1/4

Promising individual. Smart winner at 18f over hurdles. Career best when winning 6-runner novice chase at Kilbeggan (19.9f, good to soft, 5/2) 10 days ago, soon clear. Outstanding claims.

Form: 0010-41

Sholsang¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Simon Torrens| T: D M Christie

12/1

Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Ninth of 11 in novice hurdle (3/1) at Down Royal (20.4f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 12 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Yard in good form, so not discounted.

Form: 1P3P-29

Influential Lady¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Kieran Callaghan⁽⁷⁾| T: J Barcoe| OR: 80| D

5/1

Fair chaser. Promising third of 11 in novice chase (33/1) at Tramore (15.4f, good to soft) on debut over fences 11 days ago, finishing well. Back up in trip. Should have more to offer.

Form: 5179P-3

Loughaneala Og¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: P J O'Hanlon⁽⁵⁾| T: W J Burke| OR: 95

40/1

Modest chaser. 80/1, below form fifth of 11 in novice chase at Tramore (21f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Plenty more is needed.

Form: 608-495

Myladyrose⁵⁹³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-9| J: M F Mooney| T: Mrs A Mooney

50/1

Modest chaser. One win from 21 NH runs. Respectable seventh of 18 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (24f, soft, 5/1). Off 19 months with her fitness to prove back chasing.

Form: 72P217/

Trans Wood⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-9| J: Philip Donovan⁽⁵⁾| T: G M Doyle| OR: 78| D

20/1

Poor hurdler. One win from 48 NH runs. Creditable third of 13 in handicap chase at this C&D (good to soft, 25/1) 7 days ago but very hard to make a case for.

Form: 050-853

Call Me Lyreen (1/4), Influential Lady (5/1), Sholsang (12/1), Trans Wood (20/1), Loughaneala Og (40/1), Myladyrose (50/1)

CALL ME LYREEN impressively opened his account over fences at Kilbeggan last week and Gordon Elliott's smart hurdler is very much the one to beat despite conceding weight all round. Sholsang and Influential Lady look the duo best equipped to fight it out for minor honours.
