Beyond The Law^p,t²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: D J McInerney| T: M F Morris| OR: 126| CD

9/1

7/1, running well fell in handicap chase at Galway (22.5f, heavy) 28 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Cheekpieces back on. Warrants respect.

Form: P650-2F

Just Get Cracking⁴⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: C J Orr⁽³⁾| T: J Dullea| OR: 124| D

50/1

Eighth of 10 in minor event hurdle (33/1) at this course (24f, good to soft) 112 days ago. Pulled up in a point since, so doesn't make much appeal.

Form: 51/26-8P

Jukebox Jive^t¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: C P McNamara⁽⁵⁾| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 123

9/2

Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. Useful winner at 18f on flat. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable ninth of 16 in handicap at Naas (14f, heavy, 12/1) 15 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles.

Form: 14/60-

Commentariolus⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: K C Sexton| T: G Elliott| OR: 120

28/1

Thrice-raced winner over hurdles. 7/1, sixth of 12 in handicap at Thurles (16f, soft) 45 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Still has potential in this sphere, so not dismissed on handicap bow.

Form: 135/

Slippery Serpent²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Philip Donovan⁽⁷⁾| T: E J O'Grady| OR: 118| D

16/1

Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle (33/1) at Galway (16f, heavy) 28 days ago, running on. Up in trip. Retains plenty of ability and looks worthy of the shortlist.

Form: 213P3/5

Father Ailbe²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: D F O'Regan| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 116

25/1

9/1, seventh of 10 in handicap hurdle at Galway (21.2f, heavy) 29 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 4104P-7

No Memory²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: A McCurtin⁽⁵⁾| T: W C O'Brien| OR: 115| D

13/2

2 wins from 4 runs this season. Career best when winning 8-runner minor event hurdle at Wexford (20f, heavy, 5/1) 28 days ago by 1½ lengths from Owenacurra Lass. Could have even more to offer.

Form: 95-5171

La Feline²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: B J Cooper| T: P Nolan| OR: 114

11/1

Ninth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Galway (21.2f, heavy, 13/2) 29 days ago. Might well strip fitter for that, so not discounted from a reasonable mark.

Form: 0/0210-9

Owenacurra Lass⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Simon Torrens⁽⁵⁾| T: D Queally| OR: 112

4/1

5/1, creditable fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.2f, heavy) 7 days ago. Back up in trip. Should give another good account.

Form: 2310-25

Burlesque Queen²⁹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: J G Gilligan⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss E Doyle| OR: 109| D

9/1

Latest win in hurdle at Clonmel in November 2019. 25/1, bit below form seventh of 27 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (18f, soft). Off 9 months. Enters calculations.

Form: 121237-

Lilshane^b,t⁴⁹

Age: 12| Weight: 10-7| J: Gary Noonan⁽⁷⁾| T: T P O'Connor| OR: 109

150/1

Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (24f, good to soft, 80/1) 49 days ago, losing place before 4 out. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 0UP80-P

Rebel Early²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: W J Burke| OR: 109| D

9/2

28/1, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (20.6f, soft) 25 days ago. Not taken lightly.

Form: U518-64

Rebel Waltz¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: D E Mullins| T: T J Nagle-Jr| OR: 107| D

8/1

Winner in hurdle at Wexford in September. 6/1, respectable fifth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (19.5f, heavy) 12 days ago. Not discounted.

Form: 215435

Forecasts

Owenacurra Lass (4/1), Internal Transfer (4/1), Rebel Early (9/2), Jukebox Jive (9/2), No Memory (13/2), Southerner (13/2), Rebel Waltz (8/1), Beyond The Law (9/1), Burlesque Queen (9/1), La Feline (11/1), Slippery Serpent (16/1), Father Ailbe (25/1), Commentariolus (28/1), Just Get Cracking (50/1), Lilshane (150/1)

NO MEMORY had a bit spare when landing a minor event at Wexford last month and has the scope for further progress, so gets the marginal vote in a race where plenty can have a case made for them. In-form duo Southerner and Owenacurra Lass can give the selection most to think about.
