7/2
Well held in three below par maiden hurdle displays since May and first-time cheekpieces unlikely to bring about any great improvement.

66/1
Nine-race maiden hurdler who has been well beaten in a number of recent starts since June. Racing 13lb lower than initial handicap mark but this still looks a tall order on form shown.

10/3
Plenty to like about an improved run in a Tramore 2m maiden hurdle when last seen in June finishing a little over 3L adrift of Rio Lobo. Could be capable of having his say here.

11/4
Will have disappointed influential connections in a series of gloomy displays over hurdles since the turn of the year. Worth a check in the betting on return to action here.

7/1
Well backed on hurdling debut to land a Tramore 2m maiden hurdle last month but the Court Cave gelding ended up a well beaten favourite. Market likely to be the best guide here.

12/1
Point-to-point winner who showed glimpses of ability in a couple of bumpers since the turn of the year. Found to be 'clinically abnormal' on hurdling debut but hard to place any faith in here.

14/1
Down the field in a number of hurdling starts since June and first-time cheekpieces unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to take a hand in the finish.

7/1
Slight improvement on her laboured maiden hurdle spins when switched to handicap company but will need to improve once again in this contest.

Unseated latest when beaten in a Downpatrick 2m5½f handicap hurdle when last seen in May. Likely to find this a tough assignment.

Forecasts

Featherinyourcap (11/4), Churchtown Glen (10/3), Ballinlina Boy (7/2), Ourauldman (7/1), Miss Echrad (7/1), Aoibhe's Beau (12/1), Holy Motivation (14/1), Montys Angel (33/1), Tidal River (33/1), Catch My Drift (66/1), Sizing Julie (66/1)

Verdict

There was plenty to like about the improvement offered by CHURCHTOWN GLEN last time out running the improving Rio Lobo to 3¾L in a Tramore 2m maiden hurdle when last seen in June and the Michael Winters-trained gelding can see off the challenge form the likes of Ourauldman, beaten favourite last month at Tramore, Miss Echrad and the Gordon Elliott-trained Holy Motivation who can go well at a price.
  1. Churchtown Glen
  2. Ourauldman
  3. Holy Motivation
