7/1

12/1

Bit below form fifth of 13 in handicap chase (12/1) at Clonmel (23f, heavy) 10 days ago, might have needed the run. Could get back on her game but others are more appealing.

Flynsini^b¹⁰

Age: 13| Weight: 9-12| J: Philip Donovan⁽⁷⁾| T: P M Cloke| OR: 79

28/1

Forecasts

Laid Back Luke (4/1), Glorious Galway (5/1), Classic Concorde (6/1), Down The Highway (13/2), My Oakclahome (7/1), Minellafordollars (15/2), Alohamora (8/1), Killisk Ben Rose (12/1), Moscowsowhat (14/1), Cappacurry Zak (22/1), Flynsini (28/1), Ned Stark (50/1)

LAID BACK LUKE produced a gutsy display after a long absence to defy this mark over hurdles at Fairyhouse 15 days ago and, while there's a chance this race comes too soon, it's worth taking the chance that the veteran is in the same form back over fences. The lightly-raced My Oaklahome has potential if tuned up for his return from 7 months off.
