10/1

Winless since landing back-to-back novice hurdles in 2023 but offered a bit more at Newton Abbot last 2 starts. Not an obvious chasing type.

6/1

Had the race sewn-up when falling 2 out at Newton Abbot in May and gained quick compensation when making all back there following month. Decent third there since and he remains of interest.

McGregors Charge²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Ben Godfrey| T: Ella Pickard| OR: 85

3/1

Proved pretty consistent at a lowly level since switched to chasing and, helped by the favourite's weak finish, opened his account under a positive ride at Perth 3 weeks ago. Respected up 6 lb.

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Benjamin Poste| T: M Young| OR: 78

Form: 3-52352

Mini Fortune^p⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: G Sheehan| T: T Faulkner| OR: 71

Forecasts

McGregors Charge (3/1), Gone In Sixty (7/2), Radharc Na Slaine (9/2), Mini Fortune (6/1), Limerick Leader (6/1), Illogical Logic (6/1), Songo (10/1), Boys Of Wexford (14/1), Bahtiyar (25/1), Jaunty Viking (40/1)

ILLOGICAL LOGIC is going through a good spell at the moment and he remains of interest. Mcgregors Charge could be the main danger, ahead of Radharc Na Slaine.
