Here For The Craic^p¹⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-12| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: D Budds| OR: 95| D

12/1

Running well in defeat on the Flat and when fourth of 13 behind Lleyton in a Tramore handicap hurdle last month. Could bump in to one or two better handicapped sorts.

Form: U0F/79-4

Jennys Grey³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: D N Russell| T: J Dullea| OR: 93| D

3/1

Distance winner who put in a promising round in a Gowran Park 2m handicap hurdle last month finishing third of 15. Yard among the winners on Sunday and likely to run well once again.

Form: 434-763

Derecho Storm⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Ms K Ferris⁽⁷⁾| T: Eoin Barry| OR: 91

40/1

Fortunate to finish second in a 2m3f Downpatrick maiden in August and overall form casts doubt on her ability to get competitive here.

Form: U-0026P

Rathnaleen Girl^h¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Jack Kennedy| T: P Byrne| OR: 91| D

13/2

Distance winner of a Wexford handicap hurdle over 18-months ago off a 9lb lower mark. Beaten since but handicapper taking no chances following a series of solid and consistent runs since August. Strong each-way claims.

Form: 433343

Jessamine^p1¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: M A Enright| T: P J Flynn| OR: 89

16/1

Modest seven race maiden hurdler and first time cheekpieces unlikely to bring about the required amount of progression needed to land a blow here.

Form: 9-8559U

Jimmy Rabbitte^h⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: D F O'Regan| T: D Broad| OR: 88

33/1

Midfield when brought down at Wexford last month but nothing to show in three maiden hurdles previously when sent off at no less than 40/1 and running accordingly on each occasion. Likely to find it tough going.

Form: 007-B

Bracka Lily¹⁸³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: C J Orr⁽⁷⁾| T: N C Kelly| OR: 86

33/1

Six-race maiden hurdler with the mare failing to finish in a couple of those starts. Difficult to construct much of a case for her here.

Form: 800P0-P

Chosen Flower^t²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: B J Geraghty| T: V T O'Brien| OR: 86

28/1

Has appeared overwhelmed in a number of starts recently and is left with something to prove on the balance of her form since August.

Form: 005630

Flowery²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Sean Flanagan| T: M Hourigan| OR: 84

6/1

Well down the pack in three dismal handicap hurdle efforts this term. Hard to fancy in a race this competitive.

Form: 670-000

Global Tour^t⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: R M Power| T: P W Flynn| OR: 84

7/1

Yet to make the frame in eight starts over timber, well held in a number of starts since August and overall form doesn't warrant support.

Form: 007065

Longtimesincejaspr¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: L P Dempsey| T: J P Dempsey| OR: 87

20/1

Largely well held in five career hurdle starts to date including a heavy 19½L defeat on handicap debut at Downpatrick in September. Others make more appeal.

Form: 00507

Fintown Boy^h⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Brian Hayes| T: M Winters| OR: 81

3/1

Definite promise on his last start when third of 12 at Clonmel on Thursday and anther bold show looks likely here. Yard among the winners recently with Churchtown Glen.

Form: 050-863

Oromo^t²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Robbie Colgan| T: K Thornton| OR: 80

16/1

Maiden after 15 starts over timber, often struggling in handicaps and doesn't appear to be a proposition until receiving relief from the handicapper.

Form: 277968

Scotch Quay¹⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Ricky Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: E Griffin| OR: 80

16/1

Well held and never nearer in four handicap hurdle spins between May and June this term. Hard to see him making any significant impact.

Form: 44-P970

Non-Runners

Emily Square¹³

Weight: 11-10| Age: 5

Forecasts

Fintown Boy (3/1), Jennys Grey (3/1), Flowery (6/1), Rathnaleen Girl (13/2), Global Tour (7/1), Emily Square (15/2), Grey Atlantic Way (8/1), Here For The Craic (12/1), Oromo (16/1), Scotch Quay (16/1), Jessamine (16/1), Longtimesincejaspr (20/1), Chosen Flower (28/1), Jimmy Rabbitte (33/1), Bracka Lily (33/1), Derecho Storm (40/1)

The Michael Winters-trained FINTOWN BOY can build on his third of 12 behind the useful Dontdooddson at Clonmel on Thursday and land the spoils in the closer here. The eight-year-old can get off the mark at the 11th time of asking at the expense of potentially improving sorts, Jennys Grey and Global Tour.
