Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: C A Landers⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs D A Love| OR: 109

11/4

Kilbeggan winner in May and far from disgraced in third back there over slightly shorter trip last month. Should be competitive again in this line-up.

Form: 602-213

Torquay¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: C P McNamara⁽⁷⁾| T: E McNamara| OR: 102| C

10/3

Broke her maiden over hurdles at this track (2m5f) back in April. Has been unable to follow it up since then. Made a promising start to his chase career when second of 10 two starts back at Downpatrick (2m3f). Reverts to hurdling.

Form: 851-727

Ayr Of Elegance¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 98

5/1

Remains a maiden over timber but had shaped better in runs at Clonmel and Downpatrick prior to lesser effort at Bellewstown this month. Drops back from 3m and needs to improve to score.

Form: 78-9339

Do Ya Feel Lucky³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Darragh O'Keeffe⁽⁵⁾| T: D H Kelly| OR: 99

9/2

Tramore scorer in maiden hurdle last month and since run well enough in fourth of 11 in a novice hurdle at Wexford. Goes up in distance for this and entitled to have a say in the finale.

Form: 5-P314

Inishbel^t¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: B J Cooper| T: C Bowe| OR: 100

7/2

Backed to win a Downpatrick novice hurdle 10 days ago and obliged. Up slightly in trip this evening and more on plate but looks capable of a major challenge on that recent run.

Form: F45-441

Fake Media^h¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: K J Brouder⁽⁵⁾| T: D E Fitzgerald| OR: 85

33/1

Sported first-time hood over 2m here recently and improved in that she managed to get around in one piece (fell previous two starts). Headgear retained but improvement is demanded.

Form: 00FF0

Forecasts

Gotthenod (11/4), Torquay (10/3), Inishbel (7/2), Do Ya Feel Lucky (9/2), Ayr Of Elegance (5/1), Fake Media (33/1)

The money was down for Inishbel at Downpatrick 10 days ago and the result was never really in doubt. She should go well once more while Gotthenod is in good heart of late and is also likely to have a say. DO YA FEEL LUCKY ran well enough at Wexford last time in novice company and could have more to offer now upped in distance.
