Jim Strang & Sons Kilsheelan (Peugeot) Hurdle

Off time: 13:16 | Winning time: 6m 21.5s

Chateau Conti¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: J J Slevin| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 139

14/1

Useful hurdler who hasn't taken to fences, falling in a novice chase at Navan (2m1f) on latest start;poss ible that this run is intended as a confidence booster, but entitled to respect, and market useful.

Form: 0-3UF4F

Prince Garyantle^p,t¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: A W Short⁽³⁾| T: M J Smith| OR: 132| C

8/1

Won decent handicap at Punchestown in April over 2m5f, and didn't shape badly when sixth of 13 to Walk To Freedom at Navan on recent return. Will improve for that, but no easy task at these weights.

Form: 810-336

Westland Row^t¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott| OR: 128

7/1

Blundered and unseated rider on return to the track at Navan last month following a long absence (won three times as a novice). Quickly turned out once again, but has a bit to find even if back to pick of his novice form.

Form: 21010-U

Robbin'hannon³¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: D E Mullins| T: M A Gunn| OR: 132| D

33/1

Dual hurdles winner at up to 2m7f for Philip Hobbs, but ran poorly on chase debut at Doncaster in January, and something to prove having moved yards since.

Form: 12/1204-

Scarpeta²⁰⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| OR: 147

1/2

Smart form when fourth in Ballymore at Cheltenham Festival in March. Beaten at skinny odds on Flat at Killarney in May, but has outstanding form claims on return to timber.

Form: 3143P-

Val De Ferbet^t³²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: B J Cooper| T: A McNamara| OR: 135| C| D

7/1

Won a Flat maiden here in May, but mixed bag over fences since, falling in Cork Grand National last time, and limited appeal even if back to his best here.

Form: 43-P42F

Ask Mary⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: P E Corbett⁽³⁾| T: R H Lalor| D

33/1

Prolific winner in point-to-points, but just modest form in two starts over hurdles last month, and out of her depth here.

Form: 111-P56

Forecasts

Scarpeta (1/2), Westland Row (7/1), Val De Ferbet (7/1), Prince Garyantle (8/1), Chateau Conti (14/1), Robbin'hannon (33/1), Ask Mary (33/1)

SCARPETA stands out on the ratings, and looks hard to beat on his return to hurdles, especially with main rival Chateau Conti possibly short on confidence after some misadventures over fences of late. Westland Row is best of the rest, assuming he's none the worse for being brought down on his belated return.
