Showed much improved effort over hurdles when just collared late on at Gowran Park over this trip two weeks ago. Nudged up 3lbs for that but every chance of going well again if in the same mood.
Much better known as a chaser these days and was quite a long way behind High Nellie at Gowran Park last time. Quite a bit on to reverse placings with that rival and more needed.
Appreciated the step up in trip when going very close at Wexford last month. got going late there so this slight drop in trip is not obviously going to help. Good jockey booking though and hard to dismiss.
Struggling off this sort of mark when last seen over hurdles and it has not been much better over fences of late. Needs to really bounce back to form before being considered.
Big prices and hasn't looked like winning off this sort of mark of late. Fading late on having led last time. Needs some slack from the handicapper to score.
C&D winner who won a handicap chase of a 2lb higher mark when last seen 18 days ago. Has shaped like this trip will really suit and she has sound claims off this lower hurdles mark.
Racing off an 8lb higher mark than for his last win and that is making life tough.Blinkers are added here but needs to do plenty more to be involved.
Course winner who looked to be ready to strike after a sound effort at Tramore just over a month ago. Absolutely bombed out next time though and that tempers enthusiasm some what in here.
Won well off a 6lb lower mark two starts back. Raced quite lazily at Roscommon next time and was never really travelling. She still ran past beaten horses there to finish third and if the blinkers perk her up she'll be dangerous again.
Nothing of any note in a series of desolate displays over timber since April and not hard to look elsewhere.
Not been in the best of form and has only won twice over hurdles. Has dropped down the weights now to her last winning mark so whilst it's hard to fancy her, any market support would be interesting.
He's now a 26-race maiden and has been tailed off in a number of runs of late. You can make a case from a handicapping perspective but hard to enthuse all the same.
Forecasts
About You (9/2), Mill Quest (6/1), Double Portrait (6/1), High Nellie (6/1), Wee Tiger (8/1), Tulsa Jack (9/1), Kilganer Queen (10/1), Carlitos Bay (10/1), Fleurys Fort (12/1), Novano (16/1), Jefferson Davis (20/1), Carrigready (20/1)
About You would be dangerous to all if the blinkers can get her to concentrate her mind on the job earlier in the race. Carlitos Bay should go well but there is a nagging doubt that he wants even further than this. Preference here is for KILGANER QUEEN who won a chase off a higher mark last time and can follow up here back over timber.
