All For Nothing^p1⁶²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: C D Maxwell| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 111

6/1

Lightly-raced maiden over timber, decent fifth of 11 in novice hurdle at Gowran (20f, good) in June. Cheekpieces added now and has prospects of getting in the mix.

Form: 8835

Koroleva^h¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| BF

4/5

Cork bumper winner last month, very promising second of 24 in novice hurdle at Cork (2m, good to soft) on hurdles bow since and not a big shock if going one better for the champion trainer.

Form: 25-612

Cooldine Bog¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: C A Landers⁽⁵⁾| T: A Slattery| OR: 103

11/4

Third of nine in novice hurdle here last time out over similar trip, having perhaps made move too soon. That still an encouraging effort and cannot be discounted.

Form: 7-52443

Drole D'artiste^t¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Mark Walsh| T: J P O'Brien

14/1

Gelding by Kingsalsa out of a Passing Sale mare, not shown enough in either start so far to warrant support here.

Form: 0-0

Ozzie's Way^t¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: D G Hogan| T: D Hogan| OR: 104

7/1

Fair form over hurdles so far and beaten 15L in a soft-ground bumper at Galway prior to Fair form over hurdles so far and beaten 15L in a soft ground bumper at Galway recently and since run well in Sligo maiden hurdle. Does need more though.

Form: 566863

Worzel Gummidge¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr P J O'Neill⁽⁷⁾| T: John F O'Neill

50/1

Poor in point-to-point, once-raced under rules having finished 12th of 15 in novice hurdle at Roscommon this month, sent off 66/1. Hard to recommend.

Form: 4-0

Coral Cluster⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: R P Treacy⁽³⁾| T: G T Lynch

66/1

An 18-race maiden on the Flat, made debut for this stable after 706 days off when coming home in his own time at Roscommon four days ago. Hurdles bow. Big ask.

Form:

Dream On Sophie

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: R Loughran| T: M Hassett

50/1

Oscar mare, dam, maiden pointer, a half-sister to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 3m) Captain Kelly. Make debut here and potentially going to learn from it.

Form:

Make Me Merry^t⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: M J Bolger| T: S M O'Donoghue

50/1

Presenting mare, could manage only ninth of 13 in novice hurdle at Tramore (2m5f, good) on debut five days ago. Looks an unlikely winner for now.

Form: P/PR-649

Forecasts

Koroleva (4/5), Cooldine Bog (11/4), Dasmyhoss (4/1), All For Nothing (6/1), Ozzie's Way (7/1), Drole D'artiste (14/1), Make Me Merry (50/1), Worzel Gummidge (50/1), Dream On Sophie (50/1), Coral Cluster (66/1)

Bumper winner KOROLEVA was runner-up on first start over timber next time out and won't need to any kind of superstar to go one better here for the champion trainer. She looks the most likely winner. Cooldine Bog perhaps committed too soon here last time in finishing third and is respected while Ozzie's Way and All For Nothing can have place claims.
