9/4

Fair hurdler. Winner of Musselburgh handicap in March and ran up to best when second in 6-runner novice here (16.2f) 57 days ago. Can give another good account back up in trip.

Form: 33013-2

Ailie Rose⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: B S Hughes| T: S R B Crawford

10/3

Is related to winners and showed ability under a considerate ride when second in 19f Limerick maiden hurdle on debut. Not so good over C&D last time but it remains early days.

Form: 23

Cancan¹³³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Henry Brooke| T: N W Alexander| OR: 100

85/40

Fair hurdler who matched previous form when second in 10-runner handicap at this course (16.2f, soft) in May. Thereabouts again if seeing out this longer trip after a break.

Form: P7433-2

Clearly Crazy¹²³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

9/1

Backed at long odds and offered something to work on when fourth of 11 in bumper at Wexford (20f) on NH debut in March. Placed in points subsequently so worth a look now going hurdling for new yard.

Form: 423-U2

She Is A Contender²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: S Bowen| T: J C McConnell

6/1

Successful on second of 2 starts in points. Showed little in a Downpatrick bumper on Rules debut but offered something to work on sent hurdling for new yard when seventh at Down Royal. May do better.

Form: 4/1-87

Loveybond⁹⁶

Form: 0

Forecasts

Cancan (85/40), Island Mahee (9/4), Ailie Rose (10/3), She Is A Contender (6/1), Clearly Crazy (9/1), Drumderry Ask (22/1), Loveybond (80/1), Silver Star Mix (200/1)

ISLAND MAHEE showed she's still on an upward trajectory when narrowly denied here in July, so she's the percentage call now back against her own sex. Cancan will be a big threat if seeing out this longer trip after a break, while it remains early days for the selection's stablemate Ailie Rose.
