10/1

Irish Flat maiden (0-5) for Dermot Weld; joined current connections for £14,000 in September 2018; best effort came at Leopardstown (7f, good to firm) in May 2018; dam was a half-sister to a couple of useful Flat stayers.

Another Reason²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: R Johnson| T: O Murphy

6/1

67-rated AW winner (1m4f); 8-1, when finishing sixth of ten to Green Etoile on hurdles debut at Hexham (2m, good to soft); Richard Johnson is booked to do the steering on this occasion; work to do with many of these rivals.

Form: 6

Fast Art²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: James Davies| T: S Durack

10/1

Four-race Flat maiden (7f-1m); 25/1, when finishing fourth of ten to Green Etoile on hurdles debut at Hexham (2m, good to soft); must improve in order to reverse placings with Whiskey And Water.

Form: 4

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: J E Moore| T: J & S Best

40/1

Six-race Flat maiden (5f-1m2f); off the track for 239 days; very difficult to fancy now switched to hurdling.

Form:

Two Blondes²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr

9/1

Made all of the running when winning twice as a juvenile for former trainer Mick Channon (7f-1m); lost his way on the Flat after a reasonable start to his 3yo career; goes hurdling now for new connections; stamina reserves?

Form:

What Will Be²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy

7/2

Seven-race Flat maiden (61-rated); close third over 1m at Newcastle on his penultimate start; half-brother to the winning 2m hurdler Crafty Power, so has the scope for this game; possible stable second string to Another Reason.

Form:

Whiskey And Water²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Henry Brooke| T: B Ellison

5/4

Six-race Flat maiden (74-rated); did everything right bar win on hurdles debut at Hexham (2m, good to soft) earlier this month; jumped impeccably in going down by a short-head to the promising Green Etoile; boasts rock-solid credentials.

Form: 2

Lady Shanawell²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam

14/1

50/1, when finishing fifth of ten on hurdles debut at Hexham (2m, good to soft) in a race which featured a number of today's rivals; also holds an entry on the Flat at Ripon on Thursday; unlikely winner.

Form: 5

Pola Chance^h1

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: David Noonan| T: N J Hawke

40/1

Cost €5,500 as a juvenile; fourth foal; half-sister to the French 2m1f hurdle winners Irish Sweeps and Riskly Mix; hooded for racecourse debut.

Form:

Romany Rose¹⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: Adrian Heskin| T: C R Dore

66/1

Very lowly-rated Flat maiden (0-5); has scarcely beaten a single rival to date (7f-1m2f); not the obvious solution on hurdles debut.

Forecasts

Whiskey And Water (5/4), What Will Be (7/2), Another Reason (6/1), Two Blondes (9/1), Fast Art (10/1), Andaleep (10/1), Lady Shanawell (14/1), Pola Chance (40/1), Milldean Felix (40/1), Romany Rose (66/1)

WHISKEY AND WATER created a very positive impression when going down by a short-head to the promising Green Etoile on hurdles debut at Hexham three weeks ago. Jumping impeccably throughout he always had the measure of of today's reopposing rivals (Fast Art, Lady Shanawell and Another Reason) and as a result has the look and feel of the proverbial 'good thing'.
