Shavalack²³³

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr J C Barry⁽⁵⁾| T: J G Sheehan

20/1

Mahler gelding out of a Presenting mare related to top chasing types. Well down the field on bumper debut in April 2018 before a similar effort when last seen in January on final start for Shane Ryder.

Form: 0/9-

Carnet De Stage¹⁰²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Miss M O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: E M O'Sullivan

8/1

Scorpion gelding out of an unraced down who is related to a few jumps winners. Beaten over hurdles before finishing fourth of 14 beaten 9L in a Killarney bumper when last seen in May. Hard to fancy.

Form: 2F-4

Double Talkin Jive

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr D G Lavery⁽³⁾| T: P Martin

12/1

Gelding by Intikhab out of a Fruits Of Love mare. Closely related to multiple winner, Duca Valentinois between 7f and 1m2f. Best watched on rules debut.

Form:

Hollow Sound²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr J J Codd| T: L Comer

4/1

Beat Hollow gelding out of a Haafhd mare who won over 1m4f but eventually got 2m well enough. Running well in defeat in a couple of starts since June but more needed here.

Form: 44

Imperial Flash^t⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Gary Noonan⁽⁷⁾| T: E McNamara

20/1

Gelding by Imperial Monarch out of a Good Thyne mare. Half-brother to hurdler/chaser, Macs Flamingo and decent hurdler, Parish Business. Improvement needed based on his first couple of starts and liable to find a couple stronger.

Form: 60

Scalor^t1¹¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr F Maguire⁽³⁾| T: Miss E Doyle

10/1

€15,000 3-y-o out of a French 1¾m winner from a good family. Showed some promise on his debut at Punchestown when second of seven in February but has failed to build on that effort in a couple of starts since.

Form: 28-9

Slige Dala^t1

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr T Hamilton⁽³⁾| T: J P O'Brien

7/4

Gelding by Sholokhov out of a Anshan mare. Closely related to useful hurdler/chaser Knock House. Dam won over hurdles. Wears a tongue-tie on debut and merits plenty of respect from leading yard.

Form:

Generation Doll

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr D O'Connor| T: E F Gallagher

20/1

Daughter of Arcadio out of a Exit To Nowhere mare. Dam, point-to-point winner, half-sister to bumper/hurdle winner over 2m Miss Nomer. Notable jockey booking.

Form:

Getaway Katie⁶⁶²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins

11/4

Not seen since finishing well beaten in a 2m maiden hurdle at Galway in October 2017, her last start for trainer, Paul Nolan. Likely to be popular in the market for leading bumper trainer/jockey combination.

Last Return³²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Miss A Fahey⁽⁷⁾| T: J P Fahey

66/1

Filly by Thousand Words out of a Norwich mare. Well held on a couple of career starts so far and remains easy to oppose in this company.

Form: 00-

Forecasts

Slige Dala (7/4), Getaway Katie (11/4), Hollow Sound (4/1), Carnet De Stage (8/1), Scalor (10/1), Double Talkin Jive (12/1), Imperial Flash (20/1), Generation Doll (20/1), Shavalack (20/1), Last Return (66/1)

Despite a total of 662 days away from the track, the shortcomings of her rivals make it hard to dismiss the chances of GETAWAY KATIE on her return to action. The mare can land this contest for trainer/jockey combination of Willie and Patrick Mullins while notable pilot bookings are made for Hollow Sound who has Jamie Codd up, with Derek O'Connor taking the ride on the newcomer Generation Doll. Another debutante', the Joseph O'Brien-trained Slige Dala looks a bright prospect.
