Larkfield Lusive¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-12| J: J G Gilligan⁽⁷⁾| T: R P Rath| OR: 92

Mahler Appeal^p²⁰³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Danny Mullins| T: G J Power| OR: 88| D

5/1

Lightly-raced maiden who finished runner-up on 3 of his 4 starts in handicap hurdles last season. Rare poor effort over fences when last seen during the spring and he's a likely type to bounce back returned to smaller obstacles.

10/1

17/2, below form ninth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (24f, soft) 46 days ago. Previous Down Royal effort contained definite promise however, and he's remains less exposed than most.

Ferrum^p1²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Donagh Meyler| T: G A Kingston| OR: 81

40/1

40/1, first run since leaving John McConnell when nineteenth of 20 in handicap at Navan (14f, heavy) 20 days ago. That run may have been needed on the back of 6 months off but good deal to prove in any case returned to timber.

20/1

Remains a maiden after 24 NH runs. 200/1, last of 5 in novice chase at Clonmel (24f, heavy) 40 days ago, left behind from end of back straight. Still, plenty to prove ahead of this return to hurdling.

Forecasts

Larkfield Lusive (7/2), Duffys Getaway (4/1), Mahler Appeal (5/1), Toor Moon (5/1), Ocean Legacy (7/1), Will It Be You (8/1), Reserve Judgement (8/1), Heart Of Rome (10/1), Lightontheriver (12/1), Ben Thomson (12/1), Courting Vickie (18/1), Drimsree Lad (20/1), Kiln Time (25/1), Copper Coast (28/1), Treyarnon Bay (33/1), Ferrum (40/1), Manwal (66/1), Charlie Bawnie (66/1)

TOOR MOON remains a maiden but he arrives on the back of a string of consistent efforts in handicaps over shorter in recent months and with this step up in trip expected to hold no fears, he earns the vote to come out on top. Reserve Judgement and Mahler Appeal head the dangers, with Larkfield Lusive another to consider.
