17/2

Off the mark at the 13th time of asking for connections over C&D in October off a 5lb lower mark. Beaten since when last seen in November. May need a few to falter on seasonal debut.

Pegase Amour¹⁷⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-13| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: L Lennon| OR: 89

11/1

Rated 102 over the larger obstacles, the Winged Love gelding is still without a win on the board in five starts over hurdles. Needs to step up on all form to play a part in this contest.

Give Him Time^p¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott| OR: 88

12/1

Three-race maiden over fences who failed to make a mark for trainer Nick Gifford. Well down the field on stable debut in a Tipperary handicap chase earlier this month but worth a check in the market returning over hurdles.

Form: 32368/0

Galaxy Girl^t¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: C P McNamara⁽⁵⁾| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 87

4/1

Posted a career best effort over hurdles last month on seasonal debut finishing 5L adrift of Slainte And Thanks at Tipperary over 2m4f. Could well still have more to give.

Form: 00009-4

Miraculum¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: J M Moore| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 86| BF

3/1

Hinted at a big run at Navan last month before finishing second of 14 runners beaten 8½L behind cozy winner Important Message at Bellewstown earlier this month. More likely than some to run her race.

Form: 05550-2

Whitango¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Sean O'Keeffe⁽⁵⁾| T: P Nolan| OR: 86

4/1

Bounced back in a big way to run Slainte And Thanks to 3¼L in a Tipperary 2m4f handicap hurdle last month, the geldings first start for three years. Needs to back that run up here.

Form: 0096F/2

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr S Fenelon⁽⁷⁾| T: E Sheehy| OR: 85

80/1

Five-race maiden yet to hit the frame on any occasion. First time cheekpieces unlikely to bring about the required amount of progression needed to land a blow here.

Form: 00PU-7

Lisavalley Lass^t1¹³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: L P Dempsey| T: J P Dempsey| OR: 85

11/1

Produced three dour efforts over hurdles before a 40L reversal on handicap debut in a Thurles 2m contest when last seen in March. May find this tough.

Form: 8900-

18/1

Form: 7/P0-73P

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: B J Cooper| T: A McNamara| OR: 80

8/1

Showing signs of promise in a couple of starts including in a Thurles 2m6½f contest in March before a 56L reversal at Tipperary on seasonal debut earlier this month. Needs to improve significantly.

Well backed on return to action at Bellewstown earlier this month before going down to a rejuvented Important Message, the Gavin Cromwell-trained MIRACULUM can get improve enough to land the spoils here. The five-year-old can hold off the attentions of stablemate Galaxy Girl who ran well in defeat on seasonal debut at Tipperary last month, 5L adrift of Slainte And Thanks over 2m4f. Balgowlah and Our Brian, both making seasonal reappearances can battle for remaining prize money, while Whitango should be considered if repeating a recent impressive comeback run at Tipperary last month.
