Ilikedwayurthinkin¹³²

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: L P Dempsey| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 129

9/4

Useful handicap hurdler who did shpw promise over fences last term. Below form over hurdles when last seen in May but he remains with potential in this sphere moving forward.

Form: 8/53770-

Mosstown Miller²¹

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Mark McDonagh⁽⁷⁾| T: Patrick J Hassett| OR: 79

80/1

Long-standing maiden over hurdles/fences who did at least run best race when 1.5 lengths third of 13 over 25f at Kilbeggan last month. However, this a tall ask back in maiden company.

Form: 0/U9-793

Premium Package^b1,t³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: H Morgan⁽³⁾| T: H De Bromhead

7/1

Fairly useful chaser. 3/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable third of 8 in novice chase at Kilbeggan (25f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Fitting of blinkers may put an extra edge on him.

Form: 350-243

Russian Diamond⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Brian Hayes| T: E Mullins| BF

5/4

Bumper/hurdles winner who again failed to complete over fences but looked most likely winner when unseating at the last at Galway (18f) in July. Big player with prospect of more to come.

Form: 12/3F-5F

Scarpeta¹²³

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: P J Carberry| T: A McNamara| D

14/1

Useful hurdler. Respectable second of 8 in minor event hurdle at Killarney (20f) 123 days ago.Has switched yards ahead of chase debut and he's clearly a player if taking to this discipline.

Form: 1/52P4-2

William of Wykeham^t¹²³

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: D F O'Regan| T: M M McNiff| BF| C

11/1

Fairly useful hurdler. 9/2, creditable fifth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (22.2f, good) 123 days ago. Makes chase debut and interesting what the market makes of him.

Form: P1125-5

Young Ted⁶²

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Sean Flanagan| T: N Meade

15/2

Fairly useful winner at 3m over hurdles. Creditable third of 10 in novice chase at Wexford (20f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Should improve in this sphere but he does need to keep the errors at bay.

Form: 50P-438

Forecasts

Russian Diamond (5/4), Ilikedwayurthinkin (9/4), Premium Package (7/1), Young Ted (15/2), William of Wykeham (11/1), Scarpeta (14/1), Ardaghs Choice (33/1), Earths Furies (40/1), Mosstown Miller (80/1)

RUSSIAN DIAMOND has now failed to complete on 2 of his 3 starts over fences, yet he had jumped fine and looked the most likely winner prior to coming to grief at the last at Galway in July. He remains open to improvement in this sphere and shades the vote to gain compensation. Scarpeta is most interesting now tackling larger obstacles, ahead of Ilikedwayurthinkin and Premium Package.
