Dime A Dozen²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr T Hamilton⁽³⁾| T: J J Hanlon

7/2

Deservedly of the mark at the fourth time of asking in a Tramore bumper on good ground in August. Fair effort on hurdles debut at Listowel last month when finishing third; can improve and one to note.

Form: 13-2213

Flicker Flame²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: J J Slevin| T: J P O'Brien

13/2

Hurdles debut; reasonably consistent mare on the Flat who has raced well in soft ground; very much one to consider especially if market support.

Form:

Rebel Og^h²⁶

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

5/2

Sent off the 8/13f on hurdling debut at Downpatrick in August before finishing third of nine beaten 1L. Failed to follow up at Listowel when 4th of 12. Maybe worth another chance but becoming expensive to follow.

Form: 137-34

Anjilina¹⁹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Danny Mullins| T: Caroline Mccaldin

50/1

Best performance came in a Sedgfield novice hurdle in March but disappointed at Hexham in similar event two weeks later; first run for new connections; maybe best watched after such a long absence unless market vibes are good.

Form: 5426-

Askmenow¹²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: S A Shortall| T: L P Cusack

50/1

Niclely bred for hurdling; given gentle introduction at Listowel in June but has been off the track since then; likely to improve in time but may not be up winning just yet.

Form: 6

Direct Image¹²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Phillip Enright| T: R Tyner

25/1

Had some useful soft ground point-to-point form early in the year winning her last two starts over 3m; interesting candidate and certainly worth a look in the market.

Form: 2B7-11

Elizabeth J

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: D J Mullins| T: J E Kiely

20/1

National Hunt-bred newcomer related to plenty of winners; difficult to assess chance on debut and market might provide the only clues.

Form:

Le River Noir^h²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: K J Brouder⁽⁵⁾| T: Eamon Courtney

66/1

Improved on debut effort at Tramore when showing up for a long way on her latest start at Galway in September; looks to be going in the right direction and has solid place claims if progressing again.

Form: P/57

Lill Smith⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Sean Flanagan| T: N Meade| OR: 109

3/1

Had been running well at the turn of the year then given a break until September where she led for a long way before having to settle for minor honours at Roscommon; should be fitter here and certainly one to consider.

Form: 42644-2

Our Majella³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: J S McGarvey| T: G Ahern

100/1

Better effort at Wexford in September after tame debut at Cork in August; Still needs to show plenty more improvement to play a leading role here.

Form: 52U-707

The Girl That Sang^t⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: S J Gray⁽³⁾| T: E J O'Grady

40/1

Well held on her first three career starts but looked like she was starting to get the hang of things last time out at Tramore; doing her best work in the closing stages that day, this step up in trip could help and one to note.

Form: 90-63

Traidisiun¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: P E Corbett| T: T Cleary| OR: 84

100/1

Seven-year-old mare has failed to make progress in five runs over hurdles since mid-July including a 62L reversal on handicap debut in September. Has a bit to prove at present.

Form: 44500

Annual Flavour⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Darragh O'Keeffe⁽³⁾| T: J W Nicholson

66/1

Showed she had some ability on bumper debut when 4/10 at Kilbeggan but regressed last time out at Navan; hard to totally write off on hurdles debut but other make more appeal.

Form: 40

Global Equity

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Oakley Brown⁽⁷⁾| T: J P O'Brien

33/1

Stoutly-bred filly who should make a fair hurdler/chaser in time but unlikely to be good enough here though worth a look in the market at the very least.

Form:

Imperial View²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead

7/1

Imperial Monarch filly out of a Good Thyne mare; looked in the need of the run when well beaten at Listowel in September; certainly capable of improving and looks one to note.

Form: 2-6

Ronnoco Katie

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: D J McInerney| T: R A Cotter

66/1

Unraced Shirocco filly related to a number of hurdles winners; stable has had a few winners of late and a market look is recommended.

Form:

She Might⁵⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: J P O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Rothwell

100/1

Completely tailed off on only run over hurdles in August and easily passed over.

Form: 038

Rebel Og (5/2), Lill Smith (3/1), Dime A Dozen (7/2), Flicker Flame (13/2), Imperial View (7/1), Elizabeth J (20/1), Direct Image (25/1), Global Equity (33/1), Queen Of Fame (33/1), High Viz (33/1), The Girl That Sang (40/1), Anjilina (50/1), Askmenow (50/1), Annual Flavour (66/1), Le River Noir (66/1), Ronnoco Katie (66/1), Our Majella (100/1), She Might (100/1), Traidisiun (100/1)

DIME A DOZEN has plenty of good bumper form and showed she was no slouch over hurdles when finishing a promising third at Listowel last month. If she can show a little more improvement she may be hard to beat. The penny finally dropped with The Girl That Sang last time out at Tramore following three previously tame efforts; she looks very interesting stepping up in trip here. Best of the newcomers could be Flicker Flame who boasts some fair Flat form on an easy surface while Lill Smith should be fitter and have come on from her recent run at Roscommon.
