12/1

Latest win in hurdle at Punchestown in February 2019. Thirteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (23f) in May of that year and only market support would make him of interest on belated return.

3/1

25/1, creditable third of 14 on handicap hurdle debut at Limerick (16f, heavy) 16 days ago, Remains unexposed and the step up in trip rates a likely plus.

15/2

13/2

66/1, very good sixth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Cork (19f, good) 46 days ago, unable to sustain effort having made a big move in to contention. Not taken lightly.

Form: 080-096

22/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, tenth of 18 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (16.7f, soft) 86 days ago. Is entitled to hold more chance now handicapping at least.

22/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 100/1, first run since leaving Harry Fry when eleventh of 22 in novice hurdle at Navan (2m) in March. Hard to assess on that evidence on return from an absence.

11/4

One win from 34 NH runs. Twenty runs since last win in 2017. 11/2, bit below form fourth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy) 30 days ago. Fancied to be thereabouts.

40/1

Remains a maiden after 18 NH runs. Unseated rider in handicap hurdle at this course (19.7f, good, 33/1) 63 days ago, getting no further than the second. Still, overall record far from inspiring.

Forecasts

Crack On Corrie (11/4), Inagh's Gift (3/1), Bartleys Boy (13/2), Getaway Queen (15/2), Ask David (12/1), Otzi (12/1), Padraic's Choice (14/1), Barangarou (14/1), Glennanar (18/1), Getting In Touch (18/1), Sweet Cassie (20/1), Loquacious Lady (22/1), De Milano (22/1), Like A Demon (22/1), Monatierna (33/1), Snugsborough Lucy (33/1), Megara (40/1)

A decidedly trappy handicap with the vote in favour of INAGH'S GIFT. She showed the benefit of her reappearance effort when third at Limerick (2m) 16 days ago and the step back up in trip rates a plus. Crack On Corrie and Getaway Queen are a couple of others to consider.
