Off time: 17:16 | Winning time: 5m 5.0s

Gone Galavanting⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Ricky Doyle| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 95

20/1

Seven-race maiden showing little in the way of aptitude on return to action at Tipperary in May. Improvement needed if she is to take a hand in this event.

Form: 00370-0

Pakie's Dream^p,t³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: H Morgan⁽⁴⁾| T: Paul Power| OR: 91

6/1

Posted a career best on his most recent start finishing third of 12 beaten 1¼L in a Tramore handicap hurdle over 2m5f in May. Recent efforts suggest plenty of improvement and is approached with a great deal of respect.

Form: 5098-83

Pretty Little Liar^t²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: J B Kane⁽²⁾| T: D P Dunne| OR: 91

13/2

Off the mark for connections at the 12th time of asking when landing a Stratford handicap hurdle over 2m½f on good to soft last month. Capable of another bold show.

Form: 0/76-4U1

Sizing Malbay³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: R P Treacy| T: S J Mahon| OR: 91

8/1

Outran her odds of 100/1 when running on in the closing styages to finish third of 15 beaten 12½L in a Ballinrobe maiden hurdle over a similar trip when last seen in May. Others look more convincing but not totally ruled out.

Form: 8455P-3

Siempre Amigos²⁶⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: P J McGrath⁽⁴⁾| T: D P Dunne| OR: 90

20/1

Lightly raced six-race maiden well held in a Gowran Park handicap on the Flat in his final start for trainer Gavin Cromwell in October. Looks a tall order coming off a break and on stable debut.

Form: 98067/6-

Under The Clock^t²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: D J McInerney| T: N Madden| OR: 87

11/4

Will have disappointed leading connections, failing to hit the frame in eight dismal hurdling efforts to date. Others more appealing on the balance of recent sorties.

Form: 5/006-70

Cailean's Angel²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Darragh O'Keeffe⁽⁴⁾| T: E F Gallagher| OR: 86| BF

7/2

Without a win in 10 starts over hurdles but produced a career best effort in a Clonmel handicap hurdle over 2m last month finishing 3¼L adrift of the winner, Aunty Audrey. One of the more intriguing contenders.

Form: P405-56

Winsor Vixen⁶²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: A W Short| T: Thomas Coyle| OR: 86

25/1

11-race maiden hurdler more recently seen competing in the point-to-point field. Last start over hurdles ended in defeat at Wexford over 12 months ago when in the care of trainer John Kiely. Others preferred.

Form: 62F14-4

Glamorous Nellie²²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Sean O'Keeffe⁽⁴⁾| T: Miss E Doyle| OR: 84| D

20/1

Sole win over hurdles came in a Clonmel handicap over this trip in September off a similar mark. Well beaten since and difficult to see where the much needed improvement is coming from on first start since November.

Form: 716P07-

Ricky Langford¹⁰⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: J P O'Sullivan⁽⁴⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 84

14/1

Five-race maiden over hurdles, well held when finishing down the field on each occasion. Still looking no nearer to breakthrough success.

Form: 00068-

Josie Wing²⁹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: S J Gray| T: A Slattery| OR: 82

20/1

Lightly raced maiden for Sandra Hughes and Peter Fahey. Pulled up on her most recent start in September and is probably best watched on stable debut unless the market suggests otherwise.

Form: 006/90P-

Bard Of Armagh^b⁶¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: C D Timmons| T: A J Martin| OR: 80

12/1

Switching between hurdles and the larger obstacles has failed to trigger any great enthusiasm from the Tobougg gelding in a number of starts since November. Little signs of any light at the end of the tunnel just yet.

Form: 00P6P-7

Boston Babe^t³⁰¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-11| J: C J Orr⁽²⁾| T: D J Barry| OR: 80

50/1

Eight-race maiden hurdler. Sent off at big prices in a struggling career and is hard to fancy on overall evidence. Off since September and others hold sturdier claims in this event.

Form: 7800P/0-

Doo Wakka Doo^h,t1⁴³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-11| J: A McCurtin| T: Mrs A Mooney| OR: 80

40/1

Has failed to hit the frame in six starts over hurdles including a couple of heavy defeats at Down Royal and Downpatrick when last seen in May. First time tongue tie fitted but needs a vast improvement to be involved at the finish.

Form: 809/0-07

Emilyogue^t²⁰⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: C Brassil⁽²⁾| T: J P Ryan| OR: 80

14/1

12-race maiden who posted a career best on a trip to Hexham in November finishing third of 13 on soft ground over a similar trip. Returns with plenty to prove in this company.

Form: 706737-

Howitsdone¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Katie O'Farrell⁽²⁾| T: S Neville| OR: 80

12/1

Moderate fourth of 15 when falling at the last in a Kilbeggan handicap hurdle last month following a promising run at Tramore in May. Holds place claims in this grade.

Form: P04-74F

Forecasts

Under The Clock (11/4), Cailean's Angel (7/2), Pakie's Dream (6/1), Pretty Little Liar (13/2), Sizing Malbay (8/1), Wolfofallstreets (11/1), Bard Of Armagh (12/1), Howitsdone (12/1), Ricky Langford (14/1), Zagnzig (14/1), Emilyogue (14/1), Gone Galavanting (20/1), Siempre Amigos (20/1), Josie Wing (20/1), Glamorous Nellie (20/1), Winsor Vixen (25/1), Feisty Madam (33/1), Doo Wakka Doo (40/1), Boston Babe (50/1)

CAILEAN'S ANGEL can get off the mark for connections at the 11th attempt building on a couple of solid starts at Clonmel recently. The daughter of Getaway can land the spoils at the expense of Stratford winner, Pretty Little Liar and Howitsdone who appeared not to appreciate the step up in trip on his latest start at Kilbeggan last month. Pakie's Dream and Sizing Malbay would not be out of contention while the reserve, Zagnzig requires further consideration if making the line up.
