Marcelo^t1¹⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: D J Hand⁽⁷⁾| T: T Foley

33/1

Shown little so far including when pulled up on his first outing in over a year at Clonmel recently. Wears a tongue tie for the first time today.

Form: 0/58-P

McCrackens Gate^t1²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: D E Browne⁽⁷⁾| T: T Gibney

12/1

Signs of ability when finishing 24L sixth in a maiden hurdle at Naas (soft-to-heavy) last time out. Likely needs to improve if he's to take this contest however.

Form: 6FP-506

Shakeytry²⁹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: S J Gray⁽³⁾| T: E J O'Grady

9/2

Finished fourth on all four starts so far including in bumpers the last twice. Had shown fair form in maiden hurdles prior to that and is one to note in this contest.

Form: 4444-

Timmie Roe³²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: D E Splaine| T: E O'Grady| OR: 99

3/1

Winner of a point-to-point 13 months ago and ran well over hurdles since including when 15L fourth in a maiden event over 2m3f at Limerick (heavy) last time. Interesting contender today.

Form: 155-744

Western Command^h⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott

5/1

Finished well beaten in both starts over hurdles to date mostrecently when beaten 47L at Navan (2m4f, heavy) last weekend. Others make more appeal.

Form: 8-407

Crown Of Thorns³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Sean Flanagan| T: N Meade| OR: 95

10/1

Struggled in three outings over hurdles so far with his most recent start coming on heavy ground at Limerick last month. Probably best watched at present.

Form: 007

Maeve's Choice³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: A E Lynch| T: M J Smith

20/1

Twice finished fourth in bumpers but pulled up on soft ground at Leopardstown (2m4f) last time out and makes his hurdling debut today.

Form: 44P

Benefit Of Magic³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: R M Power| T: Mrs J Harrington

10/3

Well held in bumpers and it's been a similar story in two starts over hurdles. Best of those came when beaten 24L at Navan (2m4f, soft) on her penultimate outing.

Form: 9706

Samantha Bellamy⁵⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr L P Gilligan⁽⁷⁾| T: B Cawley

66/1

Made a promising debut when fifth in a Limerick bumper in November 2014 but had just three starts since and finished well beaten on her return from nearly three years off the track at Thurles last time.

Form: 500/0

Miss Echrad^t¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: J P O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Rothwell

8/1

Maiden after five starts but put in a fair effort when finishing fifth of 15 over 2m at Clonmel (heavy) recently. Interesting to see how she fares today.

Form: U7455

Forecasts

Timmie Roe (3/1), Benefit Of Magic (10/3), Shakeytry (9/2), Western Command (5/1), Miss Echrad (8/1), Crown Of Thorns (10/1), McCrackens Gate (12/1), Maeve's Choice (20/1), Marcelo (33/1), Samantha Bellamy (66/1)

TIMMIE ROE ran well on heavy ground at Limerick last time and the point-to-point winner can register his first rules success in this maiden hurdle. Shakeytry put in his best effort to date when finishing fourth at Tramore last time out and he can finish runner-up on his return to hurdling while the mare Miss Echrad receives weight from all of her rivals today and can follow up her fifth last time out by recording her first placed effort today.
