Donnie Devito^h,t⁵⁸

9/2

Improved again to make it 2 wins from 3 starts over hurdles in 12-runner novice hurdle (11/1) at Galway (20.7f, good to soft) 58 days ago, responding well. Much respected despite having to concede weight all round.

Form: 335-711

My Great Mate³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins

4/6

Promising type completed a simple task in 7-runner maiden hurdle at Sligo (20.6f, soft, 1/11) 38 days ago, unchallenged. Likely to progress further.

Form: 190-231

Where's My Jet³⁵

7/2

Bumper winner who left hurdling debut form when winning 14-runner maiden at Killarney (16.4f, good to soft, 10/1) 35 days ago, pushed out. Should be fine with the step back up in trip and much respected in follow-up bid.

Form: 2/41-01

Disco Dancer^t⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Sam Ewing| T: G Elliott| OR: 116

10/1

Fairly useful hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Cork in July. Creditable third of 6 in minor event hurdle at this C&D (good, 5/1) 6 days ago. Should remain competitive.

80/1

Went backwards from hurdling bow when seventh of 9 in maiden at Sligo (17.4f, soft, 11/1) 38 days ago. Hooded for 1st time. Easy to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

My Great Mate (4/6), Where's My Jet (7/2), Donnie Devito (9/2), Has Me Dreaming (15/2), Disco Dancer (10/1), Cathryns Ruby (80/1)

MY GREAT MATE completed a simple task in the manner of a useful sort at Sligo last month and is fancied to follow up with further progress on the cards. Where's My Jet, a stablemate of the selection, could be the one to provide the main threat.
