Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: P Nolan| BF| D

2/1

Useful hurdler who won conditions race at Clonmel (7/4) in June with first-time blinkers. Finished second of 6 in chase over this course and distance (5/2) 33 days ago, showing encouragement despite not being bred for chasing. Looks capable of making successful transition to fences.

250/1

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Keith Donoghue| T: Ian Donoghue| D

6/1

Former John McConnell inmate who has shown fair form in maiden chases, including a fourth of 9 at Kilbeggan in June. Fell heavily 4 out when leading under a change of tactics in maiden chase at this course (5/1) 14 days ago. Could show more if reverting to patient tactics over this course and distance.

33/1

Modest over hurdles and below that level in chase debut, awkward early when 10th of 13 at Tipperary (33/1) 36 days ago. Without a win in 15 races. Cheekpieces back on.

Forecasts

Hms Seahorse (2/1), Speculatrix (9/4), Mr Escobar (5/2), Fiveonefive (11/4), Harsh (3/1), West Away (6/1), Joya Del Mar (14/1), Rauzan (28/1), Ashdale Flyer (33/1), Fiddledee (150/1), Larkfield Lidaho (250/1), Sense The Tension (250/1)

HMS SEAHORSE showed promise when second over C&D 33 days ago despite not being bred for chasing. This useful hurdler who won with first-time blinkers at Clonmel in June looks capable of making a successful transition to fences. Fiveonefive is also useful over timber but will need to jump much better than he did at Roscommon on Tuesday if he's to feature. Chase debutant Mr Escobar completes the shortlist.
