Off time: 17:02 | Winning time: 6m 16.2s

Hardy Diamond^p¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR: 110

12/1

Latest win in chase at Kilbeggan in August. Proved a let-down when well-beaten seventh of 8 in handicap chase (5/1) at Perth (23.8f, good) 11 days ago. Every chance she will bounce back.

Form: 0-29217

Jumping Susie^p1,t¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Alex Harvey⁽³⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 110| BF

8/1

Ran well when third of 8 in handicap chase at Perth (23.8f, good, 3/1) 11 days ago, unable to sustain effort having made early mistakes. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not taken lightly if brushing up her jumping.

Form: 58-4453

Ossifer Hops^b²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Sam Ewing| T: G Elliott| OR: 108| C

12/1

12/1 and blinkered for 1st time, turned in another lacklustre display when sixth of 9 in handicap hurdle at this course (21.8f, good) 25 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Makes handicap chase debut.

Form: 526P-P6

Solly Attwell^p¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Jordan Gainford| T: C Collins| OR: 105| D

12/1

Fair 3m winning hurdler who returned to form from out of the blue to take advantage of his reduced mark in 13-runner handicap chase (18/1) at Galway (22.5f, soft) 11 days ago, staying on to lead over 1f out. Consistency hasn't been his strong suit of late, however.

Form: B30-8P1

Portarlington^v,t²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr J P Sutton⁽⁷⁾| T: Ian Donoghue| OR: 103| C

12/1

Fair winner at 22f over hurdles. 5/1 and visored for 1st time, well-beaten fifth of 9 in handicap chase at this course (17.8f, good) 25 days ago. Significantly up in trip.

Form: 8-65105

Tell Nobody Nothin^p¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Donagh Meyler| T: N Meade| OR: 102| C

13/2

Fair winner at 18f over hurdles. 8/1, got back on track reverted to fences when 3¼ lengths fourth of 13 to Solly Attwell in handicap at Galway (22.5f, soft) 11 days ago. Isn't sure to be in the same form here though.

Form: U2-4904

Betty Dutton⁶⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Phillip Enright| T: A Slattery| OR: 100| BF

9/4

Evens, creditable second of 9 in minor event chase at this course (23.7f, good to firm) 10 weeks ago, clear of rest. Makes handicap chase debut and every chance she can go one better.

Form: 53-4422

Le Grand Vert^p,t²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Simon Torrens| T: N C Kelly| OR: 100| D

10/1

Latest win in chase at Ayr in March. 20/1, gave his all quickly back over fences when third of 16 in handicap at Wexford (25f, good) 3 weeks ago, the effort of trying to follow the all-the-way winner seeming to take its toll close home. Others more appealing.

Form: 331-683

Midnight Moonshine⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Ben Harvey| T: William Harvey| OR: 100| D

8/1

Winner in hurdle at Kilbeggan in July. Ran poorly tried in cheekpieces for his first stab at a handicap hurdle at Galway (24.3f, soft) 7 weeks ago. Back over fences and needs to step up on previous efforts.

Form: 52521P

Eagle Terrace^b,t⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: Conor Stone-Walsh| T: N C Kelly| OR: 90

33/1

10/1, tailed-off eighth of 13 in handicap chase at Ballinrobe (23f, soft) 7 days ago, losing his place through mistakes 5 and 4 out. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 657-808

Tango Theatre^v,t³⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 10-4| J: D A Kidd⁽⁷⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 88| D

5/1

Dominated after poaching 5-6 lengths at the off in 12-runner handicap hurdle at Sligo (25.5f, good, 4/1) 30 days ago, unchallenged. No impact on previous 2 starts over fences back in 2022 but she's worth another go in this sphere.

Form: 0/70-221

Forecasts

Betty Dutton (9/4), Tango Theatre (5/1), Tell Nobody Nothin (13/2), Midnight Moonshine (8/1), Jumping Susie (8/1), Le Grand Vert (10/1), Solly Attwell (12/1), Ossifer Hops (12/1), Portarlington (12/1), Hardy Diamond (12/1), Broomfield Present (20/1), Flash Collonges (25/1), Jimli's Cave (25/1), Eagle Terrace (33/1)

Plenty in with a squeak but BETTY DUTTON is firmly knocking at the door in this sphere and now in the care of Andrew Slattery, she's fancied to make a winning handicap chase debut. Her main threat may emerge from Tango Theatre, who bolted up over hurdles at Sligo recently and reverts to fences from the same mark (first time since 2022). Solly Attwell rounds off the shortlist.
