Famous Day^p²³²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: D J McInerney⁽³⁾| T: O McKiernan| OR: 107

20/1

Broke her maiden in a big field at Navan (2m6f) last September and she almost followed that up with success here over 3m on her next start where she was denied by a nose. Has been disappointing on her last two starts. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 24125F-

Aunty Audrey^h³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr D Kiely⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Flynn| OR: 102| C

9/1

Was a narrow winner at Clonmel (2m) on her last outing where she got up by a head to record her first win over hurdles. Has gone up 5lb for that success so she may need to find a little more. Each-way chance.

Form: 907-351

Citizen Al¹³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: M J M O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: E M O'Sullivan| OR: 102

10/1

Was successful in a maiden hurdle at Killarney (2m6f) back in May. Her form dipped following that victory but she did improve recently at Thurles to finish second of 13. Has to bounce back from latest at Leopardstown.

Form: 80632U-

All The Way West⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Phillip Enright| T: L J Archdeacon| OR: 99| C

13/2

Scored for the first time over hurdles here over 3m two starts back in a 17 runner field. Could only finish sixth of nine last time at Tramore (2m5f). Remains off the same mark as latest run so needs to bounce back.

Form: 2476-16

Minx Tiara³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Sean Flanagan| T: D M O'Brien| OR: 104| D

8/1

Lightly-raced filly who won for the first time on her previous start at Wexford (2m4½f) in a maiden contest. Is having her first shot in handicap company today and she looks to be a off a mark where she can be competitive.

Form: 359-51

My Peggy^p³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Danny Mullins| T: N G Hynds| OR: 97| D

8/1

Broke her maiden over hurdles at the sixth attempt last time at Wexford over the extended 2m4f trip where she was staying on strongly. Up 7lb for that success. Major player to follow up here.

Form: 50050-1

Something Sweet³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean O'Keeffe⁽⁷⁾| T: R J McGrath| OR: 93

5/1

Justified favouritsm last time at Clonmel over 2m2½f to land her first success over hurdles in 16. She has gone up 7lb for that victory last time, however, she looks open to improvement at this trip. Leading player.

Form: 422-3F1

Glebe Girl⁴¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: P E Corbett| T: J J Walsh| OR: 90

25/1

Remains a maiden after 20 races and her recent form does not indicate that will come any time soon. Returned to action at Tramore (2m5f) last month where she was eighth of nine. Others preferred.

Form: 6/0538-8

Dunloe Lady²⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: K C Sexton| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 89

10/1

Has been beaten a long way in all four of her handicap attempts so far, including latest when 12th of 14 at Fairyhouse (2m4f). Handicapper has dropped her 4lb but she may need more help before opening success arrives.

Form: 930090-

That's My Dubai²³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: M Hamill⁽³⁾| T: J R Barry| OR: 89

33/1

Still a maiden after 11 races but she has hit the frame a couple of times to suggest she is capable of being competitive. Returned to action last month to finish ninth of 20 at Down Royal (2m4f) in first run for new yard. Others preferred.

Form: 420-006

Our Roxane^p²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: J J Slevin| T: T O'Brien| OR: 88

6/1

Was only beaten by 1½l at Clonmel (2m3½f) when third of 18 last September in what has been her best attempt so far. Appeared for the first time since switching yards at Down Royal (2m4f) last month when ninth of 20. Others preferred.

Form: 73570-9

Dicey^t⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: Miss D O'Shea| OR: 87

33/1

Lightly-raced mare who has been well beaten on all four starts so far. Made her handicap debut last time at Limerick (2m3f) but it did not help her as she was last of 12. Difficult to make a case for.

Form: 000-0

Rock On Bennie^h⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: C J Orr⁽⁵⁾| T: R Hackett| OR: 87

50/1

Been a long way down the field on her three hurdles starts so far. She was 12th of 18 on her previous outing at Tipperary (2m4f) when going off at 66/1. Major improvement needed to have a chance.

Form: 5600-0

Quarry Lil^t1⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: R P Treacy⁽⁵⁾| T: P O'Flynn| OR: 86

20/1

Won on her debut in a point-to-point back in February at Ballyvodock over 3m. Has struggled under Rules since then but her latest attempt was a little better when fifth of 10 at Tramore (2m5f). More improvement needed.

Form: 136-805

Blondes No More^t²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: C P McNamara⁽⁷⁾| T: E Griffin| OR: 84

10/1

Was successful over hurdles at Clonmel (2m½f) back in May. Struggled to follow that up but she did finish third behind Mr Peggy two starts back at Wexford (2m4½f). Can be competitive off this mark.

Form: F-70935

Lucia's Bob³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Darragh O'Keeffe⁽⁵⁾| T: J J Walsh| OR: 89

16/1

Remains a maiden after 12 starts but has improved slightly since going handicapping. She was third of 15 at Roscommon (2m) two starts back but then went backwards on latest at Roscommon (2m) when seventh of 18. Others preferred.

Form: 0090-37

Daisy Chicks⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: L P Dempsey| T: E O'Grady| OR: 81

33/1

Has been successful in a point-to-point at Rathcannon (3m) but hasn't come close to scoring under Rules, including latest at Tramore (2m5½f) when ninth of 13 over fences. Back to hurdles today. Difficult to fancy.

Form: 5968P/9

Miss Mcilroy^t⁵⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: K J Brouder⁽⁵⁾| T: G T Lynch| OR: 80

20/1

Still looking for her opening success following 31 races. Remains off the same mark which she has struggled at over the last four races so unless there is a major improvement, her wait for her maiden success will go on.

Form: 53B0-P9

Hunter³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: A W Short⁽⁵⁾| T: G J Power| OR: 85

33/1

Lightly-raced filly who has struggled in all four of her appearances so far. Was 10th of 20 last time at Punchestown over the extended 2m trip when going off at 100/1. One to avoid.

Form: P-090

Forecasts

Something Sweet (5/1), Our Roxane (6/1), All The Way West (13/2), My Peggy (8/1), Minx Tiara (8/1), Aunty Audrey (9/1), Dunloe Lady (10/1), Citizen Al (10/1), Blondes No More (10/1), Lucia's Bob (16/1), She'stherightone (16/1), Miss Mcilroy (20/1), Quarry Lil (20/1), Famous Day (20/1), Glebe Girl (25/1), Dicey (33/1), That's My Dubai (33/1), Daisy Chicks (33/1), Hunter (33/1), Rock On Bennie (50/1)

SOMETHING SWEET and Mr Peggy both broke their maiden over hurdles in impressive fashion last time and have a great chance to record another success here but the preference is given to the former who looks more open to improvement, especially over this slightly longer trip which will suit her. Minx Tiara is having her first taste of handicap company today and is off a mark where she can get into the frame.
