Bridge Native^t⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: C J Orr⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs D A Love| OR: 108

11/1

Fancied to go well on return to action at Kilbeggan last month only to be brought down at the third in a 2m4f handicap chase. Could be a confident booster on return over hurdles.

Form: 12424-U

Sang Tiger^p¹⁴

Age: 12| Weight: 11-11| J: Liam McKenna⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Lambe| OR: 105

100/1

Winner of two of his 11 starts over hurdle. Last of 12 on comeback run at Roscommon last month. Plenty to find on overall evidence.

Form: 62P/2P-0

Tiger Twenty Two^t¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott| OR: 104

3/1

Finally off the mark over hurdles when bolting up by 9L at Gowran on second start for this yard but found out by the 16lb rise when only third at Downpatrick in October. Gallant effort at Limerick last month and likely to improve here.

Form: 24130-3

Demophon¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Sarah Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 102

9/1

Winner of a 2m3f maiden hurdle at Down Royal in March before spin on the Flat at Fairyhouse last month. Looks an interesting prospect on handicap debut.

Form: P/0001-

Sizing Malbay¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Sean Flanagan| T: S J Mahon| OR: 102| C

10/1

Two from 18 over hurdle currently races 7lb higher than last winning mark. Fifth of 12 beaten 10L on return to action at Roscommon last month and may need a few to falter in this contest.

Form: 12737-5

Allduckornodinner²³⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: Miss E J Sweeney⁽⁷⁾| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 100

16/1

In fine form towards the end of the year winning over hurdles and over the larger obstacles at Sligo and Punchestown landing a second chase win in October. Leading player on timber return.

Form: 401215-

Father Jed^b,t¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: T N Brett⁽⁷⁾| T: J P Ryan| OR: 100

12/1

Winner of four hurdle starts. Never on terms despite making late headway on first start since October at Roscommon last month. Capable of improving on that effort.

Form: 3336U-7

First Class Return^p¹¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Donagh Meyler| T: E Doyle| OR: 99

12/1

Better over the larger obstacles that the gelding is over hurdles. Last seen finishing fourth of 13 beaten 9½L in Limerick handicap in March over 2m6f. Place claims.

Form: 564344-

Bye Bye O Bye⁹

Age: 13| Weight: 11-4| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: Michael C Griffin| OR: 98| D

33/1

Won back-to-back handicap hurdles 12 months ago but a run of defeat has seen his mark slip back below last winning mark. Veteran of 62 races under rules may find life difficult.

Form: 15690-8

Twilight Girl¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: K C Sexton| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 96| D

9/1

Nothing to set the pulse racing in three starts in maiden company since her debut in December but showed a good attitude on handicap debut at Limerick on return to action last month. Could go well off a similar mark.

Form: 18040-5

Gone Galavanting^t1¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Aidan Kelly⁽⁷⁾| T: P Roche| OR: 95

28/1

Slightly better hurdler than she is over the larger obstacles but is still without a win in 11 starts over timber following a poor effort on return at Limerick last month. Looks up against it here.

Form: 94F0P-P

So Enjoy^p¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: C P McNamara⁽⁵⁾| T: J Nash| OR: 95

25/1

Long-standing maiden who was running with great credit in a number of starts last summer, mainly at Downpatrick. Beaten 22L on return to action at Roscommon last month.

Form: 82330-8

Yeats Mardy^t¹⁰⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: J M Moore| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 92

7/1

Has hit the frame in three of her 14 starts over hurdles but is still looking for a first breakthrough success. Plenty to prove in this contest on first start since March.

Form: 765P00-

Robin Deuz Pois^t¹⁰⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: L P Dempsey| T: G Elliott| OR: 90| BF

13/2

First Reserve: 16-race maiden without a success in 10 starts over hurdles. Posted a win and a second position in a couple of starts over the larger obstacles when last seen in March. Remains to be seen if the mare can transfer that form over hurdles

The Gordon Elliott-trained TIGER TWENTY TWO can improve on his comeback run at Limerick last month finishing third of the 16 runners over 2m6f. The step up in trip is sure to suit as the nine-year-old bids to add to his previous win over hurdles at Gowran Park in October. Winner of his last start over hurdles at Wexford in September, Allduckornodinner can be in the mix at the business end of proceedings while Demophon on handicap debut, Father Jed for trainer John Ryan and the Peter Fahey-trained Twilight Girl are worthy of further consideration.
