Brosna George^t⁸⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Paul Townend| T: A L T Moore| OR: 94

4/1

Not disgraced in a number of handicap hurdles since the turn of the year including finishing fifth of nine when last seen at Kilbeggan in July over 3m+ trip on good ground. Tough ask on stable debut.

Form: 4835-25

Can't Be Done^h1,t⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: D J Mullins| T: W F Treacy| OR: 94

13/2

Ballinrobe winner in August over 3m1f, runs from 5lb higher mark here and came to a halt alarmingly quick at Tipperary five days ago. Hood is added now.

Form: 93515P

Casadel Sol^b1⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Phillip Enright| T: K Purcell| OR: 91

12/1

Best effort so far over hurdles came at Tipperary (2m, good) in May, when beaten under 7L into fourth from 2lb higher. Fourth again at Clonmel (2m4f, good) last week, though beaten 20L this time, needs first-time blinkers to have an effect.

Form: 04-0404

Gliondar Mo Chroi^t²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: M A Enright| T: A Fogarty| OR: 91| D

6/1

Off the mark over timber at the 11th time of asking, landing 2m4f soft-to-heavy Ballinrobe handicap last month. Up 5lb for that but repeat effort will have him in the mix.

Form: 909261

Bective Cave^t⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-5| J: A E Lynch| T: M J Smith| OR: 88

11/1

Two wins from 24 starts over hurdles. Back on a more feasible mark now, had posted decent efforts at Sligo and Downpatrick in August, but weakened from the front under usual positive tactics at Gowran Park last week.

Form: F6-0428

Beeper's Ruby^t¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: A W Short⁽³⁾| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 87

20/1

Just the four starts over timber and has shown some promise in maiden hurdles at Down Royal and Downpatrick of late, merits a betting check now stepping into handicap company.

Form: 960-785

Zagnzig^h⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: A Ring| T: H Smyth| OR: 87| D

10/1

Neither prolific nor reliable, won a handicap at Down Royal (2m3½f, good) in May, still 3lb higher having failed to convince in three starts since.

Form: 48-1635

Bere Haven^t⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: K J Brouder⁽⁷⁾| T: Ian O'Connor| OR: 84

9/1

Made moderate progress for his age in 2017, but had failed to complete in both starts this year prior to 13¼L third of 13 at Clonmel (2m4f, good) this month. Runs off the same mark, likely targeting place money at best.

Form: 704-UP3

Glendaars Warrior^p1¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: C D Maxwell| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 84

14/1

Improvement on some desolate displays over hurdles since the turn of the year when fifth in a Sligo 2m handicap in August, but backwards steps since at Downpatrick means others are preferred.

Form: 809P-59

Randall's Aoibhinn^b,t⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Sean O'Keeffe⁽⁷⁾| T: S Fahey| OR: 82

16/1

Has looked decidedly moderate so far, although couldn't completely rule her out based on her short head second at Kilbeggan (3m1f, good) in July. Below that in four runs since, including at Clonmel last week over this trip.

Form: 428065

Northern Emperor^p³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: C J Orr⁽⁷⁾| T: V T O'Brien| OR: 80

14/1

Produced a couple of encouraging runs when returning to the track in May at Limerick and Listowel over this sort of trip. Poor last month at Clonmel however and now placed only once in 14 starts over timber.

Form: 867-486

Oromo^t⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Donagh Meyler| T: K Thornton| OR: 80

14/1

Maiden after 14 starts over timber, often struggling in handicaps, better effort Gowran Park (2m, good) this month off a break (beaten just over 6L) and interesting to see if he can now build on that.

Form: 927796

Steelyeyed^p¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: B Browne⁽⁵⁾| T: P Martin| OR: 85| C

16/1

Two wins on the Flat, but failed convince in four starts over timber and, despite staying on past beaten horses on handicap bow at Downpatrick last month, has work on to get competitive.

Form: 7-697

The Crane Man⁹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Brian Hayes| T: Thomas Coyle| OR: 80

28/1

Unplaced in seven starts over timber, pulled up both outings so far in 2018. First start since July and seems safest to adopt a cautious approach.

Form: 0080-PP

Vinabell^t²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: P E Corbett⁽³⁾| T: S Nolan| OR: 83

14/1

Not a lot to shout about in maidens, give a patient ride on handicap bow at Navan (2m6f, good to firm) but, despite making some progress, was soon rather one-paced. Eased a couple of pounds, but hard to make case for.

Form: 00900

Bard Of Armagh^p¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: D N Russell| T: A J Martin| OR: 84

12/1

Been mixing up running over fences and hurdles of late with not much fortune. Mark is slipping but hard to fancy in current mood (First Reserve).

Forecasts

Brosna George (4/1), Milomynit (9/2), Gliondar Mo Chroi (6/1), Can't Be Done (13/2), Dalouga (15/2), Bere Haven (9/1), Zagnzig (10/1), Bective Cave (11/1), Casadel Sol (12/1), Bard Of Armagh (12/1), Vinabell (14/1), Glendaars Warrior (14/1), Oromo (14/1), Northern Emperor (14/1), Tara Mia (14/1), Randall's Aoibhinn (16/1), Steelyeyed (16/1), Beeper's Ruby (20/1), The Crane Man (28/1)

MILOMYNIT made a solid start to life in handicaps when third at Downpatrick last time and, despite going up 3lb for that, is fancied to build on it for an in-form trainer with the form starting to work out quite well. Gliondar Mo Chroi picked up a first win over timber at Ballinrobe last time and can go well once more while handicap debutant Beeper's Ruby has given indications recently she could have a say from her opening mark. Brosna George starts out for a new trainer and has place claims on form.
