11/1

Maiden winner at this C&D winner last summer. Without a victory in 19 runs since, below form back over hurdles when fifth of 8 in handicap at Punchestown (16.4f, good to soft, 14/1) 9 days ago, but she's dropped to a handy mark.

Form: 2U-44F5

Romella^p,t¹⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 11-7| J: Phillip Enright| T: Brendan Walsh| OR: 92

16/1

Best effort over fences when runner-up at Clonmel on penultimate start, before going one better back hurdling with a comfortable success in 7-runner handicap at Tipperary (16.4f, soft, 11/2) 18 days ago. Enters calculations.

Form: 9-5P721

Sent hurdling for current yard, placed at this course on second of 3 starts in maidens this season. Back on the level, eleventh of 13 in handicap here (13.5f, good to soft, 5/1) 79 days ago. but she could fare better making handicap hurdle debut.

40/1

Showed more than previously in maiden hurdles when sixth of 10 at Killarney (17f, good to soft, 150/1) 19 days ago, keeping on gradually straight. Could have more to offer now switched to handicap company.

Form: 2P8006

Might Be The One⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Jordan Gainford| T: A McNamara| OR: 85

25/1

Well held in bumper and hasn't made much impact in maiden hurdles, though hinted at ability when eighth of 16 at Galway (16.7f, soft, 150/1) 46 days ago. Open to improvement as she goes handicapping.

Form: 2-0098

Doyen Og^p1¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: C Lamon⁽⁷⁾| T: A Sexton| OR: 81

28/1

Making second handicap start over hurdles, much improved when third at Bellewstown in August. However, not in the same form when 22¾ lengths fourth of 7 to Romella at Tipperary (16.4f, soft, 7/1) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces now reached for.

Form: 00-9P34

6/1

20/1

Remains a maiden over hurdles and form has been mixed of late, following a good run with a below-par one when eighth of 16 in handicap at Roscommon (15.6f, good to soft, 20/1) 25 days ago. Others preferred.

Form: U02048

Shing Shilla^h²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: Harry Sexton⁽⁷⁾| T: A Sexton| OR: 75

7/1

Not straightforward but has been running creditably with a hood fitted last 3 starts, sixth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Gowran (20.2f, soft, 11/) 20 days ago. Others still more persuasive as she looks for a first victory.

Form: 087386

Wild Wild Wind²¹

33/1

Forecasts

Jaadil (5/2), Bowgate Street (9/2), Shannon Bank (9/2), You Make Me Smile (6/1), Shing Shilla (7/1), Andyourbirdcansing (11/1), Romella (16/1), Stormy Jenn (20/1), Lilac Lady (25/1), Might Be The One (25/1), Howayahoney (25/1), Doyen Og (28/1), Wild Wild Wind (33/1), Amburana (40/1)

BOWGATE STREET has bounced back to form on her last 2 starts, left with too much to do reverted to more patient tactics when fifth at Thurles 8 days ago, so she could be ready to make it back-to-back wins in this race. Heading the list of dangers is Jaadil, who is respected now that she's up and running, with Romella completing the shortlist.
