Fascile Mode^p⁶⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Danny Mullins| T: T Mullins| OR: 133

9/2

Useful chaser. 33/1, good second of 19 in handicap hurdle at Galway (22.5f, good to soft) 60 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase and work to do with a couple on these terms.

Form: 6PF9-72

Jesse Evans^t⁶³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Donagh Meyler| T: N Meade| OR: 151

10/11

Smart chaser. Seven wins from 26 NH runs. 2 wins from 5 runs this season. 9/1, very good second of 22 in Galway Plate (22.5f, good to soft) 63 days ago. Holds outstanding claims on these terms and he should prove very hard to beat.

Form: 33-3112

Riaan^p⁶¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Danny Gilligan| T: G Elliott| OR: 132

18/1

Useful hurdler/chaser who ran well when runner-up in Group 3 company at Punchestown (20.4f) in April. Jumping let him down next 2 starts and worrying how quickly he folded when fifteenth of 20 in handicap chase at Galway (22.5f, good to soft) 61 days ago. Passed over.

Form: 462-UP0

Huntsgrove²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Sexton⁽⁷⁾| T: J P Ryan| C

50/1

Fair hurdler who shed maiden tag over 20f here in May. Form up and down in that sphere thereafter and he never threatened in face of stiff task when sixth of 8 in maiden chase at Kilbeggan (20.4f) 26 days ago. This looks another tough assignment.

Form: 134386

A Penny A Hundred¹²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| OR: 132| C

2/1

Useful chaser. 11/1, creditable third of 15 in Mayo National at Ballinrobe (23.3f, good) 128 days ago, finishing with running left. Booking of Townend a plus and definite claims of being in the mix.

Form: P4432-3

Forecasts

Jesse Evans (10/11), A Penny A Hundred (2/1), Fascile Mode (9/2), Riaan (18/1), Huntsgrove (50/1)

A Grade 3 winner over hurdles on his penultimate start, JESSE EVANS ran another cracker when runner-up in the Galway Plate in July and he firmly looks the one to beat on these most favourable terms. A Penny A Hundred can emerge as the chief danger.
