33/1
10lb lower than when beaten 3L over this C&D in November 2016 on sole previous visit. Could have a chance on that evidence, first start since June and market likely reveals plenty.

All four career wins have come at around 1m2½f, three of them here. Mixed bag of efforts this year and opposable given question to answer over stamina.

Handles this surface and scored over 1m6f at Navan (good) in October. Pair of runs over hurdles since, confirming stamina for this test at Fairyhouse when third in a maiden.

Out of sorts over fences, beaten a long, long way in one previous AW start over this C&D in March. Hard to recommend.

11-race maiden, attempted to make all over C&D earlier in the month back on the AW (hurdling previously), but faded to be beaten 7L in the end. More required.

Placed six times in 12 starts here, though only one success. Capable but stamina for this trip must be proved.

Dual-purpose performer, in good form in both codes lately. Tramore winner over this trip in August, narrowly denied at Naas last month and won and finished second over hurdles. Career-high mark now for AW bow.

Won three in a row on AW for Mark Johnston a couple of winters ago but hasn't won since. Uncompetitive in four starts here recently and needs return to 2m to spark massive turnaround.

Maiden winner here over a mile in February 2017 for Mick Halford. Lost his way since and very little to be positive about in 2018 effort for this yard, both over hurdles and on the Flat.

Now 12-years-old and while running a better race from reduced mark here over 1m4f last month, remains opposable and most of recent form is poor.

Maiden hurdle winner at Thurles last month, held in two handicaps since. Handles this surface and well capable of getting involved from this mark.

Home-bred Teofilo filly, won over this trip at Thurles in October from 6lb lower mark. Disappointed here last month over 1m4f on sole AW try however and would need to show enthusiasm on this surface before supporting.

Useful 125-rated handicap hurdler who has hit the frame on a couple of occasions around here over shorter trips. Should be suited by this stamina test and worth some thought.

Has handled this surface well enough in four visits, without winning. Has a new trip to tackle here and market can be telling.

Verdict

Useful hurdler TIME FOR MABEL handles this surface without concern and, while yet to win around here, has run well in the past. Last month's success at Clonmel over 3m showed her liking for a stamina test and she'll get that here. She's on a good mark and can go well at a decent price. Dual-purpose performer Jake Peter is in excellent heart and rates a danger while Los Alamos and Trump Card are both dangers reverting back here from hurdling. Any money for top-weight Alton Bay is notable, as he could be on a promising mark based on one previous try over C&D in 2016.
