5/2

Fair on Flat. Improved on previous hurdling exploits when winning 9-runner novice hurdle at Downpatrick (17.3f, good, 5/2) 20 days ago, always holding on. Should go well again.

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR: 117

15/8

Fairly useful hurdler. Winner in hurdle at Fairyhouse in February. 18/1, shaped as if still in good form when fourth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (17f, good to soft) 55 days ago, keeping on gradually. Well in the mix back down in class.

9/4

Steady improver over hurdles in recent months, career best when winning 17-runner novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, good, 16/5) 33 days ago. Expected to be thereabouts again.

Form: 083-321

I Am The Sea²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: J J Slevin| T: P M Cloke

100/1

Fair maiden on the Flat. Once-raced maiden. 66/1, first run since leaving William Haggas when eleventh of 16 in novice hurdle at Roscommon (16.2f, good) on NH debut 26 days ago, never involved. This should reveal more.

Form: 0

Rene Artois²⁶⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Aidan Kelly⁽⁷⁾| T: J Nash| BF

50/1

Making GB/IRE jumps debut. Visored for 1st time, eleventh of 14 in claimer (16/5) at Dundalk (10.7f). Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving M. D. O'Callaghan and the betting should prove a useful guide.

Wayne R Walker²⁸

Modest maiden on the Flat. Twice-raced maiden over hurdles. 125/1, fifteenth of 17 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (16.2f, good) 28 days ago. Can only be watched.

Forecasts

Gordons Aura (15/8), Mister Wilson (9/4), Charlie Luciano (5/2), Calico (4/1), Rene Artois (50/1), All Ways And Ever (50/1), I Am The Sea (100/1), Wayne R Walker (100/1)

Off the mark over hurdles at Fairyhouse in February, GORDONS AURA has largely shaped as if still in good form since, fourth at listed level at Killarney in May. He looks to hold sound claims back in calmer waters, with Charlie Luciano and Mister Wilson heading up the dangers.
