Bridie's Beau¹⁶¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Kieren Buckley| T: G P Cromwell

28/1

Landed back-to-back big-field handicap hurdles at Punchestown and Gowran in January/February. Some way below that level final 2 starts of last season though, so bounce back called for now attentions switch to chasing following a 5-month break.

More Coko^h⁷⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Danny Mullins| T: W P Mullins

10/3

Bumper/dual hurdles winner who made a promising start in this sphere when fourth of 9 in a C&D maiden in July, losing third late on. Likely he can build on that now.

Form: 1112F-4

Ol Man Dingle¹⁹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Ricky Doyle| T: E Griffin

7/4

6-y-o who finished runner-up sole start in points and developed into a useful hurdler last season, winning 3 times. Possible he found stamina stretched when fifth of 6 in novice hurdle (13/2) at Navan (22.7f, soft) on final start in March and he's of interest now switched to larger obstacles.

Road To Home¹⁶⁸

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

12/1

Successful on sole outing in bumpers for Eugene M. O'Sullivan and confirmed previous hurdles promise for new yard when easily winning 9-runner Hexham maiden (16.2f) in March. Jumping let him down on handicap debut at Fairyhouse (23f) a month later and market best guide now chasing.

Form: P/1R31F-

Will The Wise¹⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 130

7/4

Useful hurdler who is seemingly being brought along gradually over fences, taking a step forward when second of 3 in novice chase (15/8) at Killarney (23f, good to soft) in May. Type to do better again, particularly in handicaps.

Form: 31165-2

Crescent Moon¹⁷⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Sean Flanagan| T: G P Cromwell

14/1

Fairly useful hurdler. Winner at Fairyhouse (20f) in April. 11/2, below form fifth of 15 in handicap hurdle back at that venue (20f, soft) 170 days ago. Makes chase debut.

Forecasts

Ol Man Dingle (7/4), Will The Wise (7/4), More Coko (10/3), Road To Home (12/1), Crescent Moon (14/1), Bridie's Beau (28/1)

OL MAN DINGLE developed into a useful hurdler with a tongue tie fitted last season, winning 3 times and, runner-up on his sole start in points earlier in his career, there appears no reason why he won't make an impact now his attentions switch to the larger obstacles. More Coko may emerge best of the Willie Mullins' trained-pair and rates the chief danger.
