Canny Tom^t²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott| OR: 112

9/2

Good effort in finishing runner-up in a 3m handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (good) earlier this month. Races off his 6lb higher chase mark on this occasion.

Form: 160-952

Sizing Rome⁷⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: A E Lynch| T: J T R Dreaper| OR: 105| BF

6/1

Hunter chase winner on good ground at Downpatrick (2m7f) in May. Finished fourth at the same venue subsequently and is an interesting runner on handicap debut.

Form: 3/334-14

Soul Kaliber^b,t¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR: 105

10/1

Held in two starts since returning from a break including when fifth at Killarney (good) ten days ago. Blinkers worn for the first time that day are retained.

Form: 46P4-85

Dorkas^t¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: J R Finn| OR: 104| D

7/2

Victorious in a four runner novice hurdle at Sligo (2m4f, good) earlier this month. Interesting to see how she fares back over fences.

Form: 59-1851

Not For You⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: D J McInerney⁽³⁾| T: C Byrnes| OR: 102| C

4/1

Off the mark at the 18th attempt over fences when winning over an extended 2m4f at Killarney (good) recently. Remains of interest despite a 5lb rise in the weights.

Form: 34/2-F71

Grey Mountain Mist^p,t¹⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Flanagan| T: E Sheehy| OR: 100| CD

12/1

Successful over an extended 2m3f at Limerick (good) in May. Held over hurdles since and races off a mark 6lb higher than for that Limerick success.

Form: 1-P1084

Burning Issues^b¹³

Age: 11| Weight: 10-4| J: A W Short⁽⁵⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 92| D

25/1

Dual hurdles winner but placed just twice in 13 starts over fences. Finished 18L fifth at Limerick (2m, good) last time out and others make more appeal.

Form: 7UPU-85

Da Baba Elephant^t³⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-3| J: Danny Mullins| T: R McNally| OR: 91| BF| D

7/2

Placed over 2m4f at Hexham (good) on his seasonal debut last month. Pulled up here subsequently and others hold stronger claims.

Form: 2112-3P

Nevada Rose⁴¹

Age: 11| Weight: 9-10| J: Miss A O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: S Millar| OR: 84

66/1

Struggled in four starts since joining this yard. Most recent of those came on handicap debut at Downpatrick (2m1f, good) last month.

Form: UP/58-60

Forecasts

Da Baba Elephant (7/2), Dorkas (7/2), Not For You (4/1), Canny Tom (9/2), Sizing Rome (6/1), Soul Kaliber (10/1), Grey Mountain Mist (12/1), Burning Issues (25/1), Nevada Rose (66/1)

NOT FOR YOU can follow up his recent first victory over fences by taking this 2m4f handicap chase. The selection has the trip and ground in his favour and can get the better of Sizing Rome who is making his handicap debut in this contest. Top weight Canny Tom can claim third on his return to chasing.
