1/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 22/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, left previous efforts well behind when excellent third of 19 in juvenile hurdle at Cork (16.7f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Sound claims with a repeat.

Dontgowithjoe¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Simon Torrens| T: P J Rothwell

66/1

Fair maiden on the Flat but soon detached making yard debut when fifteenth of 16 in juvenile hurdle at Limerick (16.9f, good, 20/1) on NH debut 16 days ago. Needs to leave that well behind if he's to figure.

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Jordan Gainford| T: C Collins

20/1

€5,000 3-y-o, Pillar Coral gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful 2m hurdle/chase winner Rindoon and fairly useful hurdle/chase winner (stayed 2½m) Johnny Jump Up.

Harpy Eagle¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Donagh Meyler| T: R P Cody

80/1

Twice-raced maiden. 100/1, ninth of 16 in juvenile hurdle at Limerick (16.9f, good) 16 days ago, well beaten home turn. Can only be watched.

Form: 09

No Knee Never¹⁶⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Paddy Hanlon⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Hanlon

22/1

Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Enthused (2m-2½m winner). Fairly useful maiden at best on Flat himself (stays 1m), well held on all-weather/handicap debut last time (sole outing for Jack W. Davison). Betting can guide now attentions switch to timber.

Form:

Raydamann¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Sam Ewing| T: G Elliott| OR: 112

1/1

Fairly useful maiden on the Flat and going the right way in this sphere, finding only one too good in 16-runner juvenile hurdle at Limerick (16.9f) 16 days ago (well clear of remainder). Likely to progress further and big shout here.

Forecasts

Raydamann (1/1), Autumn Twist (1/1), Shaboozee (11/2), Fourtwofour (20/1), No Knee Never (22/1), Dontgowithjoe (66/1), Harpy Eagle (80/1)

RAYDAMANN has improved with each start over hurdles, finishing a good second on his latest outing at Limerick 16 days ago. Appealing as the type to progress further, he can one place better here. Autumn Twist arrives on the back of a very good third at Cork and rates the chief threat.
