15/2
Lightly-raced veteran of just 30-races. Losing run now dates back to September 2015 and this looks a tough ask on first start for new connections.

Winner of novice hurdle here over 12-months ago off a 4lb lower mark. Beaten since including when last seen in September. Plenty more needed in this group.

33/1
Now racing 2lb lower than his last winning mark helped by a series of heavy defeats this season. Hard to fancy on latest evidence.

Will have disappointed connections in a number of dismal displays since April over the larger obstacles. Out of form and still racing off a 9lb higher mark than his last hurdle win.

11/2
Little bits of promise but generally well held in three starts this season including an 11L defeat over 2m3f in a Downpatrick handicap hurdle last month. Each way claims in this grade.

4/1
Possibly needed the run on first start of the season and it wouldn't take much improvement in this company to repeat his form of 12-months ago when winning a Killarney handicap hurdle off a 8lb lower mark.

4/1
Comes in to this race on a hat-trick following wins at Wexford and last month in a Punchestown handicap hurdle. Likable type and should be in the mix despite an 8lb higher mark.

Spring Watch55
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-6| J: D J McInerney(3)| T: M F Morris| OR:  109
5/2
Got of the mark at the fifth time of asking for leading connections winning a Punchestown handicap hurdle over 2m7f in May on good ground. Open to plenty of improvement here off a 9lb higher mark.

Forecasts

Spring Watch (5/2), Dawn Raider (4/1), My Betty (4/1), The King Of Brega (11/2), Jarob (15/2), Dorans River (12/1), Showem Silver (14/1), Cassells Rock (33/1)

Verdict

Winner over this trip last time out and arriving here on a hat-trick of wins MY BETTY can land spoils here despite strong opposition from the likes of the JP McManus-owned Spring Watch and Dawn Raider, who can go well at a price.
  1. My Betty
  2. Spring Watch
  3. Dawn Raider
