9/2

Last of 12 in handicap (66/1) at Ballinrobe (13f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Latest effort in this sphere was creditable and she has to be taken seriously.

Form: 1426-33

Fiver Friday¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: L A McKenna⁽⁵⁾| T: Paul Traynor| OR: 112

13/2

Successful over hurdles at Naas in April. Solid effort on the Flat last time and each-way claims on handicap debut in this sphere.

Form: 137-

Fortunate Lighting⁴⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Conor Stone-Walsh⁽³⁾| T: Thomas Coyle| OR: 110

25/1

Bit below form sixth of 15 in novice hurdle at Limerick (19.2f, good, 9/2) 45 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Charles Byrnes and more needed now handicapping.

Form: 516/55-6

She Is Electric^h³⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: J J Slevin| T: N Lee| OR: 110

28/1

Fourth of 7 in novice chase at Roscommon (16.2f, good to soft, 80/1) 34 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Readily passed over.

Form: 144/P-54

Flidais⁴⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: J P Ryan| OR: 104| D

12/1

Latest win in chase at Clonmel in March. Last of 6 in handicap hurdle (7/2) at Ballinrobe (16.3f, good) 47 days ago. Needs to bounce back but, on the upside, she continues to edge down the weights.

Form: 58148-6

Burvea⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Danny Gilligan| T: D Broad| OR: 102| D

13/2

20/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, last of 12 in handicap at Navan (13f, good) 57 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Pulled up latest start in this sphere but merits consideration nonetheless.

Form: 2/1463P-

Spick And Span³³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: K C Sexton| T: J Fahey| OR: 102

9/4

Remains a maiden after 18 NH runs. 12/1, first run since leaving Aidan Anthony Howard when creditable second of 16 in handicap hurdle at this course (17.7f, good) 33 days ago, outbattled. One to consider.

Form: 04434-2

Teagarden Jazz^t²²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Cian Quirke| T: Charlie Keegan| OR: 102

25/1

Good sixth of 10 in novice hurdle at Thurles (15.9f, good to soft, 18/1). Off 7 months and she will need to raise her game in order to play a leading role.

Form: 296666-

Radar Ahead⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: T G McCourt| OR: 102

3/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 12/1, third of 9 in maiden at Bellewstown (12.2f, good) 9 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Very good on last hurdle outing and well worth a second look on handicap debut in this sphere.

Form: 47-2

Forecasts

Spick And Span (9/4), Radar Ahead (3/1), Dame Rapide (9/2), Burvea (13/2), Fiver Friday (13/2), Flidais (12/1), Fortunate Lighting (25/1), Teagarden Jazz (25/1), She Is Electric (28/1)

The one who appeals most is RADAR AHEAD, who stepped up on what she showed on her first two starts in this sphere when runner-up in a Ballinrobe maiden in May and she has subsequently performed with credit on the Flat. The 4-y-o makes her handicap debut in this sphere on a workable mark and she gets the nod ahead of Spick And Span and Dame Rapide.
