Balinaboola Steel (4/1), Lockeen Girl (9/2), Muroor (5/1), Shumaker (7/1), Aasleagh Dawn (8/1), Robin On The Hill (9/1), Trans Wood (9/1), Naturally Blond (14/1), War Of The Pennys (14/1), Racing Stripes (14/1), Sherryorport (14/1), Filly Mullins (16/1), Theatre World (16/1), Dont Tell Mammy (25/1), Ciaoifsin (28/1), Askyourmammy (33/1), Humps And Bumps (33/1)

TRANS WOOD can record a second win in her last three starts by taking this competitive looking handicap hurdle. The selection finished runner-up over C&D in May and can defy a mark 6lb higher than for her Listowel victory last month. Top weight and handicap debutant Aasleagh Dawn can finish runner-up for a yard with a 27% strike-rate (4/15) in recent weeks while Balinaboola Steel looks capable of finishing third.
