Off time: 14:07 | Winning time: 3m 50.40s

Rock On Dandy^t¹⁰⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: I J McCarthy| T: F Birrane| D

9/2

Three career wins have come on the AW at Dundalk the latest of which came over this trip in February. Yard not renowned for their jumpers and best watched on hurdling debut.

Form:

Bill Hickok

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Sean Flanagan| T: N Meade

11/2

Tobougg gelding out of a Mull Of Kintyre mare. Closely related to Group 2 winning hurdler, Bouggler. Market likely to reveal expectations.

Form:

Cool Colonnade^h³⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins

11/8

Followed up three disappointing maidens on the Flat when finishing down the field at the Galway festival on handicap debut when last seen 12-months ago. Likely to be popular in the market for leading trainer.

Form:

Fontainbleau³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Liam McKenna⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Lambe

14/1

Modest 48-rated Flat handicapper for previous yard. Hard to fancy and has plenty of work to do on hurdling debut,

Form:

Safaruk^t⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: D G Hogan| T: D Hogan

9/1

Well held and no impression in five mediocre displays on the Flat to date. Plenty to find on hurdling bow.

Form:

Dayereh^t²²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: A Ring⁽³⁾| T: M M McNiff

9/2

10-race maiden well held on six starts for trainer Mick Halford before finishing down the field for current connections since March. Half-sister to hurdle winners and place claims on debut.

Form:

Welsh Pearl^t⁷⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Danny Mullins| T: J P Ryan

25/1

Not much to shout about in four dismal bumper displays to date and hard to see her making any significant impact on hurdling debut.

Form: 504-4

Non-Runners

Mister Saxman²²⁶

Weight: 11-2| Age: 4

T: Miss T M Reilly J: Mr T Reilly

Dragon Queen³³

Weight: 10-9| Age: 4

Forecasts

Cool Colonnade (11/8), Dayereh (9/2), Rock On Dandy (9/2), Bill Hickok (11/2), Safaruk (9/1), Fontainbleau (14/1), Welsh Pearl (25/1), Dragon Queen (25/1), Mister Saxman (25/1)

COOL COLONNADE - half-brother to Lagostovegas - can get off the mark on debut for the Willie Mullins yard here at the expense of interesting newcomer, the Noel Meade-trained Bill Hickok who can battle for the minors with Rock On Dandy and Dayereh.
