Age: 8| Weight: 10-1| J: D F O'Regan| T: G Elliott| OR: 116

Mutadaffeq²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: J M Moore| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 112| BF

14/1

Fairly useful on Flat (excuses last time) and was unlucky not bump into such a thrown-in rival over hurdles at Roscommon in June.

Form: 50071-2

Diamond Kut^h²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: J Nash| OR: 111

12/1

Fair winner at 10f on Flat who got off the mark over hurdles in 16-runner maiden at Cork (19.6f) 20 days ago, kept up to work after runner-up's mistake at last. May do better still now handicapping.

Form: 04/61

Moyode Gold²³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: C P McNamara⁽⁵⁾| T: J Nash| OR: 107

12/1

Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Galway (24f, good to soft, 14/1) 23 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Stable in good form.

Forecasts

Decor Irlandais (11/4), Sky Marshal (4/1), William of Wykeham (9/2), Cherif De L'Isle (11/2), Pakens Rock (17/2), Moyode Gold (12/1), Diamond Kut (12/1), Mutadaffeq (14/1), Chavi Artist (16/1), Bothar Dubh (16/1), Criq Rock (100/1)

SKY MARSHAL paid the price for a big mid-race move at Galway last time and doesn't look on a bad mark, so he's put forward as the selection. Cherif de L'Isle seems sure to give another good account, with Decor Irlandais and Mutadaffeq others to consider in an open race.
