El Vasco¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Ricky Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: C O'Dwyer

33/1

One from 11 over hurdles and has been generally well beaten in a series of laboured performances. Others preferred.

Form: 6530P-7

Glencairn View¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Danny Mullins| T: A Mullins

7/2

Winning point-to-pointer who had been off the track for over a year, before finishing fourth of eight beaten 14½L in a Clonmel handicap hurdle. Looks a tall order on chasing debut.

Form: 33/228-4

Lyreen Lad²¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: L P Dempsey| T: A J Martin

12/1

105-rated hurdler who won on his last racecourse appearance in April. Shapes like a switch to the larger obstacles will suit.

Form: 00921-

Mannin Island^p,t²⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Keith Donoghue| T: S J Mahon

12/1

Not the most fluent jumper in each of his starts over fences but has proved he can take fences in his stride. Forth of 16 last time out and will need to improve to land a blow in this company.

Form: 772-464

Monbeg Chit Chat²³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Kennedy| T: H De Bromhead

1/1

Didn't need to improve to justify longs odds-on in Clonmel maiden hurdle when winning his maiden in March before finishing fourth of seven at Limerick in the same month. Likely to be a warm order.

Form: 1/53214-

Time And Times⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: J J Slevin⁽³⁾| T: D McNamara| C

28/1

Course winner back in March when winning a handicap hurdle over 2m4f beating eight rivals on similar ground to todays. Well beaten in three starts over the larger obstacles and very little to be positive about.

Form: F17-700

Cant Wait^h1,t¹²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: R Loughran| T: T Hogan

50/1

Modest 92-rated Killarney when last seen in July beaten 24L in a Killarney handicap. Well beaten 32L on only chase start in February and has a tough assignment here.

Form: 6-86980

High Nellie¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: C A Landers⁽⁷⁾| T: M J Bowe

5/1

Generally solid and consistent in a summer hurdling campaign but suffered a heavy defeat last time out here earlier this month. Market likely to reveal expectations.

Form: 422444

Whats In It For Me²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Phillip Enright| T: R Tyner

25/1

Unsuccessful in seven hurdle starts and one of the lowest rated in that sphere. Finished last of eight beaten 54L on chasing debut and up against it here.

Form: 0062-88

Youcantcallherthat²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: D G Hogan| T: D Hogan

12/1

Point-to-point winner who has made three starts over fences, finishing second at Thurles before falling at the first last time out at Wexford in October.

Form: 5557-2F

Forecasts

Monbeg Chit Chat (1/1), Goose Man (3/1), Glencairn View (7/2), High Nellie (5/1), Youcantcallherthat (12/1), Mannin Island (12/1), Lyreen Lad (12/1), Whats In It For Me (25/1), Time And Times (28/1), El Vasco (33/1), Cowboy Des Long (33/1), Mindsmadeup (33/1), Cant Wait (50/1)

MONBEG CHIT CHAT has been known to lead in his hurdle races and if deciding to make the pace here the mount of Jack Kennedy could have a few of these in trouble some way out. Goose Man will look to build on his solid effort at Wexford last month while High Nellie can hit the frame on chasing debut.
