Unreliable type. Tenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16.7f, soft, 66/1) 112 days ago. Off 112 days ahead of this polytrack debut. Poor effort on latest start in this sphere.

Gougane Barra^t²⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: Ronan Whelan| T: M Halford| OR: 67| C

9/1

Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2019. Creditable fifth of 14 in handicap (8/1) at this C&D. Off 9 months, but shouldn't be far away if fully tuned-up.

Form: 530-25V

Happaugue⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: S Foley| T: J C McConnell| OR: 67| BF| CD

1/1

C&D winner. Good second of 14 in handicap at this C&D (9/4) 7 days ago. Nudged up 3 lb for that, but has to be taken seriously nonetheless.

Form: 04-1152

(3)

Pachmena¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: J M Sheridan⁽⁵⁾| T: J Feane| OR: 69| CD

13/2

Career best when winning 13-runner handicap (40/1) at this C&D 14 days ago. 3 lb rise may find her out in what looks a more competitive race.

Form: 502091

11/1

Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, respectable seventh of 14 in handicap at this course (12f, 40/1) 11 days ago. Merits consideration.

Wooster^t⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: O J Orr| T: N C Kelly| OR: 63| CD

25/1

C&D winner. Pulled up in handicap hurdle (25/1) at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) 41 days ago. Latest effort in this sphere was poor and others make more appeal.

33/1

Course winner. Latest win at Navan in September. Below form fifth of 14 in handicap at Gowran (9.4f, heavy, 20/1) 30 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Gulf Of Aidan⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: N G McCullagh| T: R Sweeney| OR: 64

100/1

17/2, twelfth of 14 in maiden here (8f) 63 days ago. Significantly up in trip on debut for new yard/handicap bow and place possibilities off what looks a workable mark.

HAPPAUGUE lost no caste in defeat when going close back here following a 4-month break last week, and he is taken to resume winning ways. Stablemate Make The Switch hinted at a revival here recently and makes each-way appeal, but if Gougane Barra is ready to roll following a 245-day absence he could prove most troublesome. Pachmena scored over C&D a fortnight ago, but has more on her plate now.
