Natural Look⁶³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: T P Harney⁽⁷⁾| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 119

10/3

Successful with a bit to spare in claimer at Clonmel in May (final start for Declan Queally) and improved on debut for new yard when good second of 15 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (19.3f, good to soft) 63 days ago, clear of rest. Big player.

Theflyingbee^t¹³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Patrick M O'Brien⁽⁷⁾| T: F G Hand| OR: 116

8/1

Off the mark at second attempt over hurdles at Bellewstown (20.5f) in April and, despite making errors, she improved when fifth of 17 in minor event hurdle at Punchestown (19.3f, good to soft) 135 days ago. Could have more to offer now sights set on handicaps.

Ring O Roses^p1¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 115| BF| C

12/1

Winner of a course maiden (16.2f) early last year and largely performed with credit in defeat in handicaps thereafter. Hasn't come up to expectations in a couple of chase starts in recent months but she appeals as a likely bounce back candidate returned to hurdling. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

Form: 69-234U

Cobra Queen³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 113

7/2

Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. Much-improved when winning 15-runner handicap hurdle at Cork (20f, good to soft, 17/2) in July and further progress when runner-up at Downpatrick (21.8f) 33 days ago. Again showed tendency to flash her tail but there could be more to come at this sort of trip.

Form: 348-F12

Jolie Jewel^h⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Phillip Enright| T: B McMahon| OR: 111

13/2

Thrice-raced winner over hurdles. Hooded for 1st time, produced another solid effort when fifth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16.5f, good to soft, 28/1) 44 days ago. Feasible to think there's more to come and she's comfortably one of the least exposed.

Form: 0-15

Folly Beach^h³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: L A McKenna⁽⁵⁾| T: M A Molloy| OR: 109

12/1

Fair Flat winner. Thrice-raced maiden over hurdles. Second of 17 in novice hurdle (9/2) at Cork (17f, good to soft) 39 days ago. Back up in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Not taken lightly.

Form: 242

Ginnets Girl⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR: 109

11/1

Bumper/maiden hurdle winner but not truly threatening of late, eighth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Galway (24.3f, soft) 40 days ago, merely closing up late. Others appeal more.

Form: 974-658

Influential Lady⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-1| J: K Callaghan⁽⁵⁾| T: J Barcoe| OR: 108| C| D

9/1

Course winner. Latest win in hurdle at Navan in March. Seventh of 11 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft, 10/1) 7 days ago. Significantly back up in trip.

Form: 3631-07

Andyourbirdcansing⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Cian Quirke⁽⁵⁾| T: J P Ryan| OR: 102

12/1

Winner in hurdle at Sligo in June. 10/1, bounced back to form when second of 6 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f, soft) 9 days ago. Claims of making the frame again turned out quickly.

Form: 133672

Game And Glory^b⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Tiernan Power Roche⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 101| CD

18/1

C&D winner. Latest win in hurdle here in April. Fourth of 7 in handicap hurdle (7/1) at Kilbeggan (24.4f, soft) 9 days ago, plugging on. Another holding each-way claims.

Form: 71-2P34

Love Like This⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Danny Mullins| T: J P Ryan| OR: 100

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Fourth of 16 in novice hurdle (9/4) at Kilbeggan (19f, soft) 9 days ago, going off too hard. Makes handicap hurdle debut.

Forecasts

Natural Look (10/3), Cobra Queen (7/2), Jolie Jewel (13/2), Theflyingbee (8/1), Influential Lady (9/1), Ginnets Girl (11/1), Ring O Roses (12/1), Folly Beach (12/1), Andyourbirdcansing (12/1), Paidi's Passion (14/1), Game And Glory (18/1), Love Like This (25/1)

Successful in claiming company at Clonmel in May, NATURAL LOOK shaped well starting out for her new yard when runner-up (12 lengths clear of the third) back in handicap company at Kilbeggan in July. Given another break ahead of this, she looks up to making her mark again. Cobra Queen and Folly Beach are feared most, whilst a return to hurdling may see Ring O Roses in a better light.
