Presenting Doyen²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Danny Gilligan⁽⁵⁾| T: C Collins| OR: 119

11/10

Fairly useful hurdler. 11/1, career best when winning 6-runner minor event hurdle at Killarney (20f, good) 21 days ago, headway to lead last and going clear. Fancied to feature again with rider taking off handy 5 lb.

Form: 851-201

Timourid^t³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Keith Donoghue| T: P W Flynn

4/1

Fairly useful winner at 10f on Flat who created a good impression in making his first completed start in this sphere a successful one at Roscommon (15.5f) leading between last 2 and doing it comfortably. Player with prospect of more to come.

Form: U/1

Killeemore Lad⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Cian Quirke⁽⁵⁾| T: A Slattery| OR: 115

5/1

Lightly-raced dual winner over hurdles (at up to 19f). Thirteenth of 16 in maiden (100/1) at Galway (12.2f, good to soft) on flat debut 8 days ago, in rear and never on terms. Bounce back not ruled out returned to timber.

Form: U04-115

Western Comandor^t⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Liam Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: J P Ryan| OR: 112

14/1

Fair hurdler. Winner in hurdle at Down Royal in March. 50/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, thirteenth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16.7f, soft) 4 days ago. Not that easy to warm to turned out quickly.

Form: 51-4F40

Hazelhatch Lady³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Mark McDonagh⁽⁵⁾| T: J Fahey

7/2

Bumper winner who was pulled up first start 2 starts over hurdles but much improved to open her account in maiden company at Roscommon (20f) last month, running on. That may not prove her limit now she's off the mark. Down in trip.

Form: 48/1P-P1

Forecasts

Presenting Doyen (11/10), Hazelhatch Lady (7/2), Timourid (4/1), Killeemore Lad (5/1), Western Comandor (14/1)

TIMOURID created a good impression when making his first completed start over hurdles a winning one in a Roscommon maiden in July, and with further progress in the offing on that evidence, he's fancied to make a bold bid to follow up in this stronger affair. Presenting Doyen, following her Killarney victory 21 days ago, can emerge as the chief threat.
