Ayr Of Elegance²

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

8/1

Off the mark for connections at the 13th attempt over hurdles, rated a modest 103. Yard hitting the bar at this meeting and market likely to reveal expectations on chase introduction.

Form: 933913

Brogine¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Phillip Enright| T: S Braddish

12/1

Solid 110-rated handicap hurdler, winner of two of her last three starts. Small Co Limerick yard don't have a lot of runners so possibly best watched on chasing debut unless market vibes suggest otherwise.

Form: 063-110

Darling Miss^b1¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott

7/2

Useful 125-rated handicap hurdler has finished runner-up on both starts so far over the larger obstacles. Has to be a leading contender in this company.

Form: 111222

Dolly Dancer^h,t¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Brian Hayes| T: E Mullins

5/2

Winner on his third start over hurdles in May, holding form to a certain extent since. Market check on debut over fences for a yard in good nick currently boasting a 46% win and place strike rate in the last 30 days.

Form: 24-1266

Inishbel^h,t²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean Flanagan| T: C Bowe

8/1

Backed to win a Downpatrick novice hurdle last month before finishing ¾L adrift of Ayr Of Elegance on her latest start over hurdles. Makes chasing debut for a stable with a 33% win and place strike rate with their chasers in the last two years.

Form: 45-4412

Madaboy Cross¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: K J Brouder⁽⁵⁾| T: T P O'Connor

33/1

Has generally disappointed since winner over hurdles at the 16th attempt in May, including a below-par chasing debut at Roscommon earlier this month. Others make more appeal.

Form: 6-15607

Tell Me Annie¹³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: Darragh O'Keeffe⁽⁵⁾| T: D Queally| OR: 115

2/1

Two from seven over hurdles, the daughter of Shantou has been set some tough tests over fences of late leaving the mare without success in seven chase starts. Market likely to be the best guide.

Form: 2525-42

Non-Runners

Yeats Mardy²

Weight: 11-7| Age: 6

T: E Doyle J: Donagh Meyler

Forecasts

Tell Me Annie (2/1), Dolly Dancer (5/2), Darling Miss (7/2), Ayr Of Elegance (8/1), Inishbel (8/1), Brogine (12/1), Yeats Mardy (16/1), Madaboy Cross (33/1)

DARLING MISS can continue to progress over the larger obstacles to bag the prize in first-time blinkers. The six-year-old can get off the mark over fences at the third attempt for trainer Gordon Elliott and see off any potential challenge coming in from chasing debutantes' Dolly Dancer and Inishbel. Ayr Of Elegance for the Henry De Bromhead stable is worth a market check as post time approaches.
