Carrigmoorna Matt^p,t¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: T Scudamore| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 116| D

3/1

Stayed on well enough to score in similar event over a furlong less at Stratford last time and has decent claims despite having to concede his winner's penalty. Sure to be in the thick of the action.

Form: 542471

American Tom^h¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: R Johnson| T: O Murphy| OR: 124| BF

11/4

Showed plenty of class for Willie Mullins and was second in Grade 3 chase. Form deteriorated and was sold to current connections in September for just £6,500. Beaten at short odds both starts so far but well in on best of old form. Risky though.

Form: 67-5324

Ardera Cross^p,t¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 115

11/8

Hasn't won over hurdles since August 2017 but failed by only half a length when caught by Carigmoorna Matt last time. 6lb better off now so has to rate a major player if in similar mood.

Form: 533322

Oscar Hoof^p,t⁵⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 11-0| J: Edward Austin⁽⁷⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 115| D

10/1

One time useful performer but hasn't won since 2014. In veteran stage now and has twice been beaten at this level this term. Ran well in better race at Sandown last time but looks a risky proposition.

Form: 2P/2426

Rainy City^b,t¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Henry Brooke| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 115| D

20/1

Takes a marked drop back in trip and hasn't won over timber since June 2016. Some fair form among disappointing efforts this term and has consequently dropped in the handicap. Chance if on a going day and should race prominently.

Form: 944429

Donnas Dream²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Sean Quinlan| T: C Grant| OR: 105

25/1

10-racer maiden but went close in 2m4f Musselburgh h'cap hurdle on penultimate start. Probably didn't stay 3m last time. Gets weight from most of her rivals and should not be too far away.

Form: 263034

Leannes Lady²⁵⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: T J Phelan| T: A Berry

250/1

Poor mare who has shown nothing in five starts so far under Rules and is impossible to recommend on what we've seen thus far.

Form: 8R4P-37

Forecasts

Ardera Cross (11/8), American Tom (11/4), Carrigmoorna Matt (3/1), Oscar Hoof (10/1), Rainy City (20/1), Donnas Dream (25/1), Leannes Lady (250/1)

There are big question marks over most of these as is often the case in sellers, but ARDERA CROSS may be up to reversing form with Carigmoorna Matt having lost out by just half a length to that rival last time. He is now 6lb better off. American Tom would be the pick on most of his form but has proved expensive to follow recently and didn't look keen last time, while Oscar Hoof can't be ruled out and Donnas Dream has a squeak at the weights.
