Quinn The Eskimo^t⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Conor Stone-Walsh| T: P Nolan| OR: 100

8/1

Winner of a 19-runner handicap hurdle at Down Royal in May. Bettered hurdles form when 14/1, fourth of 11 in novice chase at Thurles (18.3f, good to soft) on debut over fences 46 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Could take another step forward on handicap chase debut.

Form: 4-10964

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: S Crawley| OR: 99| D

9/1

Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/very smart chaser Big Fella Thanks. Ran well on reappearance last season when creditable third at Limerick (20f, soft) but no show in first-time tongue strap (removed) last time. Betting should guide on reappearance/chase debut.

Lady Rose Hackett⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 96

5/1

On a fair mark based on form in maiden hurdles last season. Hasn't built on promising start over fences, below form eighth of 18 in handicap chase at Thurles (21.4f, good to soft, 15/2) 46 days ago. Worth another chance back down in trip.

Love Like This¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Michael Kenneally⁽⁷⁾| T: J P Ryan| OR: 88

8/1

Longstanding maiden took a step back in the right direction back over fences for the first time this season, sixth of 12 in handicap chase at Clonmel (18.3f, heavy, 18/1) 13 days ago. Place claims if building on that.

Age: 10| Weight: 11-1| J: Paddy Cody⁽⁷⁾| T: E Doyle| OR: 87| D

12/1

Ran well over fences when second at Killarney last year but hasn't stood much racing and offered little after another 18 months off when 16/1, twelfth of 15 in handicap chase at Thurles (18.3f, good to soft) 25 days ago.

Form: 003/25-0

Another Challenge⁷³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Phillip Enright| T: O McKiernan| OR: 84

5/1

Showed first form when fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Navan (19f, good to soft) but failed to back that up last time. Needs to bounce back but pedigree offers some hope now sent chasing.

Form: 700U-49

Atlantic Wonder²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: Mr J Costello⁽⁷⁾| T: A J Martin| OR: 82

28/1

8-y-o who looked rusty returning from 26 months off when pulled up in maiden chase at Tramore (21.4f, soft, 125/1) on debut over fences 20 days ago, struggling when not fluent again 4 out. Makes handicap chase debut with bit to prove.

Form: 07020/P

Ballinaboola Jet¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: R Deegan| T: R Donohoe| OR: 82

9/2

Backed up Wexford third at second attempt when winning 16-runner handicap hurdle at Clonmel (19.4f, heavy, 8/1) 13 days ago. Bit more on his plate now sent chasing but will handle testing conditions.

Form: P97301

Duce Bigalow²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: J J Slevin| T: S Neville| OR: 79

11/2

Placed in points but didn't better poor hurdle form when fifth of 8 in novice chase at Tramore (21.4f, soft, 12/1) on debut over fences 20 days ago. Down in trip and needs to do more on handicap chase debut.

Form: 8070-P5

Dontdooddson¹³

Age: 12| Weight: 10-0| J: Gavin Brouder| T: D Collins| OR: 72

15/2

Veteran who was supported when well held fifth latest start over fences in May. Won over hurdles at Wexford in July and finished creditable fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Clonmel (16.5f, heavy) 13 days ago. Remains to be seen if he can build on that back over fences.

Forecasts

Ballinaboola Jet (9/2), Another Challenge (5/1), Lady Rose Hackett (5/1), Duce Bigalow (11/2), Baltinglass Hill (11/2), Dontdooddson (15/2), Love Like This (8/1), Quinn The Eskimo (8/1), The Big Cloud (9/1), Listenheretomejack (12/1), Atlantic Wonder (28/1)

LADY ROSE HACKETT is still fairly treated on the best of her hurdles form and looks worth another chance over fences. Quinn The Eskimo could be the danger is building on his chase debut fourth, while Baltinglass Hill should remain competitive if coping with softer conditions.
