3/1
Denied a hat-trick at Thurles last time when possibly struggling under an increased handicap mark. Has something to prove off this weight but the drop back in trip may help.

10/1
Winner of a handicap at this course last June but is still 12lb higher in the weights and failed to land a blow when last seen in August.

Age: 7|  Weight: 10-6| J: C D Maxwell| T: S R B Crawford| OR:  105| BF
8/1
Not far away in a maiden hurdle at Ayr two starts back before slightly disappointing when only third at the same venue last time. Has been given a longer break now and should run well.

Young Paddymc26
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-3| J: J M Moore| T: T Gibney| OR:  102
7/2
Makes his handicap debut here having run his best race in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown last time. Progressing but will need to in order to be competitive here.

Age: 6|  Weight: 10-2| J: M A Enright| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR:  101
9/4
Improving maiden hurdler who was a good third at Fairyhouse last time. Up 3lb but going the right way and holds leading claims.
6
Horse silk
Arch Stanton26
Age: 5|  Weight: 9-13| J: A W Short(5)| T: N Meade| OR:  99
5/1
Failed to play a part in three maiden hurdles but will be much more at home now handicapping, even if this opening mark does look a little bit steep.

Forecasts

Benefit Of Magic (9/4), Sir Carno (3/1), Young Paddymc (7/2), Arch Stanton (5/1), Ardean Lass (8/1), Triolet (10/1)

Verdict

It may be worth chancing here that ARDEAN LASS has put a disappointing showing at Ayr last time behind her and can build on a second there on her penultimate start to get off the mark here. The money that came for her last time suggests she's held in high regard and she should be going close here at the very least. Sir Carno was denied a hat-trick last time under a revised handicap mark and can chase the selection home, followed by Benefit Of Magic.
  1. Ardean Lass
  2. Sir Carno
  3. Benefit Of Magic
