Ennemi Public^b1¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: R Deegan⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs D Foster| OR: 116

Fairly useful winner at 2m over hurdles. 4/1, below form fifth of 10 in novice chase at Ballinrobe (23f, good) 11 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time and not ruled out.

Form: 1408-25

Jimli's Island²⁰⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Derek McGrath⁽⁷⁾| T: R K Watson

150/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Fourteenth of 15 in novice hurdle at Thurles (15.8f, heavy) in February, taking little interest and beaten long way out. Hard to make a case for now chasing.

Form: 07P6P0-

Lovely Moon^h1¹³³

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: D Queally

33/1

Poor hurdler. 100/1, first run since leaving Michael Ronayne when eleventh of 13 in novice chase at this course (22f, good) on debut over fences 133 days ago. Hooded for 1st time.

Form: 900/700-

Nero Rock^t¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Phillip Enright| T: M F Morris

6/5

Fairly useful hurdler who ran best race over fences when 1 length third of 6 in a Killarney maiden (17f) last month, held only late on. Looks an obvious player with a repeat.

Form: 0P-3303

Presenting Bonnie¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: B J Cooper| T: J P Ryan| C

15/8

Fell first on chase bow at Killarney in May but picked up progressive thread over hurdles since, making it 3 wins from last 5 starts (all gained here) over 18f last month. May do better in this sphere

Form: F11891

Forecasts

Nero Rock (6/5), Presenting Bonnie (15/8), Ennemi Public (9/2), Earths Furies (12/1), Lovely Moon (33/1), Jimli's Island (150/1)

A fairly useful operator over hurdles, NERO ROCK ran his best race yet over fences when a length third in a 6-runner Killarney novice 2 weeks ago and a repeat may well be enough to see him get off the mark here. Presenting Bonnie is proving progressive over hurdles this term and may emerge as the chief threat back over fences, ahead of Ennemi Public.
