9/2

Off the mark for season in12-runner claiming hurdle at Bellewstown (20.5f, good) in August. However, failed by a long way to back that up when pulled up after 3 out in handicap hurdle at Listowel (24f, soft) 29 days ago. Returns to chasing now.

Ah Remy Martin^p¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: T Gibney| OR: 114

10/3

Progressive hurdler who made the perfect start over fences when winning 5-runner novice chase at Cork (17.6f, good) on debut over fences 11 days ago. Looks the type to do better again so very much of interest on handicap debut in this sphere.

Form: 36-5331

General Clermont⁹

10/1

2 wins from 5 runs this season. Latest win in chase at Wexford in August. Fell in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (20f, good, 9/2) 9 days ago, second when coming down heavily 2 out. Respected provided he's over those exertions returned to chasing.

14/1

Fair chaser. Fourth of 7 in novice chase (11/1) at Sligo (17.6f, good) 22 days ago, mistakes not aiding her cause. Not discounted on just her second start in handicaps in this sphere.

Form: 2U3434

Lake Chad¹⁴

9/1

4/1, proved as good as ever when winning 8-runner handicap chase at Tramore (15.5f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Return to this longer trip will hold no fears and respected in this groove for all his revised mark demands more.

11/1

Latest win in chase at Limerick (21.8f) in May. 10/1, fourth of 7 in handicap chase at Galway (18.2f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Present mark demands that little bit more.

Clonbury Bridge^b,t²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Keith Donoghue| T: J P Dempsey| OR: 106

10/3

Forecasts

Clonbury Bridge (10/3), Ah Remy Martin (10/3), Winding River (9/2), Routine Excellence (9/2), Lake Chad (9/1), General Clermont (10/1), Natural Breeze (10/1), Kilmurry Jj (11/1), Faux Fur (14/1), A Mere Bagatelle (25/1)

Progressive over hurdles, AH REMY MARTIN made the perfect start over fences when landing a Cork maiden 11 days ago and, with the return to further looking likely to suit now handicapping, he looks to have plenty going for him again. General Clermont, Clonbury Bridge and Lake Chad, who arrives in rude health, are others to consider.
