Form: F12F-

Flying Crystal¹⁸³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Mr S Perry⁽⁷⁾| T: J P Fahey

66/1

Daughter of Flemensfirth out of a Gone Fishin mare. Best left to her own devices having refused to race at Wexford in May (only just consented on debut previously).

Form: UR

Kalli's Quest²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Phillip Enright| T: T O'Brien

14/1

Point-to-point winner in January, hasn't progressed under rules and well held in a 2m3½f Clonmel maiden recently on first start over timber.

Form: 3153-5

Light Bulb³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: E Walsh⁽⁷⁾| T: J R Finn

50/1

Six-year-old won a point-to-point in the summer but form under rules (hurdles and chasing) isn't up to the standard that should be needed.

Form: 419673

Miss Pernickety²¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: J J Slevin| T: J P O'Brien| BF

8/1

Twice-placed in bumpers in the spring, no surprise should she have a leading say on return to action now meeting hurdles with yard in form.

Form: 323-

Monatierna^h¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: T Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: S Ryan

100/1

Promising bumper debut over 2m4f at Limerick in summer of 2018 hasn't been built on in three starts over timber; was already in trouble when brought down here recently.

Form: 9P-0B

Monty's Mission⁷

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

33/1

Well held at Clonmel in 2m3½f maiden hurdle last week on seasonal bow, booking of Danny Mullins is noted now.

Form: 22118-F

My Midnight^p,t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Sean Flanagan| T: A Slattery| OR: 104

7/2

Placed five times in seven starts in maiden hurdles at up to 2m4f, she sets the standard on paper but has to be ranked as frustrating.

Form: 3B2322

Pellady

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: A McCurtin⁽⁵⁾| T: Ms Debbie Hartnett

50/1

Runner-up in a point-to-point at Dromahane over 3m this month already, worth a market check on rules debut and might have place possibilities.

Form:

Sailingtobyzantium¹⁷²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead

10/1

Went close in Ballingarry point-to-point in June and has since joined the Henry De Bromhead team, notable rules debutante with Rachel Blackmore for company.

Form: P-32

Tribelle⁴⁶⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: D J McInerney| T: J R Finn

100/1

Well-held in 2m maiden hurdle at this track in 2017 and similar story in pair of bumpers last year; back from an absence with plenty to prove.

Form: 87/07-

Yeat's Encore

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: R P Treacy⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs Y Dunleavy

100/1

Daughter of Yeats, trainer 0-12 with runners under rules in previous 12 months and she's likely best watched on debut.

Form:

Annual Flavour¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: M A Enright| T: J W Nicholson

100/1

Has failed to build on a promising bumper effort at Kilbeggan in September, posting three poor efforts since, two of them over hurdles at Tipperary and Cork (both 2m4f). Plenty to work on.

Form: 4076

Stellar Stow¹⁸²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: M P Burke| T: T Doyle| OR: 87

100/1

Not much to shout about in three career starts so far over hurdles running over a variety of trips. Others more appealing on the balance of her runs when last seen in the spring (First Reserve).

Form: 0-06

Forecasts

Uisce Solas (1/1), My Midnight (7/2), Miss Pernickety (8/1), Domitian (10/1), Cool Dove (10/1), Sailingtobyzantium (10/1), Kalli's Quest (14/1), Monty's Mission (33/1), Pellady (50/1), Light Bulb (50/1), Ballyshannon Rose (66/1), Flying Crystal (66/1), Dont Say A Thing (66/1), Sea Reef (66/1), Monatierna (100/1), Annual Flavour (100/1), Yeat's Encore (100/1), Stellar Stow (100/1), Tribelle (100/1)

My Midnight has become a bit frustrating over timber but should be landing one of these before long. UISCE SOLAS made a nice start over timber when runner-up at Wexford last month on testing ground and can get on the board here having found 2m in a Grade 3 at Navan a bit warm since. Hurdles debutantes Miss Pernickety, Cool Dove, Sailingtobyzantium and Pellady each command some scrutiny.
