Off time: 12:51 | Winning time: -

Cristy's Call¹⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: D J McInerney⁽³⁾| T: R Hackett| OR: 95| D

33/1

Showed very little in a couple of handicap hurdle defeats last year and appears to need some relief from the handicapper before consideration.

Form: 6177/00

Load Up Time¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: J R Wildman⁽⁷⁾| T: G Elliott| OR: 95

20/1

Unable to halt a desolate run of form since maiden hurdle debut at Thurles in November. Looks a tall order on form shown.

Form: 0080

Black Ice^h²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: I J McCarthy| T: M Fahey| OR: 92| D

16/1

Distance winner who finished fifth of 23 last month in a Tramore handicap hurdle on stable debut. Entitled to make the shortlist.

Form: 46/00P-5

Thereisnodoubt^h⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: E O'Connell⁽⁵⁾| T: S Crawley| OR: 92

9/2

Still going well in a close up third when falling three out in a Thurles handicap hurdle when last seen in November on stable debut. Worth a market check.

Form: 3F9-00F

West Is Best¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: R Loughran| T: W J Lanigan| OR: 92

20/1

Nothing of note in three disappointing maiden hurdle starts since November, but could be of interest following any market move on handicap debut.

Form: 3-43005

Bantiss Jack^b1²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: D G Hogan| T: D Hogan| OR: 92

25/1

Beaten at least 69L in each of his last three maiden hurdle starts since November. Could be of interest on handicap debut in first-time blinkers.

Form: 0000

Camile^t³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: J J Slevin| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 89

7/2

Winner of a Leicester handicap hurdle over a similar trip last month on good to firm ground. Carried 4lb more here and should make her presence felt.

Form: 0/09P-01

Lord Boru^t⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: A McCurtin⁽³⁾| T: J J Walsh| OR: 88

7/2

Solid and consistent form in a couple of handicap hurdle starts recently at Tramore over a similar distance. Capable of running a big race.

Form: 008P/22

Magen's Moon²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: D P Carroll⁽⁷⁾| T: E Mullins| OR: 88

20/1

Finished 72L adrift of the highly thought of Relegate in a Naas maiden hurdle last month on stable debut. Needs to improve on handicap introduction.

Form: 000-0

The Mcgregornator^p,t¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: P D Kennedy| T: A Keatley| OR: 86

28/1

Regular visitor to the track but has appeared to have completely lost any semblance of ability since July. Out of form recently and hard to fancy.

Form: P-0U000

Punches Pious⁶⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: R P Treacy⁽³⁾| T: T Doyle| OR: 83

33/1

Eight-race maiden who has hit the frame on just the one occasion. Needs to show significant improvement in this company.

Form: 0/F0530-

Still Alive¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: L P Dempsey| T: A J McNamara| OR: 85| D

10/1

Distance winner of a Limerick handicap hurdle on soft ground when last seen over Christmas off a 5lb lower mark. Another bold show looks likely.

Form: 6B4341

Fly Round The Bend^t¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Flanagan| T: J J Walsh| OR: 81

7/1

Has flattered to deceive in a couple of runs since returning to action over hurdles in November. Even her best form would leave her short of what is required here.

Form: 488-075

Auction Reminder^b⁸⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Ricky Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: D Duggan| OR: 80

25/1

Regressing gelding by Daylami who has been well beaten in a number of dispiriting efforts in the last 12-months. Hard to construct much of a case for him in this contest.

Form: 98P-040

Boston Oscar^p¹⁸¹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-11| J: C J Orr⁽⁵⁾| T: D J Barry| OR: 80

50/1

10-race maiden hurdler who is yet to hit the frame. Heavy defeats last summer, including an 88L reversal when last seen in July makes her impossible to consider.

Form: 70/50-00

Roccorovermann^t¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Katie O'Farrell⁽⁵⁾| T: P Neville| OR: 80

25/1

Has produced a number of laboured runs in the last 12-months including when returning from a break in a Limerick handicap hurdle over Christmas. Needs to show significant improvement in this company.

Form: 60-0000

Mooborak⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: P J Flynn| OR: 87

14/1

Struggled since returning to action in October, including a heavy defeat on handicap debut on New year's day at Tramore. Unlikely to play a part in the finish.

Forecasts

Camile (7/2), Lord Boru (7/2), Thereisnodoubt (9/2), Fly Round The Bend (7/1), Still Alive (10/1), Mooborak (14/1), Black Ice (16/1), Load Up Time (20/1), West Is Best (20/1), Magen's Moon (20/1), Bantiss Jack (25/1), Roccorovermann (25/1), Auction Reminder (25/1), The Mcgregornator (28/1), Punches Pious (33/1), Cristy's Call (33/1), Boston Oscar (50/1)

CAMILE landed a Leicester handicap hurdle for connections last month and trainer Joseph O'Brien appears to have found an ideal opportunity for the six-year-old to follow up here off a 4lb higher mark. Lord Boru who has been solid and consistent form in a couple of handicap hurdle starts recently and last time out winner, Still Alive can emerge as the biggest dangers. Bantiss Jack for trainer Denis Hogan could go well at a price in first-time blinkers on handicap debut.
