L in a Gowran Park handicap. Modest 45-rated handicapper on the flat since and other preferred.

Form: 0F7/455-

Muroor^v⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: A E Lynch| T: T G McCourt| OR: 94

7/1

Improved performance last time out was possibly down to the soft ground following some below-par efforts over a busy summer on both the Flat and over hurdles. Others hold stronger profiles.

Form: 608603

Demi Plie²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: C Brassil⁽⁵⁾| T: C Roche| OR: 92

16/1

Struggled since returning to hurdling at Downpatrick and last time out in a Punchestown maiden over 2m4f. Will need to improve to figure.

Form: 0-40

Emily Square⁶⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Paul Townend| T: T Mullins| OR: 91

7/2

Won just once in 24 career starts but has found her level in regularly hitting the frame in four starts on the Flat since late July, before a disappointing run at Navan last time out. Six-race maiden over hurdles and difficult to fancy.

Form: 00785-0

Glenabo Bridge²⁵⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: B Browne⁽⁵⁾| T: O McKiernan| OR: 87

8/1

Not much to shout about in five laboured performances over hurdles including when last seen in February. Well out of his depth here.

Form: 1/0U007-

Marino Marvel^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: D J Hand⁽⁷⁾| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 90

7/2

Well beaten on all starts over the summer before a promising third of 18 beaten a short head at Tramore over 2m in a handicap hurdle. Up 3lb for that effort and may have to improve again to play a role here.

Form: 709833

Zagnzig⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr N Gault⁽⁷⁾| T: H Smyth| OR: 87

16/1

Positive tactics helped to produce an improved display at Ballinrobe in September when finishing fifth of 13 over 2m4f. Another improved performance is needed.

Form: UP-7475

Benefit Of Love¹³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: C A Landers⁽⁷⁾| T: J P Ryan| OR: 83

33/1

Well beaten in three maiden hurdles in the spring toiling in below par performances including a 112L defeat at Downpatrick in June. Others preferred.

Form: 890

Urbanist^h¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: P E Corbett⁽³⁾| T: S Nolan| OR: 83

25/1

No discernible form in three maiden hurdles before another heavy defeat 59L last of 20 on handicap debut at Punchestown last month. Looks vulnerable in this company.

Form: 0-8000

Yes Man^t¹²

Age: 12| Weight: 11-0| J: Danny Mullins| T: D Cullen| OR: 82| D

12/1

Second of 19 beaten 1¾L in a Gowran Park handicap hurdle in September is the only bright spot in a pretty dismal summer jumping campaign. Looks a tall order in this company.

Form: 004P20

Cloneen Lady^p⁷⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: M J Bolger| T: J Beamish| OR: 81

50/1

Yet to find his feet in three maiden hurdles since switching from point to points. Plenty to find even with some of the weaker contenders here.

Form: PP-9800

Roja Dove¹¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: R Loughran| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 81| D

8/1

Produced a number of second-rate performances for trainer David Thompson in Britain in the spring. Market likely to reveal expectations on stable debut.

Form: 86-7344

Bellas Rock¹⁶¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: D E Browne⁽⁷⁾| T: T Gibney| OR: 80

25/1

0/19 in his career and has been given no help by the handicapper recently, remaining on the same mark despite a series of poor showings. Unlikely to get involved once again on return from break.

Form: 40P-0P0

She's A Survivor^t²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Robbie Colgan| T: P Downey| OR: 80

12/1

Improved for the fitting of first-time tongue-tie to finish fourth of 18 last time out in a much improved performance at Thurles last month beaten 3¾L. Will need to repeat that deed to play a role here.

Form: 05-7804

Killahara Castle^h²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: M P Burke⁽⁵⁾| T: J M Burke| OR: 88

10/1

First Reserve: On a career high mark but still a 16-race maiden and may struggle in this company once again.

Form: 56220-0

Forecasts

Emily Square (7/2), Marino Marvel (7/2), Muroor (7/1), Roja Dove (8/1), Glenabo Bridge (8/1), Killahara Castle (10/1), Officers Mess (10/1), Yes Man (12/1), She's A Survivor (12/1), Zagnzig (16/1), Cerca Trova (16/1), Howaya Hurricane (16/1), Demi Plie (16/1), Diesel Ten (20/1), Urbanist (25/1), Bellas Rock (25/1), Mister Butler (25/1), Benefit Of Love (33/1), Cloneen Lady (50/1)

Mister Butler, Muroor and Bellas Rock could possibly be vying for the lead here where it usually pays dividends to be on the front end or racing prominently early to mid-race. SHE'S A SURVIVOR improved for the fitting of a tongue-tie last time out at Thurles and can improve once again. Roja Dove and Zagnzig are interesting in the line-up and could outrun their odds to grab a place.
