Vaureal^t1²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Keith Donoghue| T: Ian Donoghue| OR: 109| BF

5/1

Lightly-raced hurdle winner. Good second of 12 in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (21f, soft, 10/3) 25 days ago. Wears first time tongue tie and should be competitive again if seeing out this longer trip.

The Dabbler¹⁹³

Age: 12| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr P W Gleeson⁽⁷⁾| T: L P Cusack| OR: 107| D

25/1

Unreliable type. Latest win in hurdle at Sligo in June. Attracted supported but never threatened when sixth of 10 in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (24.6f, good). Off 6 months and others preferred.

Form: 0/51436-

Shantou Princess⁷⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr B M Coonan⁽⁷⁾| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 104

10/1

Point winner. Successful over hurdles at Punchestown in December. 50/1, last of 7 in novice chase at Clonmel (20f, heavy) 79 days ago. Up in trip and may do better now handicapping.

Form: 381P77-

Pebble Bleu^t³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: C Motherway| OR: 103

11/1

Posted one of her better efforts when third of 12 in handicap chase at Clonmel (23f) prior to creditable sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle (6/1) at Bellewstown (24.1f, good) 35 days ago. Not dismissed back over the larger obstacles.

Form: P63436-

Riggs^p⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-5| J: L A McKenna⁽⁵⁾| T: P Cluskey| OR: 102

14/1

Sprang a surprise to win 11-runner handicap chase at Downpatrick (23.7f, good, 28/1) 8 days ago. Typically not the most reliable and remains to be seen if he backs that up.

Form: P5P04-1

Lets Do This^t1²⁵⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Jordan Gainford| T: C Collins| OR: 95

12/1

Modest maiden hurdler last seen finishing creditable third of 20 in handicap hurdle at Galway (22.4f, good to soft, 11/1). Straight into a handicap for his chase debut but will need to improve.

Form: 608/633-

Redzy Rocco³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Ricky Doyle| T: J P Fahey| OR: 93

12/1

Modest maiden hurdler. May still have needed the run when eighth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (22f, good, 13/2) 34 days ago. More required on chase debut.

Form: 5549/78-

Western Model⁷⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: P Nolan| OR: 93

9/2

Fair winner at 24f over hurdles but yet to match that form over fences, 8/1, eighth of 12 in handicap chase at Leopardstown (21.5f, good to soft) 75 days ago. Needs to improve for the step back up in trip.

Form: 636968-

Jimli's Cave^b⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Donagh Meyler| T: R K Watson| OR: 91

17/2

Modest winner at 22f over hurdles. Step in the right direction when 8/1, 11½ lengths third of 11 to Riggs in handicap chase at Downpatrick (23.7f, good) on debut over fences 8 days ago. Remains to be seen if he can back up that performance with blinkers back on.

Form: 271P0-3

Cullenwaine^p⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Simon Torrens| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 83| D

12/1

Shaped as if on the way back to form when respectable 13 lengths fourth of 11 to Riggs in handicap chase (12/1) at Downpatrick (23.7f, good) 8 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. One to be interested in.

Form: 51487-4

Free Parking^t⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Dylan Kidd⁽⁷⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 82

16/1

Tenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Cork (24.4f, good, 20/1) 7 days ago. Makes chase debut with plenty to prove.

Form: 00F/09-0

Kiln Time⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Cian Quirke⁽³⁾| T: D H Kelly| OR: 81| C

4/1

Pulled up on sole chase start. Latest win in hurdle at Naas in April. Respectable third of 16 in handicap hurdle (6/1) at Cork (24.4f, good) 7 days ago. Needs to prove he can replicate that form back over fences.

Form: P09P1-3

Thehairyfella^p²⁴⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Jake Coen⁽³⁾| T: G Elliott| OR: 81

14/1

Unreliable type. Again below form when tenth of 15 in handicap chase (12/1) at Ballinrobe (23.4f, good to soft). Work to do on return from 8 months off.

Form: 6P/30P0-

Forecasts

Kiln Time (4/1), Western Model (9/2), Vaureal (5/1), Pipers Boreen (5/1), Jimli's Cave (17/2), Shantou Princess (10/1), Pebble Bleu (11/1), Cullenwaine (12/1), Redzy Rocco (12/1), Lets Do This (12/1), Riggs (14/1), Thehairyfella (14/1), Old Soul (14/1), Free Parking (16/1), The Dabbler (25/1)

Last time out winner PIPERS BOREEN arrives on the back of her best run to date, and she makes appeal off only 3 lb higher back in an ordinary looking handicap. Cullenwaine shaped better than the result when fourth at Downpatrick 8 days ago and could be on a fair handicap mark if in the same form here, while Vaureal should give another good account if seeing out this longer trip. Former point winner Shantou Princess is worth a market check on handicap chase debut.
