50/1

Latest win in hurdle at Cork in July 2019. Last of 7 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Ballinrobe (16.8f, good to soft), never travelling well. Off 12 months. Up in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 09/91F7-

11/4, career best when winning 10-runner handicap chase at Kilbeggan (19.9f, good to soft) 17 days ago, always holding on. Switches from chase to hurdles. Others make more appeal.

18/1

3/1 and blinkered for 1st time, fell in handicap chase at Wexford (20f, soft) 20 days ago too far out to suggest outcome. Switches from chase to hurdles. Looks competitive on form.

Forecasts

Rhythm Divine (13/8), The Caddy Rose (11/4), Rasiym (5/1), Bay Hill (6/1), Dollar Value (7/1), Ashqar (7/1), The King Of Brega (7/1), Kilkeaskins First (8/1), Rightplacerightime (11/1), Make The Switch (12/1), Humm Baby (14/1), Court Tycoon (18/1), Devil's Glen (18/1), Trans Wood (25/1), Dorans River (33/1), Smiling Eliza (50/1)

DOLLAR VALUE ran well at Sligo and makes plenty of appeal off a low weight. Rasiym can't be discounted, while Bay Hill won this race last year and would hold decent each-way claims once again.
