Act Of God^h²²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: B J Cooper| T: E J O'Grady

5/2

In good form right now, landing a Tramore maiden hurdle at the end of May before finishing third of 12 in a Leopardstown 1m7f maiden last month. More than capable of posting another win on the board.

Form: 1

Coolongolook³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: D F O'Regan| T: G Elliott

11/2

Solid once-rated 85 on the Flat for trainer Luca Cumani. Hurdling career has started well winning a Downpatraick maiden in May. Beaten since but fancied to go well at this level.

Form: 5-14

Feel Des Mottes⁵⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: J J Slevin| T: Miss E Doyle| D

9/1

Off the mark over hurdles on debut in a 2m1f maiden at Killarney in May. Looks to be a progressive sort and merits plenty of respect.

Form: 4/3-1

Quantatmental^p1⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: J M Moore| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 120| BF

6/1

Winner over this trip of a Fairyhouse novice hurdle on good ground in February. Beaten since but first-time cheekpieces expected to spark a return to form.

Effernock Fizz¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: A W Short⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss K Brown| OR: 113

7/1

Comes here on a hat-trick of wins following success at Tipperary and Wexford recently over a similar trip. More needed here but can give another good account of herself.

Form: 0558-11

Master Of Spin²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Ricky Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: D H Kelly

66/1

Gelding by Arcadio out of a Darsi mare. Dam placed in a bumper, half-sister to bumper/2m hurdle winner Toberdowney. Finished down the field on debut at Roscommon last month and needs to show significant improvement to play a role here.

Form: 0

Razoul²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Donagh Meyler| T: R P Cody| BF

9/2

Solid efforts to finish runner up on his last couple of starts over hurdles finishing second at Tramore and Roscommon beaten no more than a neck on each occasion. Requires plenty of respect.

Form: 522

Stopthelights²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: P E Corbett| T: D H Kelly

100/1

Gelding by Getaway out of a Medaaly mare. Dam unraced. Needs to step up on his two career starts to date to get involved here.

Form: 80

Cocohulababy^t²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: E Walsh⁽⁷⁾| T: N Meade

50/1

Daughter of Casamento out of a Kalanisi mare. Modest 75-rated handicapper on the Flat and unlikely to be troubling the judge on hurdling debut.

Form:

Stormy Tale¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: D J Mullins| T: M Mulvany| OR: 114

7/1

Five-race maiden over hurdles who has recently been seen running well on the Flat, including a success at Roscommon last month. Market likely to be the best guide.

Form: 57543-

The Perch¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: L P Dempsey| T: P J McKenna

50/1

Basement 47-rated handicapper on the Flat who outran her odds of 66/1 ion hurdling debut finishing second of nine beaten 22L at Down Royal last month. That position may have flattered the Camacho filly.

Form: 2

Forecasts

Act Of God (5/2), Razoul (9/2), Coolongolook (11/2), Quantatmental (6/1), Effernock Fizz (7/1), Stormy Tale (7/1), Feel Des Mottes (9/1), Cocohulababy (50/1), The Perch (50/1), Master Of Spin (66/1), Stopthelights (100/1)

The Edward O'Grady-trained, ACT OF GOD holds a strong chance of making it two from two in this contest. The four-year-old can follow up his win at Tramore in May at the expense of the Gigginstown Stud representative, Coolongolook and Michael Mulvany's, Stormy Tale. Of the others, Quantatmental, in first-time cheekpieces and Feel Des Mottes on second start for Liz Doyle should not be underestimated.
