Doonbeg Don³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 94

9/2

Promising individual. 4/1, below form ninth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (22f, soft) 32 days ago, weakening before 2 out on the back of 4 months off. Remains the type to do better for very good stable.

Form: 26/6449-

Glas Acres²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Niall Moore⁽⁷⁾| T: Frank Hayes| OR: 93

16/1

Fourteenth of 19 in handicap hurdle (22/1) at Tipperary (16f, good to soft) 23 days ago. That was his first start for 5 months and this should reveal more.

Form: PP/4490-

Flicker Of Hope³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Aidan Kelly⁽⁵⁾| T: M Fahey| OR: 90

5/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle (8/1) at Limerick (16f, heavy) 35 days ago, faring best of those held up. Should have more to offer on that evidence.

Form: 0094-

Tingarran Express²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Brian Hayes| T: Miss D O'Shea| OR: 90| BF| C

10/3

Gained breakthrough success here (16.3f) on penultimate start and backed that up when second of 19 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (16f, good to soft, 5/2) 23 days ago, running on. Expected to be bang there.

Form: 557212-

Castlehill Boy^t²⁰³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: Brendan Walsh| OR: 89

12/1

Tongue strap on for 1st time, below form seventh of 12 in handicap hurdle at this course (16.6f, heavy, 25/1). Off 6 months and betting may prove a useful guide.

Form: 490/597-

Temptation Time^t²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Phillip Enright| T: M M McNiff| OR: 87

66/1

Minor promise on first of 3 starts in maiden hurdles but offered little since, fifteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (20.5f, good to soft, 66/1) in a first-time tongue strap 22 days ago. Can only be watched.

Form: 9790-

Moyvilla Lass^t²⁵¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Gary Noonan⁽⁵⁾| T: E McCarthy| OR: 86| BF

12/1

Bit below form fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle (9/2) at Kilbeggan (24.4f, good). Off 8 months. Back down in trip.

Form: 554744-

Realtin Lonrach⁴⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: J J Slevin| T: M O'Dowd| OR: 85

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 20 in novice hurdle (300/1) at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy) 46 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut.

Form: 6800-

Shesabreeze^t²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: C P McNamara| T: E McNamara| OR: 85

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 16 in handicap hurdle (40/1) at Bellewstown (20.5f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Needs to find some improvement if she's to figure here.

Form: 006P9-

Cullenwaine^p³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Simon Torrens| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 84

16/1

Eleventh of 17 in handicap hurdle (16/1) at Naas (19.3f, soft) 30 days ago, making some headway after 3 out. Needs to show benefit of that run if he's to figure here.

Form: 5299P0-

Turkey And Ham²⁸⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: J S McGarvey| T: N C Kelly| OR: 84

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Good fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle (28/1) at Perth (20.2f, good to soft) in August, headway 2f out and plugging on. Absent since but possible she may yet have more to offer on the back of just 5 career starts.

Form: P67/904-

Victory Star⁶²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Philip Byrnes⁽³⁾| T: C Byrnes| OR: 84

10/1

Didn't need to improve to win 14-runner claimer (18/1) at Dundalk (10.7f) 62 days ago, well ridden. Switches from Flat to hurdles on debut for new yard and worth noting if the market speaks in his favour.

Form: 00/800U-

Navy Waves^p²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Danny Mullins| T: Mrs J Cashin| OR: 82

16/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Seventeenth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (16f, good to soft, 9/1) 23 days ago. More needed.

Forecasts

Flicker Of Hope (5/2), Tingarran Express (10/3), Doonbeg Don (9/2), Victory Star (10/1), Barbaha Queen (10/1), Castlehill Boy (12/1), Moyvilla Lass (12/1), Navy Waves (16/1), Cullenwaine (16/1), Glas Acres (16/1), Supreme Authority (16/1), Shesabreeze (25/1), Turkey And Ham (25/1), Realtin Lonrach (25/1), I'vedoneitall (33/1), Temptation Time (66/1)

Having gained her breakthrough success here 2 starts back, TINGARRAN EXPRESS ran another solid race when runner-up at Tipperary 23 days ago and in the hope the return to further doesn't catch her out, all looks set fair for another big run. Flicker of Hope and Doonbeg Don look the pair to give her most to think about.
