Dark Outsider^p²³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Danny Mullins| T: J Dullea| OR: 105| C| D

7/1

Course winner that won over the trip in May in a Wexford handicap chase on good ground off a 4lb lower mark. Generally well held over fences since but has conditions to go close here.

Form: 0-81343

Patsio^b²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-11| J: Donagh Meyler| T: J R Barry| OR: 104| CD

5/1

Distance winner that has a course win to his name. Sixth of 15 beaten over 13L here in a handicap hurdle on Friday. Still racing 6lb higher than last winning mark and may have to settle for a place.

Form: 0615-06

Bellgrove²³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: D N Russell| T: P M Cloke| OR: 100| D

10/1

Distance winner but they have come over four years ago and remains just one from 33 over the larger obstacles. Likely to find one or two better handicap lurking here.

Form: P5-5544

Icelip^t³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean Flanagan| T: D M O'Brien| OR: 100| CD

4/1

C&D winner in June off a 7lb lower mark beating nine rivals over 4l on good ground. Beaten 34L over fences since but posted decent form in a handicap hurdle here on Thursday and worth a market check on quick return here.

Form: 931325

Native Lass^p,t²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: M Winters| OR: 99| D

7/2

Runner-up on her last two starts including over the larger obstacles at Clonmel in June. Has the form to make a bold bid.

Form: 208-422

Seskin Flyer^h¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: A Ring| T: P Carey| OR: 96| CD

9/1

Winner over this trip here on the hurdles course back in December. Still without a win in six starts over fences and first time hood doubtful to bring about the required amount of progress needed to play a role here.

Form: 6-742P0

Just A Normal Day^b²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Miss C Daffy⁽⁷⁾| T: D Howard| OR: 95

7/1

Well beaten and no impression on the winners - despite finishing positions - on his most recent starts at Clonmel and Tipperary over the summer. Liable to find a couple stronger.

Form: 455-043

Invincible Don²⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 10-10| J: Phillip Enright| T: J Morrison| OR: 89| BF| C| D

9/1

Distance winner who wil have disappointed supporters when finishing fourth of 16 beaten over 10L as beaten favourite in a Tipperary handicap last month and remains a 16-race chase maiden.

Form: 70-7924

Okey Dokey^p1,t²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: A W Short⁽⁵⁾| T: P Griffin| OR: 86

33/1

Well beaten over hurdles and in his first couple of chase starts over the summer and first time cheekpieces unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.

Form: U788-08

Caoimhe Diva^p,t²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: K J Brouder⁽⁷⁾| T: D Howard| OR: 76

20/1

Put a number of disappointing performances behind him when finishing third of 16 beaten over 9L in a 2m4f Tipperary handicap chase last month. Difficult to see him repeating the form of that run here.

Form: 6P-P7P3

Forecasts

Native Lass (7/2), Icelip (4/1), Patsio (5/1), Just A Normal Day (7/1), Dark Outsider (7/1), Seskin Flyer (9/1), Invincible Don (9/1), Bellgrove (10/1), Caoimhe Diva (20/1), Okey Dokey (33/1)

Winner on four occasions here ICELIP is taken to land the spoils here building on his C&D win here in June off a 7lb lower mark with winning jockey Sean Flanagan in the plate. Distance winner, Native Lass, course winner Dark Outsider and last time out beaten favourite Invincible Don are all worthy of consideration in this tight renewal.
