Form:

Monbeg Worldwide³⁰⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott| BF| D

11/8

Smart form in bumpers last term and, unsurprisingly, a warm order ahead of his hurdling bow at Fairyhouse when second of 16 behind Jetz, before being well held when last seen at Clonmel in December.

Form: 1111/23-

Pike County⁷⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: B J Geraghty| T: Mrs D Foster

14/1

Won a 2m1½f Ballinrobe bumper in July on fourth start, makes hurdles debut here and has the assistance of Barry Geraghty to help, one for the shortlist.

Form: 6-521

Sweet Flight⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| D

7/2

All round German bred progeny by Adlerflug out of a Protekor mare. Second of 13 beaten 4L on hurdling introduction in August but should improve on that run here.

Form: 12

Advena⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: C J Orr⁽⁷⁾| T: G O'Loughlin

66/1

Well held and never nearer in a couple of career starts at Bellewstown and on hurdling debut at Roscommon recently. Likely to struggle.

Form: 99

Arch Melody²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: John J Fitzpatrick⁽⁷⁾| T: J Morrison

66/1

Returned decent enough point-to-point figures in the spring but has generally struggled in a couple of maiden hurdles recently. Very little to be positive about.

Form: B-44178

Betterask Jj^t²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: A McCurtin⁽³⁾| T: J J Walsh

66/1

Ask gelding who dam was a fairly modest bumper winner. Promising sixth of 13 on debut in a Listowel bumper last month. Worth a market check.

Form: 6

Cherokee Bill²⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr E Walsh⁽⁷⁾| T: N Meade

33/1

Failed to build on a promising third of 16 on maiden hurdle debut with a couple of heavy defeats. Not seen since February and best watched.

Form: 35/379-

Choungaya^t⁹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Mark Walsh| T: J P O'Brien

8/1

Appears to be starting to progress following a 1½L defeat last time out in a bumper here last month finishing second behind a Willie Mullins hot-pot before bumping in to a couple of progressive types at Wexford when last seen in July.

Form: 73-23

Criq Sun¹⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: M A Enright| T: L Fowler

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: P E Corbett⁽³⁾| T: Charlie Keegan

100/1

First time hood fitted on debut for the gelding by Definite Article out of a Shirley Heights mare. Watching brief on debut.

Form:

Rare Conor⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: J M Moore| T: T Gibney

9/1

Undone by jumping at Killarney in August, has shown some ability over hurdles however if brushing up in that department. Place claims.

Form: 56/44-24

Tibetan Gold¹⁶⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: R M Power| T: W J Burke

40/1

Pulled up on sole career start in a point-to-point in April. Looks a long-term prospect and best watched here.

Form: P-

Visioman³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 115

9/2

Beaten favourite when finishing second of 13 behind the impressive Gordon Elliott-trained Silver Star at Kilbeggan last month. More to come.

Form: 596-2D2

Dont Go Mad¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: K J Brouder⁽⁷⁾| T: C Byrnes

50/1

Alkaadhem gelding out of a Mister Lord mare. Half-brother to game sorts A Hare Breath and The Organist. Sown very little so far and others appear to look more likely.

Form: 45-06

French Furze

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Mr L P Gilligan⁽⁷⁾| T: A Fleming

50/1

By Jeremy out of a Galileo mare. Half brother to the smart Our Conor. Will possibly need more time and best watched on debut.

50/1

Gelding by Vinnie Roe out of a Tarrawarra mare. Half-brother to recent winners Sonic and Noah And The Ark. Looks a long term prospect.
