Brown Monday²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Jordan Gainford| T: J J Hanlon

50/1

Modest hurdler. 12/1, below form seventh of 12 in novice hurdle at Sligo (16.9f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Makes chase debut.

Form: 645607

Clever Currency^t¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Keith Donoghue| T: P W Flynn| D

33/1

Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles. Eighth of 9 in novice chase at Limerick (18.6f, good, 25/1) 13 days ago. Has lost his way.

Form: 074P-P8

Custers Mistake^b1,t¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Phillip Enright| T: M M McNiff

15/2

Fair maiden hurdler/chaser. Very good fourth of 9 in novice chase at Limerick (18.6f, good, 14/1) 13 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time.

Form: 25-4234

Homme D'Un Soir^p,t¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: D A Jacob| T: S R B Crawford| OR: 127| D

7/4

Dual hurdles winner over this trip. Off 12 weeks, 22/1, bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (22.1f, good) 17 days ago. This could be a good starting point over fences.

Form: P8438-6

Sholsang³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Simon Torrens| T: D M Christie

33/1

Winning pointer. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 11 in novice chase (66/1) at Wexford (20f, soft) 32 days ago.

Stormey^t⁷

Age: 12| Weight: 11-12| J: J G Gilligan⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Gilligan| OR: 114| D

11/2

Off a year, excellent fourth of 9 in novice chase at Galway (18.2f, good, 66/1) for new yard 7 days ago. Obvious claims if that form can be taken as read.

Form: 5750/3-4

The Tack Room⁸⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: J S McGarvey| T: J E Kiely| BF

9/2

Fairly useful hurdler. 13/8, running creditably when brought down last (would have only been placed at best) in handicap hurdle at Cork (20f, good to soft) 87 days ago. This trip probably short enough on chase debut but he's clearly of interest.

Form: 87/373-B

Ena Baie²³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: C G O'Dwyer⁽⁷⁾| T: C O'Dwyer| D

4/1

Fairly useful hurdler. Fifteen runs since last win in 2019. 13/2, tenth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (16.9f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Makes chase debut.

Form: 440-520

Eye Of The Dragon^p,t³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Corey McGivern⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs D Foster

200/1

Poor hurdler. Eighth of 9 in novice chase at Wexford (16f, soft, 150/1) on debut over fences 32 days ago.

Form: 706-008

Influential Lady^t¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Sarah Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: J Barcoe| OR: 107

17/2

Fair chaser. Three wins from 10 runs last season. 22/1, third of 5 in minor event chase at Killarney (17f, good) 18 days ago. Bit more needed.

Form: 79P-3U3

Non-Runners

Whosgotyanow³²

Weight: 11-5| Age: 6

T: A Slattery J: Cian Quirke

Forecasts

Homme D'Un Soir (7/4), Ena Baie (4/1), The Tack Room (9/2), Stormey (11/2), Whosgotyanow (6/1), Custers Mistake (15/2), Influential Lady (17/2), Clever Currency (33/1), Sholsang (33/1), Brown Monday (50/1), Eye Of The Dragon (200/1)

Not a strong race on paper and HOMME D'UN SOIR could be well placed to make a winning start over fences. The veteran Stormey has obvious claims if backing up last week's Galway effort and The Tack Room also has to be of interest.
