Foxy Girl^h⁸⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 123

9/2

Fairly useful hurdler who posted best effort over larger obstacles when runner-up at Naas (20.1f) in March. Not been in quite same form since but hails from a yard going well.

Form: 90/424-3

A Wave Of The Sea¹⁵

7/2

Well supported when returning to winning ways in 8-runner handicap chase (7/2) at this course (20f, good to soft) 15 days ago. 8 lb higher now but that may not be enough to prevent the follow up.

Form: 0233-91

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Sean Flanagan| T: B Connell| OR: 120| C| D

85/40

Back from 3 months off when solid fourth over hurdles at this course in May and shaped as if still in good form when respectable fourth of 15 in handicap chase at Roscommon (25.1f, good to soft, 6/1) the following month. Respected.

Form: 9153-34

My Gaffer²²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Danny Mullins| T: J P Ryan| OR: 117| D

13/2

Latest win in hurdle at Killarney in May. Fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle (15/2) at Killarney (22.8f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Others preferred.

That's About Right^p³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Simon Torrens| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 117| D

25/1

Five wins from 11 runs last season. Latest win in chase at Thurles in January. Eighth of 10 in handicap chase at Wexford (19.5f, good to soft, 16/1) 36 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 73121-8

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR: 116

13/2

13/2, ninth of 11 in handicap chase at this course (20.2f, good) 54 days ago. Booking of Kennedy a plus. Not out of things.

Form: 3075-29

Forecasts

Slane Hill (85/40), A Wave Of The Sea (7/2), Foxy Girl (9/2), My Gaffer (13/2), Big Stage (13/2), Clonshire River (11/1), Tullybeg (16/1), That's About Right (25/1)

Recent course winner A WAVE OF THE SEA is still well in on old form and can score again. Slane Hill and Foxy Girl may provide the chief threat.
