17/2

Hophornbeam^t¹⁹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Richard Condon⁽⁷⁾| T: G Elliott| OR: 92

7/2

Maiden who ran creditably when fourth at Sligo (17.5f) in October, weakening on run in. Disappointed at Thurles final start a month later but returns for leading yard from reduced mark and interesting what the market makes of her.

14/1

Lightly-raced maiden under Rules who ended time below best for Philip Hobbs during early 2021. Successful between the flags subsequently though, so interesting what the market makes of her back under Rules.

Natural Look²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: C P McNamara| T: D Queally| OR: 83

20/1

6-y-o mare who didn't offer a great deal in trio of mares' novice/maiden hurdles during summer 2021 for Tom Symonds. Placed in points more recently so another requiring a market check now handicapping in this sphere for new yard.

Forecasts

Cottie (13/8), Hophornbeam (7/2), Must Be Dreaming (11/2), Miss Daingerfield (11/2), Lizlucky (8/1), Millyinthemiddle (17/2), Dangan Des Champs (14/1), La Mystere (14/1), Gold Creek (16/1), Natural Look (20/1), Kilrush Scorpion (20/1), Kilashee (20/1), Super Proud (22/1), Gaelic Force (66/1)

COTTIE had little fuss in defying cramped odds when off the mark in a 16-runner novice hurdle at this course 4 weeks ago and she could be worth siding with to continue the good work back in handicaps under top weight. Lizlucky and Must Be Dreaming are others fancied to feature, whilst Hophornbeam needs monitoring in the betting on return/debut for Gordon Elliott.
