Chazelles^h¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr D O'Connor| T: A Murray

12/1

Showed ability but looked a real stayer when fifth of 13 at Down Royal on debut over hurdles last month. Jumped well enough so no guarantee he's as effective here although more likely than most.

Form: 5

Fair Ella^p1⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr T Joseph Kelly⁽⁷⁾| T: T P O'Connor

66/1

Poor point-to-point form and tailed off in two bumpers including one here last Sunday. Easily opposed again.

Form: U6P06

Infinite Glory¹⁹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr E P O'Brien⁽⁷⁾| T: P Fenton

14/1

Fame And Glory looked beaten when slipping up on debut at Clonmel last February. Hopefully have a better experience here but best watched.

Form: S-

Porterhorse

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: R Deegan⁽⁵⁾| T: E McCarthy

25/1

Vinnie Roe newcomer the first racing progeny out of a 3m hurdle winning dam. Market can guide as to expectations here.

Form:

Well Polly²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr W T Cronin⁽⁷⁾| T: A J McNamara

4/1

Showed a modicum of ability although always quite comfortably held in three prior bumpers. In a race lacking strength in depth however she could very easily make the frame for the first time.

Form: 984

Belle Etoile

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Sean O'Keeffe⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss E Doyle

16/1

Jeremy newcomer is a sister to point winner Paxman. Yard have occasional bumper winners but 0-15 in them in 2019 so probably best course of action is a watching brief.

Form:

Bold Pearl¹¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr M J O'Hare⁽³⁾| T: G P Cromwell

8/1

Fifth and sixth in maiden point-to-points earlier this year but joined a top yard for rules bow so must be taken seriously and market support would bolster confidence.

Form: 56

Eternal Gale

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Cian Quirke⁽⁷⁾| T: A Slattery

25/1

Rule Of Law newcomer is a half-sister to 2m1f hurdle winner Sean Ban but looks best watched for a yard with a 1-28 record in bumpers over the last five years.

Form:

Gimligonnabelucky

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr G Collier⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Rothwell

33/1

Homebred newcomer out of little used sire out of a modest dam who won on Fibresand and over hurdles. Market may reveal expectations.

Form:

Janet's Charm⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: Ms M Mullins| BF

5/4

Half-sister to Bellshill, amongst multiple winners in the family and she looked a sure-fire future winner herself when beaten just 6L into third of eight on debut at Limerick as favourite. In a weak looking contest she has a great chance.

Form: 3

Silk Worm

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr F Maguire⁽³⁾| T: Miss E Doyle

9/2

Bought for €6,000 last year and she is the seventh foal out of a French hurdle winner and by sire Fame And Glory, Yard not prolific in such contests but she is preferred to stablemate Belle Etoile on pedigree alone.

Form:

Non-Runners

Lightning Skye

Weight: 11-9| Age: 5

T: Jonathan Sweeney J: Mr J J Codd

Forecasts

Janet's Charm (5/4), Well Polly (4/1), Silk Worm (9/2), Lightning Skye (13/2), Bold Pearl (8/1), Chazelles (12/1), Infinite Glory (14/1), Belle Etoile (16/1), Eternal Gale (25/1), Porterhorse (25/1), Gimligonnabelucky (33/1), Fair Ella (66/1)

Although ultimately finding a couple too strong in the finish JANET'S CHARM showed more than enough on debut to suggest she can win a contest of this nature and she is a strong fancy in a race which on paper appears substandard. Jamie Codd is often the man to follow in such contests so the fact that he is aboard newcomer Lightning Skye makes her an interesting rival. Well Polly was fourth latest and really should make the frame for the first time now.
