Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: C D Timmons⁽³⁾| T: E Cawley| OR: 130| D

9/1

Twenty one runs since last win in 2018. Good fifth of 24 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (good to soft, 33/1) 32 days ago, barely adequate test. Not dismissed.

Form: 622505-

Act Of God¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: E J O'Grady| OR: 126| D

11/4

Off 6 months before encouraging sixth of 24 in handicap hurdle (16/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 32 days ago. Not taken lightly off a handy mark.

Form: 2131/86-

An Fraoch Mor¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: C A Landers⁽³⁾| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 123| D

9/1

Fairly useful winner at 20f in chases. Career best when winning 9-runner minor hurdle at Wexford (17f, soft, 7/1) 13 days ago. In the mix.

Form: 210/P0-1

14/1

Career best when winning 6-runner novice hurdle (11/4) at Kilbeggan (16f, soft) 7 months ago. More to offer now handicapping. Solid claims.

Form: 422221-

Future Proof^b¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Sean Flanagan| T: N Meade| OR: 122| D

33/1

18/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable eighth in handicap at Roscommon (12f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Not ruled out switched back to hurdles.

Longclaw^p,t¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Brian Hayes| T: J C McConnell| OR: 127| D

50/1

Three wins from 5 runs last season but only thirteenth of 15 in handicap at Killarney (16.8f, soft, 80/1) 18 days ago. Difficult ask.

Age: 9| Weight: 10-9| J: C P McNamara⁽³⁾| T: Paul Traynor| OR: 121| CD

80/1

Form: 68105P-

Bridge Native^t¹³

Age: 10| Weight: 10-8| J: C J Orr⁽³⁾| T: Ciaran Murphy| OR: 120| D

18/1

Four wins from 10 runs last season. Creditable 2¼ lengths third of 9 to An Fraoch Mor in minor event hurdle at Wexford (17f, soft, 11/1) 13 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Shortlisted.

Form: 22147-3

Winner Takes Itall¹⁵³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Mark Walsh| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 119| BF| D

7/1

Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. Below form twelfth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, soft, 10/3) 153 days ago. Sort to bounce back.

Form: 310/20-

Dollar Value^h¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: T G McCourt| OR: 117| D

14/1

Unreliable individual but posted career best when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good) 15 days ago. Needs to back it up now.

Form: 43FR6-1

Uncle Henry^t²¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Jordan Gainford⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs D Foster| OR: 114| D

28/1

33/1, bit below form eighth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (12f). Off 7 months. Back over hurdles now and no forlorn hope.

Form: 32F/140-

Cousin Harry^t³²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Simon Torrens⁽³⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 109| CD

8/1

Career best when winning 22-runner handicap hurdle at this C&D (good to soft, 25/1) 32 days ago. Can give another good account despite 9 lb rise.

Forecasts

Arcadian Sunrise (11/4), Goodbye Someday (11/2), Winner Takes Itall (7/1), Cousin Harry (8/1), Golden Jewel (9/1), An Fraoch Mor (9/1), Act Of God (11/1), Dollar Value (14/1), Santana Plessis (14/1), Bridge Native (18/1), Ava Rose (25/1), Uncle Henry (28/1), Future Proof (33/1), Longclaw (50/1), Bective Cave (50/1), Shumaker (80/1)

Lots with chances. SANTANA PLESSIS hasn't been seen out since opening his account in a Kilbeggan novice in October but is in very good hands and taken to return in style on his first venture into handicap company. Arcadian Sunrise is feared most on the back of his recent C&D sixth after a lay-off, with Winner Takes Itall another who figures on a good mark and respected.
