Mars Harper^p²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: M J M O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: G Elliott| OR: 128

4/1

Useful hurdler. Respectable sixth of 13 in handicap hurdle (13/2) at Killarney (22.4f, good) 28 days ago.

Form: 527P-36

Quirt Evans^p1,t³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Sean Flanagan| T: D M O'Brien| OR: 132| D

33/1

Useful hurdler. Nowhere near that level in 4 chase starts this summer and likely vulnerable even if a return to hurdles sparks her back to form. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

Form: 3P-6P47

Bumper winner in June and 2-3 over hurdles since, producing a dominant performance in a 2m Perth novice 12 days ago. Very useful prospect who should have more to offer.

Forecasts

The Friday Man (4/6), Bugs Moran (11/4), Another Choice (7/2), Mars Harper (4/1), Wowsham (12/1), Quirt Evans (33/1)

Quite a useful contest. The Gordon Elliott stable has a very good record in this race so THE FRIDAY MAN, who has taken really well to hurdling, gets a narrow vote ahead of the returning Bugs Moran, who ran a cracker when second in a big-field handicap at the Punchestown Festival when last seen in the spring.
