Bright Legend³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Danny Mullins| T: D Hogan| OR: 119

10/1

Fairly useful on Flat/over hurdles but seemingly being brought along gradually in this sphere, fourth of 7 in novice chase (8/1) at Killarney (17f, good to soft) 33 days ago. Back up in trip now but handicaps could be more his bag.

Form: 342P-64

Hitak⁵³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Paddy Hanlon⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Hanlon

20/1

Multiple point winner who surpassed his previous hurdle exploits when scoring on handicap debut at Cork (24.7f) back in March. However, off 5 months prior to being pulled up in handicap hurdle at Galway (24.3f) 53 days ago, Bounce back needed returned to larger obstacles.

Form: P2651-P

Luckinthecity^t⁵⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Brian Hayes| T: W P Mullins| C

16/1

Fairly useful winner at 3m over hurdles who has been let down by his jumping in a couple of tries over fences to date, tongue tied for 1st time when unseating 4 out in maiden chase at Galway (22.5f) 55 days ago. Surprise where he not capable of better given connections.

Form: 11FP-3U

Mossy Fen Park²⁸⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead

11/4

Quickly developed into a useful hurdler and made a promising start over fences last winter, good third behind a subsequent Grade 3 winner at Punchestown when last seen in December. Remains with potential back from a break and he's well worthy of consideration.

Oscars Brother¹⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Daniel King| T: Connor King

13/8

Useful winner at 3m over hurdles and bright start in this sphere when second of 15 in novice chase at Tipperary (23.5f, good to soft, 13/2) back in May. Open to improvement back from 5 months off and he's one to consider.

Form: 2313F-2

Prophet's Corner¹⁵⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: John Shinnick⁽³⁾| T: Sean Allen

25/1

Fairly useful hurdler. Winner in hurdle at Punchestown in February. 9/1, fifteenth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Cork (24.4f, soft) 158 days ago. Makes chase debut.

Uncle Pat⁵⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| CD

5/2

Fairly useful winner at 22f over hurdles. Good second on return/chase debut at Roscommon (25.1f) in June but found his jumping letting him down when eighth of 16 in novice chase (4/1) at Galway (22.5f, good to soft) 55 days ago. Certainly too soon to be writing him off, however.

Form: 4531-28

Princess Georgie⁷³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Dylan Kidd⁽⁷⁾| T: G B Caldwell

250/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, pulled up in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (21.8f, good to firm, 40/1) 73 days ago. Makes chase debut. Looks limited.

Forecasts

Oscars Brother (13/8), Uncle Pat (5/2), Mossy Fen Park (11/4), Sandor Clegane (5/1), Beaufort Scale (8/1), Bright Legend (10/1), Luckinthecity (16/1), Hitak (20/1), Prophet's Corner (25/1), Princess Georgie (250/1)

Hurdles winner MOSSY FEN PARK made a bright start to his chasing career when placed behind subsequent graded winners last winter and, very much appealing as the type to do better again this campaign, he looks to hold sound claims back from 9 months off. Oscars Brother, Uncle Pat and Sandor Clegane are a trio of dangers.
