Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: John Shinnick⁽³⁾| T: Michael Barry| OR: 107| D

25/1

Won a handicap hurdle at Punchestown in February but disappointed finishing seventh of 9 at Cork (9/1) 200 days ago when beaten a long way out under less testing conditions. Likely better under softer conditions and may need this run.

Cullig^h,t¹⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Simon Torrens| T: P T Foley| OR: 104

10/1

Won a handicap hurdle at Cork in March before two runner-up finishes, then pulled up in 13-runner handicap hurdle at Wexford (6/1) 142 days ago after not jumping fluently. Has shown she can be competitive in similar handicap hurdles if bouncing back.

Time In A Bottle^h,t⁵³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr J H Williamson⁽⁷⁾| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 102

15/8

Three second-place finishes in novice/maiden hurdles, including last two starts. Finished 2nd of 3 at Tramore (9/4) 53 days ago, running as well as ever. Low mileage and worth another go over this sort of trip. Looks a potential improver on handicap debut.

Form: 324-422

Jetaway Nana¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Eoin Staples⁽⁷⁾| T: C Collins| OR: 100| D

5/1

Won maiden hurdle at Wexford 38 days ago prior to being brought down 3 out in 16-runner handicap hurdle at Listowel (17/2) 10 days ago when running creditably. Likely suited by this 23f trip and no surprise to see her in the mix on second start in handicaps.

Form: 32541B

Flidais⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Michael Kenneally⁽⁷⁾| T: J P Ryan| OR: 96

9/2

Promise when third at Ballinrobe but not in the same form latest, finished fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (11/2) 4 days ago making headway after 3 out but no further impression. Now on a career low mark and has run creditably over this sort of trip previously.

Form: 8-66834

Mickey Cohen¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Donagh Meyler| T: N Meade| OR: 100

11/4

Ran creditably when third in Bellewstown hurdle. Travelled well and won on chase debut at Downpatrick (9/4) 17 days ago, jumping soundly bar last. Could go well off a lower mark back over hurdles.

Form: 3-63431

Back The West²⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Daniel King| T: I Madden| OR: 72

12/1

Confirmed some ability remains, finished seventh of 19 in handicap hurdle at Galway (22/1) 28 days ago, making headway after 4 out before meeting traffic issues and plugging on from the rear. Will need to build on that performance.

Forecasts

Time In A Bottle (15/8), Mickey Cohen (11/4), Flidais (9/2), Jetaway Nana (5/1), Cullig (10/1), Corbally Cross (10/1), Back The West (12/1), Hard Target (12/1), Lucky Viv (25/1), Ellaat (25/1)

A competitive handicap but the promising TIME IN A BOTTLE could be the one to beat now tackling a longer trip on her handicap debut. Wexford winner Corbally Cross is dangerous, while Mickey Cohen arrives in good form after winning on his chase debut and could go well off a 7 lb lower hurdles mark.
