Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: K J Brouder⁽⁷⁾| T: P W Flynn| OR: 102

20/1

Five-race maiden hurdler recently seen mixing Flat and chasing without success. Plenty to prove at present.

Form: 3/360-05

Age: 10| Weight: 11-10| J: R Loughran| T: S Nolan| OR: 100| BF

12/1

Losing run goes back to August last year with four runner-up finishes costing the gelding in the ratings. Hold strong place claims once again.

Form: 0-72682

Cusp Of Carabelli³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: B J Geraghty| T: D M O'Brien| OR: 99

16/1

Runner up in a 2m5f Tramore maiden hurdle last month beaten a little over 6L behind Getareason. Fourth hurdle defeat looks on the cards.

Form: P65082

Neddyvaughan^b⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Darragh O'Keeffe⁽⁷⁾| T: P Roche| OR: 99

7/1

Solid and consistent in a number of starts since July including finishing runner-up in a Sligo handicap hurdle last month before another bold show at Killarney. Beaten latest but conditions to suit here.

Form: 7-P3228

Famous Day^t¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: B Browne⁽⁵⁾| T: O McKiernan| OR: 95

20/1

Game sort who is without a win in 15 starts over hurdles and deserves a change in luck. Will need to raise overall performance to play a role here.

Form: 696724

Sinndar Sandy^p⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: H P Cleary⁽⁷⁾| T: Michael G Cleary| OR: 95

25/1

Won a soft-ground maiden hurdle at Sligo over extended two-miles in 2016 and has run well in defeat in a couple of starts since July. Has the form to make a bold bid.

Form: 1/22

Messie^h⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Jack Kennedy| T: S Ryan| OR: 94

11/2

Running well in defeat recently and the gutsy Indian Danehill gelding is one for the shortlist in this company.

Form: 7-83233

Caerleon Kate¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: D F O'Regan| T: C A McBratney| OR: 93

20/1

27 race maiden ran well to finish runner-up in a maiden hurdle at Downpatrick in July but has generally disappointed since in a couple of below-par performances since.

Form: 062744

Maighnealta^t²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: Mr L P Gilligan⁽⁷⁾| T: D McDonogh| OR: 93

14/1

Two from 24 over hurdles but her most recent win over timber came in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse coming up to two tears ago off a 2lb lower mark. Well below par form since looks set to continue here.

Form: 548-653

Hernandoshideaway^h⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Paul Townend| T: Miss A Mooney| OR: 92

8/1

Hints of promise latest at Leopardstown last month but has been largely in a number of defeats since February.

Form: 000-38

The Brig³⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Ricky Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: J G Coogan| OR: 91

28/1

Well held in a number of handicap hurdle spins since returning to the track in May and remains a 12-race maiden over timber.

Form: P00-709

Glamorous Gold¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: H Morgan⁽⁷⁾| T: N Stokes| OR: 90

8/1

Lightly-raced maiden, finished creditable fifth of 15 in a Tramore maiden last month before finishing third of 14 beaten 11L in a Wexford handicap earlier this month. Tough ask.

Form: 00-8753

Kilkeaskin Molly²³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: L P Dempsey| T: J P Dempsey| OR: 95

12/1

Appears to have her own ideas on the game being well beaten on four starts and running out before the eighth in a 2m5f maiden at Tramore before a promising second of 13 beaten 3L at Down Royal last month. Consistency not a strong point.

Form: 4670R2

Lady Of The Sea^b⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: B J Cooper| T: P Nolan| OR: 90

16/1

Weakened quickly with something possibly amiss at Downpatrick latest following a couple of solid starts in the summer. Market likely to be the best guide on return.

Form: U34219

Fr Gilligansvoyge^t1¹⁷⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Donagh Meyler| T: J G Carr| OR: 89

33/1

Seven race maiden not seen since finishing sixth of 10 at Clonmel in March. First time tongue-tie unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.

Form: 099506-

Quiet Account²³

Age: 10| Weight: 10-13| J: Mr N McParlan⁽³⁾| T: C A McBratney| OR: 89

50/1

Six-race maiden hurdler who has been chasing of late. Nothing in hurdle or recent form to suggest a big run is on the horizon.

Form: P5-5560

Lagenod¹¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: A E Lynch| T: R Sweeney| OR: 87

12/1

Not disgraced in two handicap hurdle starts last season before a promising second of 18 beaten 6L in a competitive handicap hurdle at the Listowel festival recently, but has work to do to play a role in the finish.

Form: 0930P-2

Maureen's Star⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: D J McInerney⁽³⁾| T: L Lennon| OR: 87

25/1

Took 17 starts to get off the mark over hurdles finally doing so in a Perth novice handicap over 3m taking advantage of some carnage at the last. Well held since and is opposable on recent form.

Form: 99313F

McCrackens Gate^p1³³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: J M Moore| T: T Gibney| OR: 87

33/1

Nothing of note in a series of dismal displays over hurdles since the turn of the year including a couple of heavy defeats this term. Hard to place any faith in.

Form: 70-0007

Olive D'Haguenet^t¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: A W Short⁽⁵⁾| T: I Madden| OR: 87

25/1

Beaten a total of 193L on last couple of starts over hurdles and little hope of any improvement here.

Form: P0756

Dan Gun¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: M A Enright| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 90

50/1

Seven-race maiden hurdler who produced an improved effort when finishing fifth at Roscommon in July before disappointing on a British raid to Sedgefield earlier in the month. Worth a check in the market in his contest.

Form: 70-8050

Mountmellick Girl^b³¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: D J Mullins| T: B W Duke| OR: 85

25/1

Eight-race maiden and pulled up when last seen in a handicap hurdle at Taunton in November. Easy to predict a difficult time ahead.

Form: 67P/36P-

Court Adjourned^t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: C D Maxwell| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 84

40/1

17-race maiden who is without a win or a place in nine starts over hurdles. Losing run looks set to continue barring a dramatic turnaround.

Form: 59PP8-6

Vinabell^t³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: P E Corbett⁽³⁾| T: S Nolan| OR: 85

50/1

Well held when finishing down the field in three maiden hurdle starts to date and others look to be progressing at a quicker rate here.

Form: 0090

Vellutato³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: M J Bolger| T: W J Martin| OR: 83

33/1

First Reserve: Nothing of note in a number of disappointing displays over the larger obstacles since May, well held on each occasion. Opposable on return to hurdling.

Form: 7-0505P

The Broom Squire^t⁶¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: J P O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 83

33/1

Second Reserve: Coming in to some kind of form when last seen during the summer running well in defeat at Roscommon and Ballinrobe. One to note if getting a run.

Form: 0-70P23

Brave Love⁷⁷²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-7| J: Phillip Enright| T: L Whitmore| OR: 83

County Sligo trainer Brian McMahon can saddle SE MO LAOCH to land the spoils here to follow up his win at Kilbeggan 3m1f handicap hurdle earlier this month getting off the mark for connections at the 18th time of asking. The solid Isle Of Destiny, could be of interest for leading trainer/jockey combination and is certainly capable of hitting the frame here along with Glamorous Gold and Dan Gun.
