Chateau Conti⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Hugh Horgan⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J P O'Brien

16/1

Twice a winner over hurdles in his time and clearly better was expected here last time out, went off 9-4 for a similar event as this, but blew out and finished last. Trip probably on the short side here as well and very risky at present.

Form: 7

Luna's Luck^p1⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Ronan Whelan| T: M Halford| OR: 67| CD

10/11

Fully effective over C&D, and came good here last October, staying on late to grab the prize on the line. Short break may help his cause and he looks to have place chances at worst here.

Form: 06415-6

Tennesse Waltz^b¹²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Lee| T: D Marnane| OR: 60| CD

9/2

Five wins in 42 starts, two of them here and one over C&D, not seen out since last November but has run well after a break before. Has chances of hitting the frame if ready to go.

Your Pal Tal¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: D W O'Connor⁽⁵⁾| T: J F Levins| OR: 56| C

7/1

Has loads of form around here, and was only beaten half a length in a low-grade handicap here last time, but all wins have come at shorter and he tends to find this too much of a stretch.

Form: 07-2254

Connemera Queen¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Colin Keane| T: S Donohoe| OR: 67| D

10/1

Winner for John Butler at Kempton last October, but two starts for this yard have seen her pull up few trees. May be fitter now but still plenty to take on trust at present.

Form: 4091-00

Somelife^p1³¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Ross Coakley⁽³⁾| T: M Fahey

66/1

Tailed off all three starts and hard to see where the necessary improvement to get involved is coming from tonight.

Form: 900-

Seanie^b¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 9-2| J: Robbie Colgan| T: K Thornton| OR: 51| CD

22/1

Winner here last April but then changed yards and hasn't won one since, despite the odd decent effort. Not beaten far last two starts but when all is said and done, has a hard task at the weights.

Form: 7000-49

Pacolita^p1¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Leigh Roche| T: S Donohoe| OR: 70| D

33/1

Last of 14 on latest start, that coming after a two year absence previously, and seems to have little chance here.

Forecasts

Luna's Luck (10/11), Tennesse Waltz (9/2), Al Batal (6/1), Your Pal Tal (7/1), Connemera Queen (10/1), Chateau Conti (16/1), Seanie (22/1), Bazzat (25/1), Penny Green (25/1), Pacolita (33/1), Somelife (66/1)

LUNA'S LUCK may be good enough to win a modest opening contest. In the hope a short break has revived him, he's taken to beat Tennessee Waltz, who has form around here and has chances at the weights. Chateau Conti comes with risks but clearly better was expected last time out. Seanie has place chances too.
