5/1
Maiden after 13 starts but finished 4L second over C&D off a 2lb lower mark in November. Subsequently finished fourth here prior to disappointing at Naas last time and interesting on his return to this track.

7/1
Winner off an 8lb lower mark at Gowran Park (2m4f, heavy) in the autumn and has since finishing runner-up at Clonmel (soft-to-heavy). Disappointing last time out however and needs to return to form today.

25/1
Winner of a point-to-point and placed five times in that sphere most recently in May last year. Well held in three maiden hurdle outings so far and worth a check in the market on handicap debut.
4

Age: 9|  Weight: 11-7| J: R Loughran| T: Miss S Barkley| OR:  90
8/1
Winner of his sole point-to-point start in spring 2015 but failed to add to that in nine outings under rules. Well held in a first time tongue tie over C&D last time out and others make more appeal.

10/3
Put a run of three non-completions behind him when finishing fourth over 3m on heavy ground here last time out. Drop in trip looks likely to suit and he is an interesting runner in this contest.

Age: 8|  Weight: 11-4| J: A E Lynch| T: G P Cromwell| OR:  87
33/1
Won and placed in four starts in point-to-points but struggled so far over hurdles including at Kilbeggan (3m1f, good) on handicap debut last time. Returning from nearly seven months off the track and dropping in trip today.

14/1
Dual hurdles winner including over C&D in January last year. Below par in the main since then and well beaten the last twice including over fences last time out.

Dawn Light Cave77
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-3| J: E O'Connell(7)| T: D Cullen| OR:  86
16/1
Maiden point-to-point winner on heavy ground a year ago but well beaten in three starts in 2m4f maiden hurdles in November. Interesting to see how she fares on handicap debut following a break.

Horse silk
Queen Khaleesip,t6
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-3| J: C A Landers(7)| T: P Neville| OR:  86
15/8
Placed five times in 13 starts over hurdles including when finishing runner-up over an extended 2m7f at Thurles (soft-to-heavy) last week. Effective over this trip and is one to note racing off the same mark today.

Horse silk
Michael's Birdp162
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-2| J: D J McInerney(5)| T: Miss M M Gannon| OR:  85
40/1
Limited signs of promise in four starts over hurdles so far and probably best watched with cheekpieces applied for the first time on today's handicap debut.

Forecasts

Queen Khaleesi (15/8), Itsallhappening (10/3), Brosna George (5/1), Ballymadun (7/1), Rock On Westie (8/1), Western Goose (14/1), Dawn Light Cave (16/1), Drimsree Lad (25/1), Damut I'm Out (33/1), Michael's Bird (40/1)

Verdict

QUEEN KHALEESI can gain reward for some consistent efforts of late by taking this competitive handicap hurdle. The selection ran well off this mark when second last time out and can get the better of Itsalhappening who can put a disappointing latest effort behind him dropping in trip today. Top weight Brosna George ran well in two starts here earlier this season and can claim third this time.
  1. Queen Khaleesi
  2. Itsallhappening
  3. Brosna George
