Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Ricky Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: C O'Dwyer| OR: 104

8/1

Nine-race maiden who has been largely well held on a couple of chase starts to date. First time visor less likely to bring about the required amount of progression needed to land a blow here.

Form: 56-0828

6/1

Encouraging second of 11 beaten 4L in a 3m Listowel handicap chase at the festival earlier this month. Would not have to up his game much to land a blow here.

Hitdroadjack⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead

6/1

Form: 670230

Kilbrew Gold^t¹⁰³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: R M Power| T: H De Bromhead

5/1

Modest form in three maiden hurdles since November including a 66L defeat before an encouraging third of 11 beaten a little over 9L on chasing debut when last seen in June. Worth a market check.

Form: 2/34-03

Unchago^t³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Brian Hayes| T: M M McNiff

33/1

Modest hurdler who was well held on return to the track following a years break before a 52L defeat on chasing introduction last month. Has plenty to prove at present.

Form: 483-46

Shipwreck²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: A W Short⁽⁵⁾| T: C A McBratney| D

20/1

Generally well held when finishing down the field since victory in June. Out of sorts recently and this looks a tough task on chasing bow.

Form: 618744

Callthebarman^t¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: J B Kane⁽⁵⁾| T: G P Cromwell

9/1

Modest 106-rated handicap hurdler who steps up in trip for his first taste of life over the larger obstacles. May find this a tough assignment.

Form: 1-19880

Non-Runners

Touch Base¹⁴

Weight: 11-12| Age: 6

T: G Elliott J: L P Dempsey

Forecasts

Boston Spray (5/1), Kilbrew Gold (5/1), Georges Conn (6/1), Buck A Trend (6/1), Hitdroadjack (6/1), Ballybrowney Jack (7/1), Celebrity Status (8/1), Touch Base (8/1), Callthebarman (9/1), Fruits Of Glory (16/1), Shipwreck (20/1), Unchago (33/1)

The double handed Henry De Bromhead can land the spoils here with Downpatrick third, KILBREW GOLD who can improve on his chasing debut when last seen in June and fight of the interest from the perennial, Georges Conn and the potentially exciting Buck A Trend. A market note may be needed for the Gordon Elliott-trained Touch Base.
