9/2

Impressive Fred Winter winner last season and got back on track when runner-up behind Last Kingdom in a listed handicap at Listowel in September. Turned out quickly and landed a gamble in the Irish Cesarewitch next time. Merits plenty of respect back over hurdles under good-value conditional.

Form: 213-602

Last Kingdom^p⁶⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Mark Walsh| T: W P Mullins| OR: 137| CD

11/1

Resumed progress to make it two wins from 4 starts in handicaps, given a more positive ride in first-time cheekpieces when getting the better of Puturhandstogether at Listowel last time. Should give another good account with headgear retained.

Form: 71-2271

Path D'oroux^p,t²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 137| D

33/1

Useful/hurdler chaser finished a fine second in a valuable handicap chase here at the start of the year and has posted plenty of creditable efforts without getting his head in front since. Races off 5 lb lower back over hurdles but yard having a quiet spell by their high standards.

Form: 3204P-3

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Eoin Walsh| T: Ciaran Murphy| OR: 134| CD

33/1

Latest win came here in a Grade 2 as a novice for Gavin Cromwell. Highly tried over jumps and on Flat for new connections and will need to improve for a first-time visor back in a competitive handicap hurdle.

Form: 2/35P06-

Bowensonfire^h³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR: 129| D

7/2

Twice a winner over hurdles in early summer and is holding his form well, coming from further back than the pair that beat him when third in a 20-runner handicap at Cheltenham (19.9f, good) last month. That was just about a career-best and no surprise to see him the mix back down in distance.

Form: 1U4333

Ataboycharlie³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Philip Byrnes| T: E Cawley| OR: 127| D

4/1

Has gone well on his last 2 starts over hurdles, chasing home a useful sort over 2m at Punchestown last year and showing plenty of that ability when third in a competitive handicap at Galway (21.9f) on reappearance. Player if he can build on that back over 2m.

Form: 72/575-3

Teed Up^t⁴²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Donagh Meyler| T: E Mullins| OR: 126| D

22/1

Won on the Flat 3 days before a remarkable effort to finish fourth in a listed handicap (not the strongest race for the grade) at Galway (22.4f) in August. Ran well at big odds to finish third on the Flat last month and he's one to note for shrewd yard back in a valuable handicap hurdle.

Form: 0211/0-4

Slurricane³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Danny Gilligan| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 125| D

9/1

Fifth in the Fred Winter at Cheltenham (good to soft) but was set way too much to do behind Last Kingdom on latest hurdle start. Relished testing conditions when successful on the Flat at Galway last month (all previous wins on soft/heavy) and he's entitled to be competitive back over hurdles.

Form: 23215-7

Zillow^t⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| OR: 125| D

7/2

Showed much improved form on second start in a handicap hurdle when winning over this trip at Kilbeggan in September (justifying support) and bettered previous Flat form when successful on the level at Dundalk last time. Unexposed as a handicap hurdler and looks to be improving for top yard.

Form: 54370-1

Luker's Tipple^b1¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Conor Stone-Walsh| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 118

10/1

Often flatters to deceive but arrives in good form, caught too far back when sixth behind Last Kingdom on stable debut and has since placed in three consecutive races with sights lowered. This is a stronger race than he need contest but first-time blinkers may help this quirky sort.

Form: 226223

Forecasts

Zillow (7/2), Bowensonfire (7/2), Ataboycharlie (4/1), Puturhandstogether (9/2), Slurricane (9/1), Luker's Tipple (10/1), Last Kingdom (11/1), Teed Up (22/1), Wendrock (25/1), Path D'oroux (33/1), Bottler'secret (33/1)

An open-look to this valuable handicap and the answer could be the improving ZILLOW, who makes plenty of appeal in his bid for a cross-code hat-trick. Ataboycharlie could have more to offer, while Bowensonfire is holding his form well following a summer campaign and ought to be in the mix again.
