Cluan Dara¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: T N Brett⁽⁷⁾| T: J P Ryan| OR: 109

17/2

Well held , despite the finishing positions in a couple of hurdle starts last month. May need a break from the handicapper before getting competitive.

Form: 8F31-43

Lord In Red^b1,t¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean Flanagan| T: N Meade| OR: 109| BF

7/1

Beaten favourite in a Down Royal handicap hurdle last month finishing 16L behind The White Volcano over a similar trip. Place claims but general improvement needed.

Form: 75640-4

Stacks Mountain²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: D Robinson⁽³⁾| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 107| BF

6/1

Fourth of nine beaten 2¾L behind the improving Loupgarou on handicap hurdle debut at Clonmel last month. Further improvement on the cards but tough ask in this company.

Form: 48/37-4

Lizzies Champ^t¹⁶⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: A W Short⁽⁵⁾| T: P G Kelly| OR: 106

12/1

Pulled-up when last seen in a Limerick handicap hurdle in December possibly getting stuck in the ground. Better than that performance and worth consideration again in a race he was third of 17 at last years renewal.

Form: 03146P-

Floramar²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Ricky Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: C O'Dwyer| OR: 102

8/1

Kept on for plenty of pressure in the closing stages in his third handicap hurdle at Downpatrick last month. Improvement once again possible and worth a market check.

Form: 5160P-6

Zipporah^t⁵³

Age: 11| Weight: 11-1| J: Brian Hayes| T: Miss D O'Shea| OR: 98| D

25/1

The veteran showed he was still up to winning when landing a Thurles handicap hurdle in March over 2m. Can go well coming back to hurdling following a second over the larger obstacles last time out in April but ground a worry.

About You^p⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: D E Mullins| T: M Hourigan| OR: 96| D

5/1

Distance winner of a Kilbeggan handicap hurdle last week following some inconsistent displays previous. May struggle off new mark.

Form: 7562-01

Double Portrait²³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: D F O'Regan| T: S J Mahon| OR: 96

13/2

Nothing of any note in a series of desolate displays over timber since April and not hard to look elsewhere.

Form: P635-75

Platinum Empress³³³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: T Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: L P Cusack| OR: 95| BF

6/1

Fifth of 17 beaten over 14L in a Cork handicap hurdle when last seen in July last term. Best watched on return to the track.

Form: 050/335-

Gliondar Mo Chroi¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: M A Enright| T: A Fogarty| OR: 91

8/1

Has disappointed connections with a series of dismal hurdle displays since February and more improvement needed here to figure.

Form: 0837-5

Reddot Dancer^h¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: R P Treacy⁽⁵⁾| T: L Young| OR: 90

25/1

Recently seen on the Flat around Gowran Park well beaten 29L over 1m4f. Modest hurdle form in a summer jumping campaign and form doesn't warrant support here.

Form: 08/700-

Seaweed^t1²³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: E O'Connell⁽⁷⁾| T: A J Martin| OR: 90

14/1

Well beaten on return to the track last month at Limerick and first time blinkers unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.

Form: 60/040-7

Galveston^p1,t¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: Phillip Enright| T: T Foley| OR: 89

33/1

Second Reserve: Well beaten in a series of handicap hurdles including on return to the track last month. Well out of his depth here.

The Michael Hourigan-trained ABOUT YOU can build on his ½L success last time out in a Kilbeggan handicap hurdle over an extended 3m earlier this month while Fairyhouse winner in April over 2m7f Cluan Dara should not be discounted back up in trip following being well held on two occasions over 2m4f last month. Goodnightngodbless could go well once again following a fine win at Tipperary last month but has 7lb penalty to carry.
