Made it 2-2 in this sphere in 5-runner novice hurdle (6/1) at Ayr (20.4f, heavy) 33 days ago. This demands more however.

Outlaw Peter^t²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Bryony Le Clerc| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 129

5/2

Fairly useful hurdler who scored at Exeter in November. 11/2, pulled up in the mud in handicap hurdle at Kempton (21f) 21 days ago but is the sort to bounce back.

Form: 34-121P

Rexem¹⁰⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Ben Harvey| T: J C McConnell| OR: 126| BF| D

3/1

Fairly useful winning hurdler, latest success at Killarney in August. 5/4, last of 6 in novice at Cheltenham (24f) 105 days ago so needs to bounce back after his break.

Form: 313116

Hemlock¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: T Gibney| OR: 125

2/1

Fairly useful hurdler who comes here on the back of a good third of 14 in novice at Navan (20f) 14 days ago. Proven over this longer trip and holds very strong form claims.

Form: 2253-P3

Inis Oirr³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 115| BF

15/2

Runner-up in Irish point and has gone with promise on all his three hurdling runs, staying-on sixth of 12 in handicap at Kelso (22.7f) 37 days ago. Not discounted over this longer trip.

Form: 82-326

Shadows In The Sky³²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Tom Midgley| T: C Grant| D

66/1

Easily off mark in Irish points and encouraging second of 7 in novice hurdle at this C&D (soft) 32 days ago. This is a tough ask, though.

Form: F-12

Forecasts

Hemlock (2/1), Outlaw Peter (5/2), Rexem (3/1), Inis Oirr (15/2), Glen Cannel (17/2), Shadows In The Sky (66/1)

Irish challenger HEMLOCK has yet to score over hurdles but boasts some fairly useful form and looks to have been found a good opportunity to add to his bumper success. Outlaw Peter is fancied to bounce back from his Kempton showing under these less testing conditions and rates second best ahead of Inis Oirr.
