33/1

Twelfth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (24.5f, good, 33/1) 37 days ago, doing too much too soon. Work to do.

Brilliant Light^p²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Flanagan| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 106

14/1

Posted best effort for some time, in first-time cheekpieces, when good third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (25.7f, good) 29 days ago. Races off same mark here and another bold bid seems assured.

7/1

Latest win in chase at Cork in November. Fell in handicap chase at Punchestown (27f, soft, 80/1) 172 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Others more appealing.

Form: 8281PF-

Driscolls Hill²⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: T Gibney| OR: 102

14/1

150/1, seventh of 13 in novice chase at Fairyhouse (21.5f, good). Off 8 months. Switches from chase to hurdles. Up in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Has good chance on pick of form.

Form: 622/907-

Ladiam^t²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-3| J: Gary Noonan⁽⁵⁾| T: N Lee| OR: 97

8/1

Latest win in hurdle at Sligo in June. Creditable sixth of 16 in handicap hurdle (4/1) at Sligo (19.9f, good) 29 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Each-way claims.

Forecasts

Dorans Law (10/3), Jolie Jewel (7/2), Ad Caelum (13/2), Coumeenoole (13/2), Sphagnum (7/1), Ladiam (8/1), The Little Yank (10/1), Arch Enemy (12/1), Brilliant Light (14/1), Driscolls Hill (14/1), Coral River (14/1), Beau Walking (22/1), Whatsavailable (33/1)

Last year's winner DORANS LAW was successful in a chase at Wexford last time and looks fairly treated in his bid for a repeat success here. He makes fair appeal. Brilliant Light and Coumeenoole head the list of dangers.
