Cobra Queen⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 120| D

7/2

4/1, career best when winning 8-runner minor event chase at Tramore (22f, good) 43 days ago. Mark for her handicap debut in this sphere is a fair one and she could have more to offer over fences.

Form: 400-321

Sea Aster^p²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR: 116

10/1

Form: 81U436

Nt Field Minnesota^t⁵⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| OR: 111| D

8/1

Unreliable individual. Pulled up in handicap chase at Wexford (25.3f, good to soft, 10/1) 54 days ago, tailed off when pulled up 2 out. Always dangerous to discount one from the Willie Mullins yard, but she needs to bounce back in a significant way.

Form: 1PP-30P

Killinure Lass^p³³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Jordan Gainford| T: J P Dempsey| OR: 108| D

11/1

Latest win in chase at Tramore in May. Below form eighth of 13 in handicap hurdle (11/2) at Bellewstown (20.5f, good) 33 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Must improve.

Form: 7-31448

Ashdale Flyer^p³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Donagh Meyler| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 105

12/1

Winner at Wexford in August. Ninth of 11 in handicap chase at the same course (19.4f, good, 11/1) 31 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Kilashee⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Michael Kenneally⁽⁷⁾| T: J P Ryan| OR: 90| CD

17/2

Forecasts

Betty Dutton (5/2), Cobra Queen (7/2), Howya Luveen (6/1), Nt Field Minnesota (8/1), Kilashee (17/2), Sea Aster (10/1), Killinure Lass (11/1), Juniper Hill (12/1), Ashdale Flyer (12/1)

COBRA QUEEN produced a good round of jumping when making it third time lucky over fences upped to 2¾m at Tramore last month and, with the best surely yet to come from her in this sphere, she is taken to follow up. Betty Dutton got no further than the first fence recently at Downpatrick, but she had jumped pretty well when runner-up twice during the summer and this 7-y-o will be a big threat granted a clear round here. Sea Aster is best of the rest.
