10/1

Fourteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Listowel (18f, good) 15 days ago. Significantly up in trip and while she's no forlorn hope, some of these make greater appeal.

Forecasts

Outside The Door (6/4), Kilkee Bay (11/2), Yulong Voice (7/1), Built By Rossies (15/2), Tankardstown Diva (8/1), Brideswell Lad (8/1), Arabian King (10/1), Noble Hilltop (10/1), Midleton Rare (10/1), Wa Wa (10/1), Milanaway (12/1), Western Model (12/1), Reserve Judgement (14/1), Ragin Cajun (16/1), Joya Del Mar (16/1), Quite Incredible (20/1), Bronson In Blue (100/1)

YULONG VOICE pulled clear of the rest when runner-up at Cork on his latest start in May and, provided that he is ready to roll following a break, this 7-y-o may well go one better here. Next on the list is Outside The Door, who scored off a 10 lb higher chase mark at Wexford last time. Built By Rossies and Midleton Rare both bring potential to the table now handicapping, while Arabian King will be a threat if able to get back on track.
