Mind's Eye¹⁶⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 139| D

13/8

Lost his way somewhat on his final three starts of last season; had previously been showing some very smart form notably at Wexford and Leopardstown; certainly one to consider if back to his best form.

Form: 655PR-7

Dinons³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott| OR: 137| D

5/4

Talented staying novice hurdler who has taken well to fences; needs to show more improvement to have a serious chance but is consistent and game and has chances if others fail to run their race.

Form: 7P-1143

Kildorrery^h⁹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: R M Power| T: T M Walsh| OR: 133| BF| D

6/1

Was a very consistent chaser last season with best effort coming at Punchestown around this time of the year; leading chance if reproducing that effort but might not want the ground getting too soft.

Form: 643-U49

Supreme Vinnie^b,t⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-2| J: B Hayes| T: Miss D O'Shea| OR: 127| C| D

22/1

Has been busy throughout the summer chasing and hurdling but to little effect; plenty to find with some on official ratings and unlikely to be good enough here.

Form: 2898UP

Westland Row^t³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR: 126| D

7/1

Had been in fine form over the summer notching up a hat-trick but has been below par on his latest two starts; still open to some improvement but looks slightly out of his depth.

Form: 311134

Forecasts

Dinons (5/4), Mind's Eye (13/8), Kildorrery (6/1), Westland Row (7/1), Supreme Vinnie (22/1)

KILDORRERY has been kept fit with a couple of runs over hurdles but it is over fences where he excels and is is taken narrowly to land this for trainer Ted Walsh. If reproducing the form of his Punchestown win last October he should have the beating of all his rivals with any softening of the ground being his biggest danger. Mind's Eye did not have the best end to the season but if able to repeat for form he showed last autumn he could give the selection most to do. Dinons is worthy of consideration and is certainly a horse on the up. He needs to find a bit more against some more experienced rivals.
