13/2

Course winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Thirteenth of 15 in handicap hurdle (8/1) at this course 36 days ago. Very much going the right way when last seen in this sphere, so merits consideration.

22/1

Forecasts

Eastern Tornado (4/1), Franno (5/1), No Trouble (11/2), Aprils Joy (13/2), She's Good Company (15/2), Craic Eile (8/1), Misty Millie (9/1), Firstman (11/1), Angel's Trumpet (11/1), Self Assessed (14/1), Shamiyan (14/1), Final Endeavour (16/1), Lariat (16/1), Andratx (16/1), Santorini Sun (22/1), Boing (25/1), Cape Agulhas (40/1), Wisaka (40/1), Nailed Down (50/1)

SHAMIYAN was shaping well from higher marks in the summer and has been given a chance by the handicapper now, so a chance is taken on him down in grade despite a quiet run over hurdles at Kilbeggan 41 days ago. Aprils Joy was on the up when last seen in this sphere, so she's regarded as a danger along with No Trouble.
