Ad Caelum¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Danny Mullins| T: J P Ryan

25/1

Fairly useful hurdler. Latest win at Ballinrobe (26f) in August. Seventh of 9 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (22f, soft, 11/2) 19 days ago. Makes chase debut. Back down in trip.

Form: 6U2417

Costanuci⁴⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Brian Hayes| T: J Queally| OR: 110

22/1

3-time winner over hurdles (fairly useful form) and similar merit in this sphere, good third returning from 11 months off at Tipperary (19.7f) in July. Has gone the wrong way from that last 2 starts though and bounce back now called for.

Form: 233-34P

Jalila Moriviere^t¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| BF| D

30/100

Low-mileage mare who opened her account over hurdles at Limerick (16.2f) in March. Performed with credit all 3 starts since, third of 5 in minor event hurdle at Listowel (20f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Very much the one to beat now attentions switch to larger obstacles.

Form: 2414-63

Redwood Queen⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Eoin Staples⁽⁷⁾| T: C Collins| C| D

7/1

Multiple hurdles winner but on a losing run and her finishing effort left plenty to be desired when eighth of 10 in handicap hurdle (6/1) at Listowel (20f, good to soft) 4 days ago, folding tamely. Needs to quickly shrug that off switched to the larger obstacles for the first time.

Form: 1-5U628

True Testimony¹⁵¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Keith Donoghue| T: Ian Donoghue| OR: 124

6/1

6-y-o mare who showed fairly useful form when second of 11 in listed handicap chase at Fairyhouse (21f) in April. Excuses when midfield in Pat Taaffe handicap chase when last seen in May and better can be expected back from a break starting out for new yard. Down in trip.

Forecasts

Jalila Moriviere (30/100), True Testimony (6/1), Redwood Queen (7/1), Jane Eire (10/1), Costanuci (22/1), Ad Caelum (25/1)

Low-mileage mare JALILA MORIVIERE has displayed useful form over hurdles and Willie Mullins' 6-y-o looks to hold standout claims now her attentions switch to larger obstacles for the first time. The returning True Testimony and Jane Eire, another chase debutante can emerge as the principal dangers.
