Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: James J Doyle| T: P F O'Donnell| OR: 65

33/1

Unreliable type. 7/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Killarney (14f, good to soft) 33 days ago. Not certain to be in the same form.

Form: 439-594

Mountain Fox^t¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Simon Torrens⁽⁷⁾| T: F Oakes| OR: 64| D

6/1

One win from 27 Flat runs. Won 15-runner handicap (11/1) at Leopardstown (12f, good to soft) 15 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Upped in distance again but looks vulnerable after a rise.

Form: 69-3391

50/1

Blinkers on for 1st time in this code, creditable fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Sligo (17.9f, good) 10 days ago, needing stiffer test. Significantly up in trip. Poor on last Flat run.

Age: 13| Weight: 10-2| J: Darragh O'Keeffe⁽³⁾| T: D Budds| OR: 63| D

14/1

Unreliable type. 40/1, respectable fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Cork (16f, soft) 22 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and looks favourably treated back in this sphere.

33/1

66/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, eighth of 15 in novice hurdle at Gowran (16f, good) on NH debut 26 days ago. Fair on the Flat, creditable on last Flat run in July.

Form: 33/79-50

40/1

25/1, below form tenth of 16 in handicap at Navan (13f, good to soft) 53 days ago. Up in trip. Not taken lightly.

Good 2¾ lengths fourth of 15 to Mountain Fox in handicap (25/1) at Leopardstown (12f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Should continue to give a good account.

Form: 000-504

De Mazzaro^t¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: C D Maxwell⁽³⁾| T: T G McCourt| OR: 49| BF| D

11/4

Winner at Fairyhouse in June. Creditable third of 14 in handicap hurdle (8/1) at Galway (16.7f, soft) 15 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Expected to be bang there.

Form: 0/653-14

Demi Plie^b²³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Leigh Roche| T: P Roche| OR: 49

7/2

Below form eighth of 14 in handicap hurdle (15/2) at Limerick (20f, soft) 23 days ago. Might come on for the run, so hard to rule out back on the Flat.

Pretty Fantasy^p1¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Gary Carroll| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 46| BF

13/2

Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. 4/1, creditable third of 14 in novice hurdle at Roscommon 12 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Hard to fancy on Flat form.

Forecasts

De Mazzaro (11/4), Demi Plie (7/2), Mountain Fox (6/1), Comporta (13/2), Pretty Fantasy (13/2), Bright Flame (7/1), Here For The Craic (14/1), War Eagle (33/1), Castle Chase (33/1), Border Battle (33/1), Bog War (40/1), Circling Moon (50/1)

DE MAZZARO is thriving under both codes at present and remains well treated based on hurdles form, so he makes plenty of appeal from what is still a very lowly mark. Compforta ran well over hurdles last time and returns to the Flat from a lenient mark, so he's the chief threat with Rachel Blackmore booked.
