Off time: 18:50 | Winning time: 4m 54.0s

Lady Mangan³²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr C L Murphy⁽⁷⁾| T: G Murphy| OR: 95

12/1

Point-to-point winner who came close to losing her maiden tag under Rules over hurdles here last time. Leading claims if she can back that effort up.

Form: U30UP-2

Stonehall Jack⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: L P Dempsey| T: D E Fitzgerald| OR: 92| C

13/2

Course winner who improved for the return to hurdles at Ballinrobe last time. Has won at this course earlier in his career and not ruled out if returning in the same form.

Form: 886R-44

Blondes No More²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: M A Enright| T: E Griffin| OR: 90

7/1

Improved for the switch to this stable when winning at Clonmel last time out and only up 1lb for that success. A tougher race back in handicaps here but not ruled out.

Form: 00686-1

Whitber's Choice^t¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr S F O'Keeffe⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss E Doyle| OR: 90

8/1

Unlucky to have not lost her maiden tag yet and shaped well on return from a considerable absence over C&D last time. Should come on for that and she's a leading player here.

Form: 24423/5

In A Pinch¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: J J Slevin| T: S Slevin| OR: 89| C

3/1

Returned to gain her first win here over 2m last time and shaped like she would appreciate a step up in trip that day. 7lb rise is a concern but the runner-up from her win has won since so can't be ruled out here.

Form: 50057-1

Authorative^t¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: J M Moore| T: A McCann| OR: 87| D

10/1

Just one win from 29 starts over hurdles and that came in 2015. Still above that winning mark and others preferred here.

Form: 2503-84

Catch My Drift¹⁵⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr J P Berry⁽⁷⁾| T: J A Berry| OR: 87

50/1

Struggling for any sort of form in recent times and only win came in a point-to-point in 2015. Hard to imagine him playing a part here.

Form: F7/87P9-

Shantelle^b⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: Katie O'Farrell⁽⁷⁾| T: R Donohoe| OR: 86

12/1

A winner at Ballinrobe last month and back that up with a placed effort back at that course last week. Probably wants rain to arrive to be seen at her best though.

Form: 93B7-13

Lady Of The Sea^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: B J Cooper| T: P Nolan| OR: 85| BF

14/1

Still a maiden after nine starts but ran well at Clonmel last month when placed. Couldn't back that up when unseating the rider here last time but place claims if none the worse for that.

Form: 00/75-3U

Cantkidakidder^p²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: J P O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: N Dooly| OR: 82| CD

8/1

Just one win from 20 starts but that did come over C&D in September. Should come on for his reappearance at Clonmel and not ruled out.

Form: 75169-0

Diggin Deep¹⁷⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Brian Hayes| T: R Donohoe| OR: 80

16/1

Has failed to hit the frame in 15 starts under Rules. Beaten a long way on last two starts and is hard to make a case for.

Form: 065407-

Fairy Court¹⁴

Age: 12| Weight: 10-11| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: S O'Farrell| OR: 80

33/1

One win from 31 starts over hurdles and not won since 2013. All recent efforts offer little encouragement and he needs to bounce back to have any chance here.

Form: 94766-0

King Norman^b¹⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 10-11| J: I J McCarthy| T: J G Carr| OR: 80

50/1

Jumping often very sketchy and unseated the rider at Punchestown on return last month. Return to hurdles offers minor encouragement but yet to place in 18 starts and readily passed over here.

Form: FFF/FU-P

Dukes Avenue^p,t1²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Phillip Enright| T: R Tyner| OR: 91

9/1

Second Reserve: Handicap hurdle career not going well and first-time tongue-tie is unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement to play a role here.

Form: 0900-0

Non-Runners

Our Pocket Rocket⁸

Weight: 10-11| Age: 6

T: Eamon Courtney J: Phillip Enright

The Crane Man¹⁹

Weight: 10-11| Age: 5

T: Thomas Coyle J: Reserve 1

Forecasts

In A Pinch (3/1), Stonehall Jack (13/2), Blondes No More (7/1), Cantkidakidder (8/1), Whitber's Choice (8/1), Dukes Avenue (9/1), Authorative (10/1), Lady Mangan (12/1), Shantelle (12/1), Lady Of The Sea (14/1), Diggin Deep (16/1), Bobbythegangster (20/1), The Crane Man (25/1), Fairy Court (33/1), Our Pocket Rocket (33/1), Catch My Drift (50/1), King Norman (50/1)

WHITBER'S CHOICE could be the one to side with after a promising effort off a break here last time. In A Pinch won last time out, giving the impression she would appreciate more of a stamina test here. Stonehall Jack has won around here and can't be ruled out.
