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.

13/2

Found improvement, back from 6 months off, when very good second of 14 in novice hurdle at Wexford (24.4f, good to soft) 38 days ago. Goes handicapping now and may have more to offer yet.

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.

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Dillon Maxwell⁽⁵⁾| T: J P Broderick| OR: 106| D

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

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.
