Dawson's Cottage²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: N P Madden| T: N Madden| OR: 94

10/11

Progressive effort when second of 11 beaten ¾L in a Punchestown 2m contest on handicap debut last month. More to come.

Form: 080-2

I'm Not Alone^t1¹⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Ricky Doyle⁽³⁾| T: C O'Dwyer| OR: 92

33/1

Without a win now in seven starts over hurdles including a couple of heavy defeat in handicap company. Hard to construct much of a case for the daughter of Yeats.

Form: 56030-0

Solar Heat¹⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-10| J: M A Enright| T: D Hogan| OR: 92

12/1

Miserly return of just the one success in 31 starts over hurdles and now races 9lb lower than last winning mark. Plenty to find on recent offerings.

Form: 580443

Universal Focus²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: L P Dempsey| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 92

10/1

Running well in a number of starts over the summer on the Flat. Yet to hit the frame in three career starts over hurdles and plenty to prove in this contest looking at exposed form.

Form: 3/8-6

Lady Of The Sea¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: J B Kane⁽⁵⁾| T: S Millar| OR: 91

33/1

Stingy return of one win from 25 starts over hurdles. The daughter of Milan has failed to complete in two of her last three starts over hurdles, all with give in the ground. Looks up against it here.

Form: 062P8P

Kristian Goingwel²⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: B Browne⁽⁵⁾| T: O McKiernan| OR: 89

16/1

Poor form in a number of starts including on handicap debut in a Fairyhouse contest in April 2017. Pulled up when losing his action on return to action in a Wexford novice handicap hurdle last month. Form doesn't warrant support.

Form: 8900/P-

Johnny Sue³²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr P A King⁽⁷⁾| T: William P Murphy| OR: 87| BF

11/2

Nothing of note in six career starts over hurdles. Last seen on track finishing third of 15 in a Limerick hunter chase in December. Has work to do on return to action.

Form: 58/6123-

Lovely Carrig^t1³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Phillip Enright| T: E O'Grady| OR: 87

9/1

Seven-race maiden yet to hit the frame in five starts over hurdles. Likely to find it tough going in this contest.

Form: 5900-04

Caerleon Kate^p¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Sean Flanagan| T: C A McBratney| OR: 86

14/1

Meagre return of just the one win from 34 starts over hurdles. Hints of a return to form at Ayr over 3m½f on soft ground last month and could be a leading contender now 6lb lower than last winning mark.

Form: P45004

Mighty Jeremy³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Brian Hayes| T: P Meany| OR: 86

14/1

Five-race maiden over hurdles and a well beaten 32L on handicap debut in a Gowran Park contest over 2m on good to yielding ground early last month. Best watched.

Form: 0000-0

Elegant Lass^t³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: T Gibney| OR: 86

33/1

Has failed to hit the frame in five starts over hurdles including when pulling up on her latest start early last month in a Gowran Park 2m handicap. Found to have broken blood vessels.

Form: 98-67P

Myladyrose¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: M F Mooney| T: Mrs A Mooney| OR: 83

14/1

Mixed messages in a number of starts over hurdles in maiden and handicap company since the spring. Needs to improve significantly if playing a role in the finish here.

Form: 642098

The Mcgregornator^t¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Liam Quinlan⁽⁷⁾| T: A Keatley| OR: 83

25/1

Eight-race maiden over hurdles with the Bushranger gelding yet to hit the frame on any occasion. Others look to be progressing at a quicker rate.

Form: U0000-9

I Will Walk⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Sean O'Keeffe⁽⁵⁾| T: W Ross| OR: 81

20/1

Has shown nothing to suggest she is capable of winning a race of this nature on five rules starts to date. Hard to make a case for after being comprehensively beaten on all occasions.

Form: 4-07980

Bad Cigar^t1⁷⁴⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 10-12| J: J J Slevin| T: F Costello| OR: 80

33/1

Without a win in 17 starts over hurdles. Not seen for over two years and difficult to see where improvement is coming from as the Big Bad Bob gelding approaches the twilight of his career.

Form: 807260/

Ricky Langford³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: J P O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 80

20/1

Seven-race maiden over hurdles and well beaten when never nearer fifth of eight beaten 31L on return to action over 2m last month. Hard to fancy against some of these rivals.

Forecasts

Dawson's Cottage (10/11), Johnny Sue (11/2), Lovely Carrig (9/1), Universal Focus (10/1), Solar Heat (12/1), Mighty Jeremy (14/1), Caerleon Kate (14/1), Myladyrose (14/1), Toms Courage (14/1), Kristian Goingwel (16/1), Ricky Langford (20/1), I Will Walk (20/1), The Mcgregornator (25/1), An Marcach (25/1), Cedar Hill (25/1), Elegant Lass (33/1), I'm Not Alone (33/1), Lady Of The Sea (33/1), Bad Cigar (33/1)

CAERLEON KATE hinted at a return to form at Ayr over 3m½f on soft ground last month and can land the spoils in this contest now 6lb lower than last winning mark. The seven-year-old won on soft ground this time last year and can see off the attentions of the J P McManus-owned Dawson's Cottage, an eye-catching runner-up at Punchestown over 2m last month. Distance winner, Solar Heat for trainer Denis Hogan is not easily dismissed. The Ross Sullivan-trained Universal Focus has form with plenty of give in the ground and can go well at a price.
