18/1

12/1, good second of 20 in handicap at Galway (16.8f, good to soft) 25 days ago, unlucky not to finish even closer given he was denied a clear run. Major player up 1 lb.

5/1

Winner at Navan in June. Good second of 15 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16.7f, soft, 85/40) 19 days ago. Looks in top form so has to be of major interest back on the level.

Form: 50-3133

3/1

11/2, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Galway (12.4f, good to soft) 25 days ago, finding extra. Yard in good form. On the upgrade recently and this trip may unlock more.

Pinot Gris^t,v1⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Robert Whearty⁽³⁾| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 79

4/1

5/1 and blinkers on for first time in this code, not seen to best effect when twelfth of 25 in handicap at the Curragh (16f, good) 54 days ago, left poorly placed. Visor on 1st time. Shortlist material from a handy-looking mark.

Form: 12/560-0

(6)

Bibe Mus²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Declan McDonogh| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 84

7/1

22/1, first run since leaving Y. Bonnefoy when 4 lengths fifth of 11 to Kilmeaden in handicap at Galway (12.4f, good to soft) on IRE debut 25 days ago, having to pick way through. This will reveal more.

Form: 41-5

(2)

Chutzpal^b²²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: Wayne Hassett⁽³⁾| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 70| CD

6/1

C&D winner and racked up a hat-trick over hurdles last summer. 11/2, respectable third of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) 22 days ago.

Form: 41-7733

Forecasts

Kilmeaden (3/1), Pinot Gris (4/1), Ragmans Corner (5/1), Chutzpal (6/1), Bibe Mus (7/1), Mon Coeur (8/1), Granite Bay (10/1), Mo Ghille Mar (11/1), Comic Book (18/1), Brosna Town (22/1), Autumn Twist (28/1)

Quite a few to consider but RAGMANS CORNER has looked in top form in both codes of late so he's taken to continue the excellent work. Pinot Gris is well weighted in this code compared to his hurdles ability so he's on the shortlist, along with Mon Coeur.
