4/1

Unreliable individual. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, good second of 9 in novice chase (6/1) at Tramore (21.7f, soft) 26 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Others remain more persuasive.

Form: F8-22R2

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| OR: 108| C

11/1

Fair hurdler. 1 win from 3 runs this season. Latest win in hurdle at Cork in August. Eighth of 10 in minor event hurdle at Bellewstown (17.2f, good, 9/2) 16 days ago. Up in trip. Not taken lightly if shrugging off latest effort.

Forecasts

Sea Music (5/4), Howaya C D And E (4/1), Ringdufferin (9/2), Clifftop (6/1), Luminous Light (8/1), Jay Jay Zee (9/1), Moon Rise Beauty (11/1), Thunder (14/1)

LUMINOUS LIGHT was in the process of running a good race when coming down at the last at Ballinrobe last time and is taken to bounce back in style here. Clifftop is weighted to go well so rates the main danger ahead of Sea Music who has the scope for further progress.
