6/4

air handicapper on Flat (stays 1¼m) for W. McCreery who justified good support to make a winning hurdles/stable debut at Naas (2m) in March. Struggled to land a blow in a stronger over C&D the following month but he comes here fit from Flat and there could yet be more to come in this sphere.

Form: 16-

Tir Og¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Calum Hogan⁽⁷⁾| T: E Seymour| OR: 109

5/2

Won back to back handicaps at Sligo and Downpatrick at the end of the summer. Continued in excellent heart since, second of 12 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (20f, good to soft) 10 days ago. No surprise to see her thereabouts again in present groove.

Hopeful Hero⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Donagh Meyler| T: T Hogan

13/2

In good form of late, including runner-up twice in bumpers last month. Fair form when third sole hurdles start previously and feasible to think he could yet have more to offer back in this sphere.

Form: 5S2322

Our Lucky Lady¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Cian Cullinan⁽⁷⁾| T: P G Fahey| OR: 112

3/1

Mid-field at best in maidens/handicap on Flat but different proposition for switch of codes, building on her promising hurdles debut third when readily landing 9-runner maiden hurdle at Sligo (17.5f) 16 days ago. Further progress on the way on that evidence.

Form: 31

Super Exceed^h⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Danny Mullins| T: T Mullins| C

33/1

Fair Flat winner, making GB/IRE jumps debut. 13/2, thirteenth of 20 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, heavy) 7 days ago. Betting can likely point the way.

Forecasts

Positive Energy (6/4), Tir Og (5/2), Our Lucky Lady (3/1), Hopeful Hero (13/2), Super Exceed (33/1)

OUR LUCKY LADY has been transformed by the switch to hurdling, readily opening her account at Sligo 16 days ago, and she's selected to continue the good work with further progress distinctly possible. Positive Energy may emerge next best, ahead of Tir Og.
