Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Dale Irving⁽³⁾| T: M A Barnes| OR: 91

Well beaten in two completed starts over hurdles since joining this yard. More needed if he's to break his maiden in this contest.

Form: 8-P86

1/9

Heavy ground maiden hurdle winner over 2m at Thurles in March and placed in a 2m4f novice contest at Roscommon (good) last time out. Likely to prove hard to beat on his return from a break.

Form: 241F-43

Stoney Rover²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: S Mulqueen⁽³⁾| T: K Scott

10/1

Placed in a couple of Irish point-to-points earlier this year but unseated early on in a Kelso maiden hurdle over 2m on good ground on Saturday. Interesting to see how he fares.

Form: 3-73U

Ringaringarosie¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Henry Brooke| T: M Todhunter

66/1

Pulled up in two point-to-points in the spring and well held on both starts over hurdles so far. Likely to struggle in this contest.

Forecasts

Scheu Time (1/9), Stoney Rover (10/1), Oh No (16/1), Ringaringarosie (66/1)

SCHEU TIME can record a second hurdling victory by taking this small field novice contest. The selection finish runner-up in a much stronger contest last time and he is taken to see off his rivals here with Stoney Rover, who showed promise in point-to-points earlier this year capable of claiming second ahead of Oh No.
