Tingarran Express^h¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Simon Torrens| T: Miss D O'Shea| OR: 100| D

6/1

Consistent mare who was sharper for a recent run when winning 13-runner handicap hurdle at Clonmel (18.7f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Enters calculations from this 5 lb higher mark.

Form: 235271

Phoenix Cowboy^b²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Paul Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: M Winters| OR: 97

9/2

Remains a maiden after 17 NH runs. 7/1, respectable third of 18 in handicap hurdle at Cork (16.7f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Blinkers back on. Has good chance on pick of form.

Form: 006743

Makfils^t³⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Donagh Meyler| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 93| D

9/2

One win from 26 NH runs. 12/1, fifteenth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good to soft) 39 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 187850

Splendid Choice^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: D Robinson| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 90

25/1

Maiden who took a small step back in right direction when sixth of 13 in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Clonmel (18.7f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Task is to build on that with cheekpieces refitted.

Form: 080P06

Midnight Eagle⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Cian Quirke⁽³⁾| T: Aengus King| OR: 88

18/1

16/1, below form eighth of 17 in handicap hurdle at this course (19f, good) 9 days ago. This drop back in trip may see him in a better light on that evidence.

Form: 07P568

Who's In Midfield^t²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: J J Slevin| T: S K Ryder| OR: 88

9/2

Lightly-raced 7-y-o who has stepped up switched to handicaps, off 11 months prior to a creditable fourth of 18 in handicap hurdle (11/1) at Cork (16.7f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Entitled to be sharper with that under his belt and worth a second look.

Form: 00F4-34

Sea The Sunset⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Brian Hayes| T: J Morrison| OR: 86

50/1

Twelfth of 16 in handicap hurdle (33/1) at this course (19f, good) 9 days ago, struggling before 5 out and tailed off. Needs to leave that in his wake if he's to feature.

Form: 901-P90

Navy Waves^p²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: R P Treacy| T: Mrs J Cashin| OR: 85| D

20/1

One win from 21 NH runs. 12/1, fifteenth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (20f, good) 24 days ago, possibly amiss. Had been proving consistent previously and no great surprise to see a better showing.

Form: 0-43320

Cramers Valley^b²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Tiernan Power Roche⁽⁵⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 84

5/2

Remains a maiden after 17 NH runs but he turned in his best effort of the season when second of 18 in handicap hurdle (6/1) at Cork (16.7f, good to soft) 21 days ago. A repeat should see him thereabouts again.

Form: 7904P2

Added Bonus^p,t²¹

Age: 11| Weight: 10-10| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: Brendan Walsh| OR: 82| D

28/1

Two wins from 46 NH runs. Below form eighth of 18 in handicap hurdle (18/1) at Cork (16.7f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 2P7278

Kir Royal Blou^p,t1⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: Jordan Gainford| T: W J Burke| OR: 78

80/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 66/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, thirteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at this course (19f, good) 9 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time.

Form: 0-00P0

Notevenatext^p,h³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: Daniel King| T: Brendan Walsh| OR: 77

18/1

50/1, offered more than previously without threatening when sixth of 16 on handicap hurdle debut at Thurles (15.6f, good to soft) 35 days ago. Needs to take another step forward if he's to feature, however.

Form: 0000P6

Forecasts

Cramers Valley (5/2), Phoenix Cowboy (9/2), Makfils (9/2), Who's In Midfield (9/2), Tingarran Express (6/1), Old Kenmare (8/1), Mujeres Isla (16/1), Midnight Eagle (18/1), Notevenatext (18/1), Navy Waves (20/1), Splendid Choice (25/1), Added Bonus (28/1), Sea The Sunset (50/1), Kir Royal Blou (80/1)

CRAMERS VALLEY turned in his best effort of the season when runner-up in a big-field handicap at Cork 3 weeks ago and, with his rider taking off a handy 5 lb, he can shed the maiden tag. Tingarran Express following her recent success over further and Phoenix Cowboy are others to consider. Navy Waves also rates a likely type to bounce back.
