Whereyounow^b¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Sean Flanagan| T: R Sweeney| OR: 109| D

5/1

1 win from 3 runs this season. Career best when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle (12/1) at Listowel (20f, good) 13 days ago, keeping on well. Should remain competitive.

Creditable seventh of 13 in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (24.3f, good, 50/1) 6 days ago. Needs more leeway from the handicapper.

Winner in hurdle at Tramore in July. Good third of 12 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (21f, good, 15/2) 17 days ago. Warrants consideration.

Form: 212273

33/1

Form: 1/0924-8

Stamp Your Feet⁵⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Mark Walsh| T: E Bolger| OR: 105| BF

6/1

Below form fourth of 10 in handicap chase at Kilbeggan (19.9f, good to soft, 5/2) 57 days ago, left poorly placed. One to note from significantly lower hurdling mark.

Form: 5090-14

Dragon Houdini^p,t⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Donagh Meyler| T: S Crawley| OR: 104

18/1

Creditable seventh of 12 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (21f, good, 16/1) 17 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Needs to find a bit more.

Form: 5-P36P7

Sweet Sting¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Brian Hayes| T: M J Bowe| OR: 102

8/1

Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (21f, good, 17/2) 17 days ago, finishing with running left. Likely to give a good account.

Form: 603-294

Minella United³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 101

20/1

Possibly amiss when pulled up in handicap chase (16/1) at Wexford (25f, soft) 36 days ago, labouring circuit out. Switches from chase to hurdles. Plenty to find.

Form: 00-646P

Eagle Roque^b²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Sean O'Keeffe⁽³⁾| T: P Nolan| OR: 98

10/1

Remains a maiden after 16 NH runs. Good third of 11 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Wexford (20f, good) 29 days ago. Blinkers back on. One to consider.

Form: 86/20P-3

Lessofdnegativity²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: A J McNamara| OR: 98

12/1

10/1, bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (25f, good to soft) 23 days ago, doing too much too soon. Probably remains in form but has nothing in hand.

Form: P-64776

Northern Emperor^p,t⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: C J Orr⁽⁵⁾| T: V T O'Brien| OR: 95| D

11/2

Career best when winning 16-runner handicap hurdle at Listowel (24f, soft, 18/1) 9 days ago, kept up to work. Will find this tougher.

Form: 16764-1

Happie Days⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: J P O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: T Gibney| OR: 90

20/1

7/1, seventh of 10 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (22.3f, good) 55 days ago. Others make more appeal. RESERVE.

Form: F000-27

Forecasts

Whereyounow (5/1), Northern Emperor (11/2), Stamp Your Feet (6/1), Sweet Sting (8/1), Dragon Houdini (9/1), Elegant Dan (9/1), Eagle Roque (10/1), Lessofdnegativity (12/1), Double Windsor (12/1), Amaulino (14/1), Finding Joy (18/1), Happie Days (20/1), Minella United (20/1), Abyssinian (25/1), Oscer Romero (33/1), Sullane Hill (33/1), Lilshane (80/1)

STAMP YOUR FEET's return to form this season has come over fences but he's been fully effective over hurdles in the past, so the discrepancy between the two marks makes him look very well treated back in this sphere. He's a confident choice ahead of Sweet Sting and Whereyounow, who both performed with credit last time.
