Sir Bob^p²⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 12-0| J: Simon Torrens| T: R Tyner| OR: 113| C| D

16/1

Latest win in chase at Cork in November. Pulled up in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (29.6f, soft, 10/1) 25 days ago, pulled up 3 out. Switches from chase to hurdles.

Form: 22-601P

Ballyadam Destiny^p,t⁴⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-13| J: Daniel King⁽³⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 112| D

20/1

Below form fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (24f, heavy, 7/1) 49 days ago, folding. Rejoined yard after leaving Shane Kieran Ryder. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 5033-55

Shotgun Jack³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Philip Donovan⁽⁵⁾| T: P G Kelly| OR: 111| C| D

9/2

2 wins from 6 runs this season. 15/2, career best when winning 14-runner handicap hurdle at this course (21f, heavy) 37 days ago, well on top finish. Assessor applies further pressure but well worth considering in hat-trick bid back up at 3m.

Form: 000511

Champagnesocialist^p¹⁸⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: B W Harvey| T: J C McConnell| OR: 106

25/1

Bumper winner who was unimpressive and nowhere near her best when landing 10-runner novice hurdle (8/11) at Hexham (20.1f, good) in June, staying on to lead run-in. Cheekpieces worn then on again for this handicap debut and the betting may prove a useful guide.

Form: 2223-21

50/1

5/1

3/1, very good second of 13 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (heavy) 67 days ago, clear of rest. Has to be taken seriously.

5/1

Creditable fourth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (24.4f, soft, 12/1) 32 days ago. Needs to build on that run here.

40/1

16/1, first run since leaving Sandy Forster when sixth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (21f, soft) 30 days ago, in contention before home turn and not quicken. Return to this longer trip rates a plus.

Form: 116-4P6

He's Home Again^t1⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Mike O'Connor⁽³⁾| T: E Cawley| OR: 92

12/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 18/1, very good sixth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (24.1f, soft) 48 days ago, that despite being hampered 3 out. Tongue strap on 1st time. Should have more to offer.

Form: 003-86

Made In The Woods^h¹¹

Forecasts

Ishan (9/2), One Big Bang (9/2), Shotgun Jack (9/2), Mont Saint Vincent (5/1), Ballycashin (5/1), Made In The Woods (11/1), He's Home Again (12/1), Sir Bob (16/1), Ballyadam Destiny (20/1), Champagnesocialist (25/1), Glorious Singer (33/1), Lissen To The Lady (40/1), Carrig Carol (40/1), Fill The Tank (50/1)

MONT SAINT VINCENT pulled a long way clear with an improving sort when runner-up in a C&D handicap in October and a repeat should see him firmly in the mix once more from a 5 lb higher mark. The rapidly improving Shotgun Jack in search of the hat-trick rates the lead threat, ahead of Ishan. He's Home Again also rates the type to do better.
