Bothar Dubh^t1³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean O'Keeffe⁽⁵⁾| T: D Queally| OR: 131| C| D

10/1

In very good form throughout 2019 but two starts this year short of his best and terms of this race not in his favour.

Form: 12230-0

Line Out¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: D F O'Regan| T: J E Kiely| OR: 130| C

15/2

Won three handicap hurdles at up to 2m4f and shaped well twice now over fences. Terms here not in his favour but no surprise should he go well anyway.

Form: 4543-72

Aint Dunne Yet⁴⁶⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: Patrick Cronin| OR: 119| BF

80/1

Ran away with a small field chase at Leopardstown in March but pulled up sharply after the first latest and that raises concerns today.

Form: 243U1P/

Go Another One^t¹⁴³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Ben Harvey⁽⁷⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 142| D

11/5

Five-time hurdle winner won twice as a novice chaser before falling at the Cheltenham Festival. Claims crystal clear here with highest rating of 142.

Form: 51123F-

Just Get Cracking¹³⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-2| J: C J Orr⁽⁵⁾| T: J Dullea| OR: 124

33/1

Multiple Tramore winner at up to 2m5f over both hurdles and fences, including on testing ground. Second of nine here in November but below that level at Wexford and terms here very much up against him.

Form: 2151/26-

Max Dynamite^p²³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-2| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| OR: 138

4/1

Former Melbourne Cup winner on the Flat rarely runs over hurdles these days but once second in Galway Hurdle too. Be surprising if he doesn't go close today all things considered.

Form: 0P0/446-

Mine Now²⁶

Age: 12| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr S Perry⁽⁷⁾| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 129| D

40/1

129-rated 12-year-old kept some good company of late but on the weights here has a bit to do to make the frame.

Form: 5373-53

The Red Menace²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: E Walsh⁽⁷⁾| T: N Meade| OR: 122

9/2

Galway winner over fences last October but recent form not sparkling and would need to be at his best to contend here.

Form: 3418P-0

Tigris River^t²³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Mark Walsh| T: A A Howard| OR: 131| C

7/1

The 2017 Galway Hurdle remains his most recent success although he did run pretty well at Kilbeggan latest. Others preferred for win purposes but place quite possible.

Form: 30759-4

Make My Heart Fly^t¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: L P Dempsey| T: G Elliott| OR: 125| D

14/1

Already successful over fences this summer but even with all of the allowances she is up against it here.

Form: 1F4-215

Forecasts

Go Another One (11/5), Max Dynamite (4/1), The Red Menace (9/2), Tigris River (7/1), Line Out (15/2), Bothar Dubh (10/1), Make My Heart Fly (14/1), Just Get Cracking (33/1), Mine Now (40/1), Aint Dunne Yet (80/1)

GO ANOTHER ONE has probably flown under the radar at this stage but he is a really smart individual with nine wins in just 23 starts. The top rated horse here; he would give weight all around if this were in a handicap so appeals as the one to beat. Max Dynamite often frustrates over obstacles but at the weights and ratings he is the obvious threat. Although on a long losing run Tigris River may be best of the rest.
