I'll Be Handy^p1¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-10| J: James Smith| T: M J Smith

80/1

Fair Flat maiden who has made a positive start in this sphere, second of 6 in juvenile hurdle at Punchestown (15.8f, heavy) 17 days ago. Cheekpieces go on now and needs considering.

Form: 522

Narciso Has²²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 10-10| J: Mark Walsh| T: W P Mullins

5/4

Promising ex-French recruit who bagged novice hurdle at Auteuil (14.9f, soft, 84/10) 7 months ago for Marcel Rolland. This son of Doctor Dino is a most interesting prospect for top yard.

Wizard Of Odds²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-10| J: Philip Byrnes| T: W Durkan| D

9/1

Cork juvenile winner before advancing his form when second of 5 to Mange Tout in juvenile hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, good to soft, 5/1) 29 days ago. Open to further progress.

Form: 12

Mange Tout^h1²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| D

11/8

A half-sister to Grade 1 winning hurdler/chaser Impaire Et Passe who made a winning start in juvenile hurdle at Compiegne in May and followed up on her stable debut at Down Royal (2m1f) earlier in the month despite going keenly. Hood goes back on now and she remains with lots of potential. Player.

Form: 11

Adrienne²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 10-3| J: Shane O'Callaghan| T: T M Walsh| CD

16/1

Built on hurdling debut promise to land 14-runner juvenile over C&D (soft, 6/4) 26 days ago by 4½ lengths from I'll Be Handy, travelling strongly. This demands more but she shouldn't be underestimated.

Form: 31

In My Teens^h¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-3| J: Conor Stone-Walsh| T: G P Cromwell

11/1

Useful and progressive winning daughter of Camelot on the level. Easy to back and very much caught the eye on her hurdling bow when fourth of 6 in juvenile at Punchestown (15.8f, heavy) 17 days ago, running on really well late on. Capable of considerably better. Big shout.

Narciso Has (5/4), Mange Tout (11/8), Wizard Of Odds (9/1), In My Teens (11/1), Adrienne (16/1), I'll Be Handy (80/1), Thilos (100/1)

Gavin Cromwell's useful Flat winner IN MY TEENS is taken to build on her highly promising hurdling debut fourth at Punchestown and get off the mark in this sphere. Willie Mullins saddles an interesting French recruit in the shape of Narciso Has and he rates a big threat though, while recent Down Royal 1-2 Mange Tout and Wizard of Odds can both have a say too in this fascinating Grade 3.
