7/2
Won chase at Thurles earlier in the season and bounced back to form to get off the mark over hurdles when winning 16-runner handicap at Naas (16f, heavy) 12 days ago, travelled well. Versatile sort should give another good account off 7 lb higher.

Fairly useful maiden hurdler. Below form in handicaps last season and no show on the Flat more recently. Has form at this track but only considered if supported.

Bounced back to his best to get off the mark when winning 13-runner handicap hurdle (13/2) at Thurles (16f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Should remain competitive despite 7 lb rise.

Runner-up in bumper and ran best race over hurdles when fifth at Listowel in September. Not in same form when ninth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (17f, good to soft, 11/2) 83 days ago. Place claims if bouncing back.

Third in a mares' maiden over C&D earlier in the year but yet to build on that, including on reappearance when 23¾ lengths thirteenth of 16 to River Vale in handicap hurdle (66/1) at Naas (16f, heavy) 12 days ago. Needs to leave recent form behind.

Has shown promise to hit the frame in both starts in handicap hurdles this season, latterly when fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (19.4f, heavy) 25 days ago. One to consider with tongue strap on first time.

Flat-bred 3-y-o showed clear promise when fourth on penultimate start in a Gowran maiden and has likely been campaigned with handicaps in mind. In excellent hands and improvement expected on handicap bow.

Showed first sign of ability, despite looking unsuited by the drop in trip when sixth of 14 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (16.5f, heavy, 125/1) 25 days ago. No surprise to see him build on that now handicapping.

Modest maiden on Flat. Showed improved form stepped back up in trip when fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (19.4f, heavy, 9/1) 25 days ago, not for the first time showing an awkward head carriage. Claims if he can back that up returning to 2m.

7/4
In the process of running well before unseated rider in handicap hurdle at Thurles last month but unable to justify support when sixth of 24 in handicap hurdle at Cork (20f, soft) 20 days ago, finding less than looked likely. One to note if money comes again dropping back in trip.

Juvenile has yet to build on promise of hurdling debut, faced with more testing conditions than previously on handicap bow when sixth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (15.8f, heavy, 25/1) 44 days ago. Still relatively early days but may need bit more respite from handicapper.

Fared no better on second handicap start following further 7 months off, pulled up at Fairyhouse (20.2f, soft) 14 days ago. Remains to be seen if drop back in trip/first-time blinkers spark improvement.

Well held in a trio of maiden hurdles but pedigree offers some hope that he could show more now handicapping. Worth a market check in first-time hood.

Forecasts

Diamond Dollar (7/4), River Vale (7/2), Kelly's Cosmos (7/1), Burlington House (8/1), Harry's Dream (9/1), Sheriffhill (10/1), Gaoithe Glory (12/1), Cumberland River (14/1), Paradise Lost (20/1), Fourcardrun (25/1), Kofino (40/1), Taketwotoone (66/1), Felicity Smoak (66/1), Sunrise Strider (100/1), Nobody (100/1)

Verdict

CUMBERLAND RIVER looks a likely improver on handicap bow for Gordon Elliott and he gets the vote in a wide-open race, though Diamond Dollar is feared if the money comes again dropping back to 2m, while Sheriffhill can continue his run of hitting the frame in handicap hurdles.

  1. Cumberland River14/1
  2. Diamond Dollar7/4
  3. Sheriffhill10/1
