Walhaan^p,t²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-11| J: Declan McDonogh| T: Ciaran Murphy| OR: 93| C

9/2

3 wins from 11 runs this year. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap (10/1) at this C&D 28 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Return to further may suit ideally but he's not discounted in a competitive affair.

Benavente¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Robbie Colgan| T: Kevin Coleman| OR: 85| CD

20/1

C&D winner. Eighth of 10 in minor event at this course (7f, 11/1) 14 days ago, probably in need of the run after 4 months off. Better showing anticipated.

No More Porter^p,t¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Ronan Whelan| T: A McGuinness| OR: 85| D

5/1

Latest win at the Curragh in September. 10/1, respectable sixth of 10 in minor event at this course (7f) 14 days ago, keeping on final 100 yds. Trainer going well and he holds each-way claims.

Form: 915056

Catch The Paddy⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Rory Mulligan⁽⁷⁾| T: P J McKenna| OR: 84

16/1

Useful 6/7f winner at his best but completely lost his form on turf in recent months, last of 16 in handicap at York (7.9f, soft) 56 days ago, very slowly away. First run for yard after leaving Kevin Ryan and he has it to prove.

Hightimeyouwon (7/4), Blues Emperor (10/3), Walhaan (9/2), No More Porter (5/1), Exquisite Acclaim (8/1), Catch The Paddy (16/1), Benavente (20/1)

HIGHTIMEYOUWON comes here on the back of solid runners-up efforts on each of his last 2 starts around here and looks to hold solid claims back up at 1m. No More Porter and Walhaan may emerge as the chief dangers.
