Course winner that has also won over this trip. Successful at the Listowel festival last month, his third win of a busy summer. Likely to go well again.

20/1

74-rated Flat handicapper for Johnny Murtagh and has shown plenty of zip over fences recently landing a 2m4f novice chase at Killarney when last seen in August. Has struggled in this grade in the past.

Le Richebourg²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: B J Geraghty| T: J P O'Brien

11/8

Off the mark, as expected, on chasing debut in a Listowel beginners contest over 2m1f last month. Looks a leading player here.

Form: 6280-51

Camelia De Cotte^h²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: D J Mullins| T: W P Mullins| D

7/2

Lightly-raced mare who returned to winning ways at Roscommon in a beginners chase in August before following up at Listowel last month. Likely to improve and worth consideration here.

Form: 5/7F4-11

Moonlight Escape¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: M A Enright| T: G Elliott

25/1

One from three over the larger obstacles, winning a Sligo beginners contest on good ground last month. Looks a tall order in this level.

Form: 41U9-01

20/1

C&D winner here in July winning an 11-runner beginners contest and has remained in good form finding victory in a Killarney handicap chase when last seen in August. Tough ask.

Forecasts

Le Richebourg (11/8), Robin Des Foret (15/8), Camelia De Cotte (7/2), Cap D'Aubois (6/1), The Last Marju (20/1), Theatre Dreams (20/1), Moonlight Escape (25/1)

ROBIN DES FORET appears to be getting the hang of things over the larger obstacles and can build on a 14L win at the Listowel festival last month. Le Richebourg who got off the mark, as expected, on chasing debut in a Listowel beginners contest over 2m1f last month can prove to be the biggest danger, while Camelia De Cotte and Cap D'Aubois can fight for the minor honours.
