Beginningtogetup¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: L P Dempsey| T: E P Harty

50/1

Improved from debut to finish fourth of 14 at Gowran in a maiden hurdle last year and not beaten far when runner-up at Clonmel at the end of last season. Fit from a reappearance run over hurdles and rates as the type to make a better chaser.

Form: 042/0-

Camlann¹⁹³

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

16/1

Useful over hurdles, latest win came at Wexford in June but will probably need to improve to play a part here on debut over the larger obstacles.

Form: 2/13769-

Eshtiaal^t⁵⁵⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott| D

14/1

Not seen since he was pulled up at Cheltenham in 2016. Useful over hurdles but entitled to need this on first start for some time debuting over fences.

Form: 12411P/

Gangster⁵²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 143| D

5/4

Grade 3 winner over hurdles and has been plying his trade at a useful level over fences. Disappointed a little last time out but obvious claims in this field back in this sphere.

Form: 52232/4-

Inis Meain²

Age: 11| Weight: 11-12| J: D G Hogan| T: D Hogan| OR: 117

14/1

Not won since landing a Listed race at the Curragh in 2014. Has run well over fences, most recently at Fairyhouse in April but he looks up against it here against some of these.

Form: 343483-

Kagney⁵⁰⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean Flanagan| T: N Meade| D

3/1

Bumper winner who landed a maiden hurdle when last seen at Clonmel. Entitled to need this on return from a lengthy absence making his debut over fences.

Form: 932121/

Mon Lino¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: J S McGarvey| T: P Nolan

8/1

Useful over hurdles and can be forgiven his debut over fences when badly hampered at the first last time. Well backed that day and has place claims here.

Form: 113PP9-

Showem Silver¹⁶⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: J M Moore| T: N Meade| D

50/1

Gained a second win when landing a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse just over a year ago. Badly struggling on his most recent starts though, tailed off in three runs over fences and others preferred here.

Form: 4/00705-

Uaintseenothingyet¹⁶⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Mark Walsh| T: E P Harty| D

8/1

Maiden hurdle winner who went well on debut over fences at Galway in October. In the process of bouncing back from a poor effort at that same course when he fell two out at Fairyhouse last time and may be able to gain compensation here.

Form: 319/44F-

Golden Sunset¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: M A Enright| T: N Madden

66/1

Failed to finish in two point-to-points and he's been in poor form in maiden hurdle company this year. Hard to fancy.

Form: UP087-

Katbart²⁶⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: A E Lynch| T: N Lee

100/1

Tailed off on all four starts to date and very few signs of encouragement at the Galway Festival when last seen.

Form: 0089-

Sierra Law³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Donagh Meyler| T: K Thornton

100/1

Handicap hurdle winner who refused at the last when well beaten at 50/1 on chase debut last time out. Plenty more needed.

Form: 35120R-

Forecasts

Gangster (5/4), Kagney (3/1), Uaintseenothingyet (8/1), Mon Lino (8/1), Inis Meain (14/1), Eshtiaal (14/1), Camlann (16/1), Showem Silver (50/1), Beginningtogetup (50/1), Golden Sunset (66/1), Sierra Law (100/1), Katbart (100/1)

GANGSTER brings the best form to the table and will be hard to beat if he can bounce back from a disappointing run over hurdles last time. Beginningtogetup has shown promise over hurdles but Uaintseenothingyet could run well if he puts in a good round of jumping and rates as the main danger to the selection.
