In For The Night³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: J S McGarvey| T: D McDonogh| OR: 98

28/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Eleventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.6f, good, 28/1) 33 days ago. However, remains early days with him and it would be worth noting if the market spoke in his favour.

Form: 6-400

Bears Hug^t1³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: J P O'Sullivan⁽³⁾| T: J P Dempsey| OR: 97

16/1

12/1, first run since leaving Adrian Sexton when ninth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.6f, good) 33 days ago, possibly in need of the run following 8 months off. Tongue strap on 1st time and this should reveal more.

Form: 00/400-9

Duncarrig²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Danny Mullins| T: A Mullins| OR: 95

12/1

Sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Tramore (21f, heavy) 29 days ago, left behind early final circuit. Back down in trip.

Form: 5P6P-F6

10/1

Second of 11 in handicap chase (13/2) at Wexford (25.4f, heavy) 169 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Significantly back down in trip. Has good chance on form.

Form: 6P1302-

Lady Leanora^t1⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: P J Carberry| T: A J Martin| OR: 93

33/1

Thrice-raced maiden over hurdles. Fourteenth of 17 in novice hurdle at Cork (17f, good to soft, 100/1) 40 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. May well do better now attentions switch to handicaps in this sphere for shrewd stable.

Form: 000

Edge Of My Seat^h,t¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Simon Torrens| T: A A Howard| OR: 91

5/1

9/1, creditable fifth of 14 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (18f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Hood back on and not out of things with this drop back in trip expected to suit.

Form: 46-6625

Mutadaawel^p¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Carl Millar⁽⁷⁾| T: N Slevin| OR: 91| C

12/1

Twelfth of 17 in handicap at this course (14f, good to soft, 22/1) 16 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Down in trip. Poor on last hurdle run.

Form: 8493/90

Always Force It¹⁸⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 92

28/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 200/1, again offered little when fifteenth of 18 in novice hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy) in March. Goes handicapping now on the back of 6 months off and another worth a precautionary market check for clues.

Form: 0000-

Bowgate Street^t³³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: T Gibney| OR: 92

6/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, showed more than previously when fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.6f, good) 33 days ago. May do better still and she's one to consider.

Form: 008-4

Emotional Damage¹³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Jordan Gainford| T: G Elliott| OR: 89

20/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Seventeenth of 19 in novice hurdle (250/1) at Tipperary (15.8f, good to soft) 135 days ago. Booking of Gainford a plus. Makes handicap hurdle debut and worth noting if the market speaks in his favour.

Form: 97-0

Future Proof^p¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Conor Owens⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 87| D

14/1

One win from 38 NH runs. Twelfth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, good to soft, 16/1) 15 days ago. Others make greater appeal.

Form: 048750

Sceptred Isle⁷²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: M J M O'Sullivan| T: J G Carr| OR: 87

16/1

Maiden on Flat/over hurdles who left previous efforts in this sphere behind when fifth of 20 in handicap at Punchestown (16.2f) 11 months ago. Never figured at Cheltenham a month later though, and well held returned to the Flat in July. Joined another new yard ahead of this.

Form: 700/50-

Banada Bridge¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Flanagan| T: Mrs D Foster| OR: 86

9/2

11/1, good second of 13 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (16.4f, soft) 15 days ago, every chance when untidy last and keeping on. Task is to back that up now.

Form: 02-0572

Be My Hero¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR: 85| BF

7/2

Remains a maiden after 17 NH runs. 9/2, bounced back to best and did best of those held up when second of 13 in handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (17.2f, good) 17 days ago, running on. Possibly worth chancing to build on that from low mark.

Form: 7-62852

Windsor Diamond¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: J J Slevin| T: J Barcoe| OR: 80

25/1

Twelfth of 13 in handicap hurdle (28/1) at Wexford (16.4f, soft) 15 days ago, soon detached. Easy enough to look elsewhere. Reserve 1.

BE MY HERO remains a maiden but he went closer than he ever has to bucking that trend when just touched off at Bellewstown 17 days ago and he could just be worth siding with to cash in off his basement mark. Ishan, who arrives on the back of a good second over fences, low-mileage Bowgate Street and Edge of My Seat head up the dangers. Park of Kings would also be of interest if the market was to speak in his favour.
