17/2

33/1, first run since leaving Dan Skelton when creditable seventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (24.4f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and this ease back in trip will hold no fears.

Form: 52PPP-7

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR: 122

10/3

Improved to make a winning handicap hurdles debut at Down Royal (20.3f) in June and seemingly not so well served by emphasis on speed when last of 3 in a Roscommon novice (20.5f) since. Remains one to be interested in.

Form: 513-F13

Island Mahee²³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: J J Slevin| T: S R B Crawford| OR: 116

10/3

Career best when winning 13-runner handicap hurdle at Cartmel (17.2f, good to soft, 9/1) 23 days ago, readily. Back up in trip. Has to be taken seriously.

Form: 5832-21

Lighthouse Rose^p³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Phillip Enright| T: M M McNiff| OR: 110| D

16/1

14/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, fell in handicap chase at Downpatrick (23.5f, good to soft) 38 days ago, still going okay when coming down 4 out. Still others preferred back over smaller obstacles.

Form: 20P8-0F

Galon De Vauzelle^p1⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: J B Foley⁽³⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 104| C

7/1

C&D winner. 11/2, eighth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (20f, soft) 43 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Others more persuasive.

Form: 2454-S8

Story Rory^t⁵⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: T Gibney| OR: 102| CD

2/1

Career best when winning 16-runner handicap hurdle (6/1) at this course (22.3f, good to soft) 50 days ago, going away at the finish. 9 lb higher now but not discounted now she's back on track.

Form: 33900-1

Park Hind¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: C G O'Dwyer⁽⁷⁾| T: A Lynch| OR: 92

16/1

18/1, fifteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (23.8f, good) 15 days ago. Needs to step up to play a part here.

ISLAND MAHEE has found some improvement of late and impressed in how quickly she drew clear when landing a big-field Cartmel handicap 23 days ago and, from the same mark, she could well be up to following up. Fellow last-time-out winner Story Rory and Bravo Team can also feature.
