Off time: 14:01 | Winning time: 3m 51.30s

Action Plan²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Jack Kennedy| T: Gerard O'Leary| BF

11/8

Fairly useful Flat winner who has made a solid start over hurdles, matching debut form in this sphere when third of 10 in juvenile hurdle at Listowel (16f, good) 21 days ago. Obvious claims.

Form: 33

Cruden^t¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Donagh Meyler| T: Mrs J Harrington

11/1

Fairly useful on Flat (stays 11.5f), won maiden at Limerick in May, below form in handicaps since. However, no great surprise where he capable of making an impact now hurdling and interesting if the market spoke in his favour.

Form:

Mick Collins^t1³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Ewing| T: N Meade

3/1

Inns Of Court gelding. Dam half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 2½m) Winning Spark. Fairly useful form when in frame all 4 starts on Flat, fourth of 16 in maiden (4/1) at Navan (10.2f, good) 36 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time now hurdling.

Form:

Robbies Rock^t²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Flanagan| T: G P Cromwell| BF

13/2

Failed to justify strong support when third on hurdles debut at Killarney (17f) back in July but improved model on Flat since, opening his account at Navan (14f) prior to a good second at Listowel (12f) 3 weeks ago. Likely he can do better returned to this sphere.

Form: 3

Star Runner¹¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: O R Brown⁽⁵⁾| T: W Durkan| BF

9/1

Zoustar half brother to fairly useful hurdler Cozone (2½m winner). Fairly useful form on Flat (stays 1¼m), runner-up last 2 starts for Andrew Balding earlier this year and he's another to note in the betting now hurdling.

Form:

Turn And Finish³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: R Deegan| T: J P O'Brien

8/1

Fair form only start on Flat and despite signs of greenness, offered something to work on when midfield in 13-runner juvenile hurdle at Ballinrobe 4 weeks ago. Represents leading yard and he looks sure to do better.

Form: 6

Janes Harbour^h1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: Mark Walsh| T: J P O'Brien

18/1

Promise when midfield only start in maiden on Flat and shaped as if in need of the experience when seventh of 10 in juvenile hurdle at Listowel (16f, good) on NH debut 21 days ago. Hooded for 1st time. Should improve.

Form: 7

Forecasts

Action Plan (11/8), Mick Collins (3/1), Robbies Rock (13/2), Turn And Finish (8/1), Star Runner (9/1), Cruden (11/1), Your Out Of Line (16/1), Janes Harbour (18/1)

ACTION PLAN cemented the positive start made over hurdles when third in juvenile company at Listowel 3 weeks ago and he looks to hold sound claims of opening his account here. Robbies Rock and Turn And Finish are others to consider with improvement anticipated. Star Runner is one of the hurdling newcomers to note in the betting for clues.
