Well held on a British raid to Bangor-On-Dee last month but strong claims on a third of nine beaten 3½L here over 2m1f last month. Of the yards 63 winners this season, 35 have been over timber.
Last of nine in a 2m bumper at Wexford on Monday. First-time blinkers will have to work some magic here following a 19L defeat on hurdling debut last month.
Modest form in a number of bumper starts and fell in a point-to-point on latest appearance last month. Hard to fancy until she shows a hint of ability.
Modest in a number of point-to-point starts earlier in the year and well down the field in a couple of maiden hurdle spins in August. Looks vulnerable in this company.
Forecasts
Ozzie's Way (8/11), Markhan (3/1), Hollow Crest (11/2), Baile Liam (16/1), Make Me Merry (25/1)
Appears to be a straight match between the Gordon Elliott-trained Markhan and the solid and consistent OZZIE'S WAY who can put his experience on this surface to good use here, winning his first hurdle at the eighth time of asking. Make Me Merry looks the best of the rest.
