Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr N McParlan⁽³⁾| T: H Smyth

33/1

Held in four bumpers so far and was pulled-up on hurdling debut at Bellewstown when last seen in July. returns from a short break here but has questions to answer now.

Form: 9-085P

Happy Lad^p1,t²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr D O'Connor| T: H P Finegan

5/1

Modest form in a number of point-to-point starts since the turn of the year. Improved to be third in bumper at Downpatrick in June. Fair effort over hurdles last time and should be in the shake-up with cheekpieces added.

Form: P42-635

Mid Day Gun⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr W J Gleeson⁽⁷⁾| T: W P Mullins

10/1

Sent off odds-on on debut at Kilbeggan, ran somewhat green and finished only fifth of eight. Similar effort at Tramore last time and needs to improve on that to win.

Form: 53

Peace Party^t1³²

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr M J O'Hare⁽³⁾| T: D McDonogh

16/1

Gamut gelding whose dam was lightly raced in bumpers/over hurdles. Has failed to build on a couple of promising starts last term and readily passed over here.

Form: 238-86

Salty Boy¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Jodie Townend⁽⁷⁾| T: Ms M Mullins

1/1

Third of 15 beaten 14L behind the handy Dinons in a Roscommon maiden hurdle last month before a similar effort at Listowel last time. Leading player here.

Form: 1-34

Amor Verdadero

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Ms L O'Neill| T: L Lennon

14/1

Jeremy filly that cost €10,000 as a three-year-old. Dam was a winner of a bumper and a hurdle contest over 2m4f. Likely type on paper and top rider aboard. Market check needed.

Form:

Miss Aloud^h⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Mr J J Codd| T: G Elliott

11/4

25-1 and well beaten on debut. Much improved effort when a close second of 10 at Kelso last time. Sure to win races and top jockey booked.

Form: 62

Forecasts

Salty Boy (1/1), Miss Aloud (11/4), Happy Lad (5/1), Mid Day Gun (10/1), Amor Verdadero (14/1), Peace Party (16/1), Arizengo (33/1)

Salty Boy's hurdles form sets the standard here and he should be pretty tough to beat if translating that back into a bumper. Miss Aloud showed improved form at Kelso last time and is feared. AMOR VERDADERO has a nice pedigree and could well make a winning debut under rules.
