Hees Dynamite²³

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Patrick M O'Brien⁽⁵⁾| T: E McNamara| OR: 100| C

11/4

Course winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this season. 9/2, career best when winning 15-runner handicap chase at Galway (22.5f, soft) 23 days ago, readily. Switches from chase to hurdles and another bold showing may well be on the cards.

25/1

Winner in hurdle at Listowel in September. 7/2, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (20f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Back up in trip now but revised mark demands that little bit more.

Form: 267316

Grace Faraday^h²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Eoghan Finegan⁽⁷⁾| T: A McCann| OR: 94| C| D

8/1

Course winner. Didn't need to improve to win 16-runner handicap hurdle (17/2) at Galway (24f, good to soft) 24 days ago, producing a strong burst to lead dying strides. Wouldn't be sure to be in same form here, though.

Form: F8-8021

Roc My Haarth⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Liam Quinlan| T: R Hackett| OR: 92

9/2

Bit below form 28½ lengths seventh of 14 to Sallap in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (22.8f, soft, 6/1) 47 days ago.

Form: 05330-7

Nettuno Italia¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Shane Markey⁽⁷⁾| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 90| BF

10/3

11/4, creditable fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (24f, soft) 14 days ago, keeping on strongly run-in and finishing with running left. Remains less exposed than most and he's one to bear in mind on the back of that effort.

Form: 0045-54

Milanaway¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: D G Hogan| T: D Hogan| OR: 89

25/1

Remains a maiden after 24 NH runs. Eighth of 11 in novice chase at Thurles (18.3f, good to soft, 22/1) on debut over fences 19 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Significantly back up in trip.

Form: 930-508

Chasing Crowns^p¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Harry Sexton⁽⁷⁾| T: E Sheehy| OR: 87

22/1

80/1, very good third of 20 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (24.3f, good to soft) 18 days ago, just failing. Overall record to date suggests she's not sure to be in the same form here, though.

Form: 880963

Dalmatic¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Carl Millar⁽⁵⁾| T: W J O'Doherty| OR: 85

12/1

Maiden who possibly needed the run after 6 months off when eleventh of 18 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (15.7f, good to soft, 25/1) 19 days ago. Significant step back up in trip rates a plus but others appeal more for win purposes.

Form: 00348-0

Shanroe Act⁶⁵⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Ben Harvey| T: K Thornton| OR: 80

50/1

12/1, last of 16 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (19.8f, heavy). Off 21 months. Up in trip.

Queen Kulina^p1²⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-7| J: Calum Hogan⁽⁷⁾| T: E Griffin| OR: 79

11/2

Good 1¼ lengths fourth of 16 to Grace Faraday in handicap hurdle (8/1) at Galway (24f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Booking of Hogan a plus. Cheekpieces on 1st time and respected from basement mark.

Form: 55/29-54

Cuguilla^t1³³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: Conor Clarke⁽⁷⁾| T: J P Ryan| OR: 78

80/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 28/1, fourth of 6 in novice hurdle at Thurles (22.7f, good to soft) 33 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Makes handicap hurdle debut with work to do.

Form: 6584

Rewrite The Script^h1,t¹⁷¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Shane O'Callaghan⁽⁵⁾| T: M A Daly| OR: 72

11/1

Below form 30½ lengths ninth of 18 to Barryroe Madam in handicap hurdle at Listowel (23.4f, good to firm, 10/1) 171 days ago, never better than midfield. Hood/tongue tie now the headgear of choice.

Forecasts

Hees Dynamite (11/4), Nettuno Italia (10/3), Roc My Haarth (9/2), Sallap (5/1), Queen Kulina (11/2), Barryroe Madam (7/1), Grace Faraday (8/1), Rewrite The Script (11/1), Dalmatic (12/1), Chasing Crowns (22/1), Milanaway (25/1), Tropical Image (25/1), Shanroe Act (50/1), Cuguilla (80/1)

SALLAP has improved since the tongue strap went on, scoring at Clonmel and looking set to follow up prior to falling late in the day at Thurles 33 days ago. She's selected to make amends over the longest trip she's faced. Nettuno Italia caught the eye when fourth at Fairyhouse recently and he's a definite threat, as is Galway chase scorer Hees Dynamite. Barryroe Madam completes the shortlist.
