Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Phillip Enright| T: J Dullea| OR: 102

Form: 2435F/0

Cushinstown Finest^p¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Jordan Gainford⁽⁷⁾| T: C Bowe| OR: 102| D

9/1

Has raced just the twice over fences; did improve from first effort but needs to bounce back from disappointing recent run over hurdles at Tipperary.

Form: 61454-5

Tiantu^t¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr P Power⁽⁷⁾| T: Paul Power| OR: 102| C

6/1

Course novice chase winner (2m6f, good; 7-2) in May last year; proved uncompetitive in a series of handicaps since both over fences and hurdles; not disgraced on seasonal reappearance at Killarney recently; chance on best of his form.

Form: 87856-5

Rossderrin^t¹³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: L P Dempsey| T: J P Dempsey| OR: 101

17/2

Has a modicum of ability over hurdles and that has been a similar story over fences; has time on his side but would have needed to have shown more to be considered betting material.

Myrons³⁶⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: J J Doyle| T: P M J Doyle| OR: 100| C

9/1

Landed 2m6f course hunter chase three starts ago but well held on two starts since including last time at Killarney; likes this track so no forlorn hope.

Form: 334/156-

October Revolution¹⁷

Form: 7/139P-6

My Oakclahome¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Sean Flanagan| T: D M O'Brien| OR: 98| BF

9/4

Winning point-to-point runner who landed a Downpatrick hunter chase in May last year; plenty to like about his two latest runs (separated by 13 month) including useful effort at Tipperary in early July; definite chance.

Form: 12/123-4

Shes Flat Tothemat¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Simon Torrens⁽⁷⁾| T: M Winters| OR: 98

7/2

Very capable hurdler/chaser; finally of the mark in a Tipperary handicap chase over a similar trip to today last July; could still be progressive and one to note.

Form: 51215-3

Ballybrowney Walk¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Danny Mullins| T: G Ahern| OR: 94

14/1

Long-standing maiden over hurdles/fences; well beaten on both starts since returning from a break; difficult to see her being too competitive from out of the handicap.

Form: 4724-70

My First Symphony^t¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: Patrick Cronin| OR: 86

16/1

Well beaten on all three chase starts and on that evidence it is very hard to make a case for.

Form: 2P009-0

Mary Fields^h¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-9| J: M Hamill⁽³⁾| T: N P Hennessy| OR: 83

40/1

Tailed off beaten 120 lengths on only chase outing to date at Killarney last week; hurdles form was pretty dire as well so difficult to recommend.

Form: 7945-60

Kilbrew Gold^t¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: H Morgan⁽⁷⁾| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 100

40/1

Reserve 2 Lightly-raced in the last couple of years. Five-race maiden over the larger obstacles and latest run was uninspiring.

Forecasts

My Oakclahome (9/4), Shes Flat Tothemat (7/2), Mister Butler (5/1), Tiantu (6/1), Mossy White (8/1), Rossderrin (17/2), Cushinstown Finest (9/1), Myrons (9/1), Ballybrowney Walk (14/1), October Revolution (14/1), My First Symphony (16/1), Buck A Trend (22/1), Ballyfinboy (33/1), Mary Fields (40/1), Kilbrew Gold (40/1)

Not the strongest of races to end the card and only a few with a notable chance. SHES FLAT TOTHEMAT failed to sparkle last time out at Kilbeggan but was not beaten that far despite tiring in the closing stages. She is a winning chaser and could make amends here in a weaker field. My Oakclahome was sent off favourite last time at Tipperary but found a few too good. With that run under his belt he might find a better finish than he did last time.. Myrons has run two decent races at this track including winning over 2m6f three starts ago. His two most recent were below par but back on this track, he could go well.
