14/1

Ran second of 9 in chase handicap at Kilbeggan in June but struggled when 15th of 16 in hurdle handicap at this course (10/1) 14 days ago after going off too hard. Others more reliable.

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: John Shinnick⁽³⁾| T: T O'Brien| OR: 90

9/1

Had shown decent form in handicap hurdles with placed efforts before unseating rider in 18-runner contest at Limerick (15/2) 165 days ago. Hood back on may help and has gone well fresh previously.

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Liam Quinlan| T: R Hackett| OR: 89

11/4

Maiden finished third of 16 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (18/1) 14 days ago, getting back on track. Low mileage and claims if building on that.

Form: 0687-P3

Klassman^p,t³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Donagh Meyler| T: S Nolan| OR: 89

8/1

Long-standing maiden who was 2nd (beaten head) in handicap hurdle at Limerick 88 days ago but finished 10th of 15 at this C&D (12/1) 34 days ago. Possibly has gone off the boil, cheekpieces back on and they need to spark a revival.

Form: U3P-2P0

Ponderosa Lady¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Shane Fitzgerald| T: G Keane| OR: 88

22/1

Showed first form when seventh of 14 in maiden hurdle at Tramore (21f) 10 days ago, doing best work late. Handicap debut but may want even further than this.

Form: 997

Tedworth^p²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Cian Quirke| T: Michael Barry| OR: 88

12/1

Without a win in 10 starts over hurdles but ran one of this season's better races to finish seventh of 18 in handicap hurdle at Cork (16/1) 21 days ago in one of his better efforts. May appreciate this step back up in trip.

Form: 0575U7

Western Opera^t³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: Aidan Kelly⁽³⁾| T: G O'Loughlin| OR: 82

6/1

Has been inconsistent over hurdles before finishing second of 16 in handicap at this C&D (40/1) 34 days ago, settling better and making good progress after 2 out. Could build on that improved effort back at same track and trip.

Form: 94P-002

Georginas Jet²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Miss J Townend| T: P J Gilligan| OR: 84

3/1

In good form in recent handicap hurdles. Third of 10 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick and ran creditably when third over a longer trip (20.2f) at Killarney on Saturday. Up again in trip and may give another good account if coping with the quick turnaround.

Form: R70733

Damoso^p,t¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Simon Torrens| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 80

9/1

Lightly-raced 4yo who showed more than previously on handicap debut in first-time headgear (retained) when seventh of 16 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (40/1) 14 days ago, making late gains from an impossible position. Open to further improvement.

Form: 0007

Rockon Henry³⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 10-1| J: Shane O'Callaghan⁽⁵⁾| T: F Feeney| OR: 75

20/1

Off 21 months prior to finishing ninth of 15 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (66/1) 34 days ago, struggling from early in the final circuit. Needs to leave that run well behind.

Anysignofhim (11/4), Georginas Jet (3/1), Western Opera (6/1), Klassman (8/1), St Anthonys Corner (8/1), Bigira (8/1), Damoso (9/1), Dream Once More (9/1), Tedworth (12/1), Kilashee (14/1), Rockon Henry (20/1), Ponderosa Lady (22/1), Van Demon (50/1)

GEORGINAS JET has been in good form in recent handicap hurdles, running a creditable third at Killarney on Saturday and she could go well again upped in trip if coping with the quick turnaround. St Anthonys Corner should appreciate this return to a staying distance after failing to meet market expectations over shorter last time. Dream Once More returns with the hood back on and has gone well fresh previously.
