Fit To Be Tied²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: N P Madden| T: N Madden| OR: 113

7/2

Lightly raced son of Oscar in the last 18 months. Hinted at a return to form at Limerick earlier this month but may find a couple of better handicapped sorts lurking on the card.

Form: 03/778-3

Happy Jacky²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: D J McInerney| T: R Hackett| OR: 111

5/2

Off the mark over hurdles at the sixth attempt at Ballinrobe in August before winning again at Clonmel early in September off a 10lb lower mark. Ran well in defeat at Thurles last month on the Flat but capable of big run back over hurdles.

Form: 007311

Wait Here^t²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Simon Torrens⁽⁷⁾| T: A Leahy| OR: 111

8/1

Winner of two of his 19 starts over hurdles the Presenting gelding has been running well in defeat since August and rates a leading contender here.

Form: 5-33324

13/2

Rewarded for some consistent efforts over hurdles when winning at Killarney in September in a maiden contest in September. Well held on a couple of occasions since and needs to show more sparkle before any faith is placed in him.

Global Fert^t¹⁶⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: A W Short⁽³⁾| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 104

20/1

Lightly-raced Flemensfirth gelding turning out on only five occasions since April 2018. Last seen in May and remains easy to oppose.

Form: 02/FF3-9

Riverdene^p²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Ricky Doyle⁽³⁾| T: E Griffin| OR: 104

9/1

Ran as well as could be expected when finishing fifth of 16 beaten over 9L on return to action last month in a Fairyhouse handicap hurdle over 2m on yielding to soft ground. Looks a tall order on form shown.

Form: 5P895-5

Spare Brakes^t²⁸³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr J C Canavan⁽⁷⁾| T: R Tyner| OR: 102

20/1

Won for the second time over hurdles when landing a 2m Gowran Park handicap over 2m on his last start in January off a 7lb lower mark. Could be of interest if the subject of market support.

Form: 1233/01-

Cash Me Outside²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Sean O'Keeffe⁽⁷⁾| T: P Nolan| OR: 101| D

12/1

Off the mark over hurdles at the fourth time of asking when winning a Wexford 2m4f maiden in June. Moderate effort on return to action at Galway in October and profile suggests that she is worth taking on again.

Form: 4/92-215

Colour Me In¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Phillip Enright| T: T Mullins| OR: 102

40/1

20-race maiden and needs to improve on a number of dismal efforts on both the Flat and over hurdles in the last couple of months. Needs others to run below par to have a chance in this.

Form: 6-4P06U

Cailean's Angel¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Darragh O'Keeffe⁽³⁾| T: E F Gallagher| OR: 97| D

9/1

Off the mark over hurdles at the 11th time of asking when landing a Bellewstown handicap in July. Earlier progression appears to have leveled out in a number of starts since and others look to have stronger claims.

Form: 122205

Molly Wedger^p1¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: M Hamill⁽³⁾| T: Dermot P O'Brien| OR: 96

16/1

Eight-race maiden. Improving over hurdles in four starts since August. Not a forlorn hope in first-time cheekpieces but others still more convincing.

Form: 4505P2

Rightback Atya¹⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 10-7| J: Sean Flanagan| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 95| D

66/1

Lightly raced over hurdles. Sole win over hurdles was back in 2015. Pulled up when well in rear before two out at this venue over 3m last month on yielding ground. Needs a sizable improvement to mix it here.

Form: 1F4/92-P

Shedding^p¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: L P Dempsey| T: W J Burke| OR: 89| D

20/1

Best effort since winning his maiden at Limerick in July came on his most recent start in a Thurles 2m handicap hurdle on good to yielding ground last month. Will need to improve to figure.

Form: 17U034

Shantelle⁶⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Danny Mullins| T: R Donohoe| OR: 88| D

33/1

Landed the second hurdle win of her career when landing a Killarney 2m4f contest in August before a heavy defeat of his revised mark at Ballinrobe later in the same month. Appears to have a bit to prove in a race of this nature.

Form: 965310

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: C D Maxwell| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 84

14/1

12-race maiden has only managed to hit the frame in one of his 11 starts over hurdles. Needs to step up on recent form to play a role in this contest.

The Milan gelding HAPPY JACKY can land a hat-trick of wins here following a couple of impressive victories when getting off the mark over hurdles in August and September. The five-year-old looks to have conditions to suit despite a 22lb rise since his first win. The J P McManus pair Wait Here and Fit To Be Tied can emerge as the biggest dangers. Daughter of Shantou, Shantelle is clearly better than her last run at Ballinrobe in August suggests and could be a lively outsider in the contest.
