O Connell Street^t¹¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: J R Wildman⁽²⁾| T: G Elliott| OR: 109

40/1

Fair in bumpers and ran to a similar level when runner-up on Catterick hurdle debut, but well below form both starts for new yard since. Goes handicapping with enough to prove.

Form: 24/2-67

Wait Here^t¹⁰⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: T Joseph Kelly⁽²⁾| T: A Leahy| OR: 109| D

11/1

Proved at least as good as ever to end a long losing run at Punchestown in October and ran creditably in follow-up bid when fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (2m) next time. Shortlisted.

Form: 7-90514

Fascino Rustico^t³¹

Age: 13| Weight: 11-11| J: Derek Thomas McGrath⁽²⁾| T: Richard Daniels| OR: 106| D

200/1

First run since leaving Gordon Elliott when pulled up in handicap hurdle (150/1) at this course (19f, heavy) 31 days ago, weakening 4 out. Others preferred.

Form: 1FP4F/P

Fou Diligence^p²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: T N Brett| T: J P Dempsey| OR: 104

7/1

12/1, best effort this season when third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (20f, heavy) 26 days ago, having run of race. Back down in trip.

Form: 4-99553

Capture The Action^b⁶³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Richard Condon| T: J J Mangan| OR: 103| D

16/1

Latest win in hurdle at Thurles in November, and not disgraced when sixth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy) next time. Can make presence felt.

Form: 217816

Djasek^t⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Liam McKenna| T: A J Martin| OR: 100

6/1

Very good second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (16.5f, heavy, 20/1) 41 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Must enter calculations.

Form: 766-002

Rough Terain¹⁰⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Dillon Maxwell| T: C Byrnes| OR: 99| D

2/1

Poor form when down the field in maiden/handicap hurdles.

Form: 0908-00

Deealli¹¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: D J Hand| T: M Fahey| OR: 98

11/1

Fair form standout effort over hurdles for Thomas Coyle. First run for new yard and worth a precautionary market check.

Form: 720-0P

Mc Alpine^t⁴¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: J P O'Sullivan| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 97

9/1

Form: PP-5867

Rock Chica⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Jack Brendan Foley⁽²⁾| T: T Mullins| OR: 108| D

11/1

Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. Not disgraced when eighth of 10 on handicap hurdle debut at Fairyhouse (16.5f, heavy, 8/1) 41 days ago, but needs a bit more if she's to defy this mark.

Form: 41648

I Don't Get It¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Dylan Johnston⁽⁴⁾| T: N McCluskey| OR: 93

14/1

Eleventh of 16 in novice hurdle at Thurles (15.7f, heavy, 50/1) 17 days ago. Remains with one standout effort.

Form: 977630

Rocco Storm⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: M M McDonagh⁽²⁾| T: Colm Murphy| OR: 93

12/1

Little impact in 4 maiden hurdles, so makes handicap debut with lots to prove.

Form: 678P

Get Phar⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: J G Gilligan| T: E Griffin| OR: 90

40/1

Well held in maiden hurdles but at least gets a crack at handicaps now.

DONT GO YET found only an improver/subsequent winner too good back at this trip at Fairyhouse in December and has scope for further improvement, so he's put forward as the answer. Wait Here and Junior Rattler are also shortlisted in an open race.
