St Lawrence's Well^h⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr D L Queally| T: D Queally| OR: 117| BF

5/1

Fairly useful winner of a bumper at Kilbeggan in September. Has proven expensive to follow over hurdles, set to finish no better than fourth when fell in novice hurdle (2/1) at Thurles (22.5f, good to soft) 42 days ago. May again prove vulnerable to improving types.

Form: 12125F

American Jukebox^p1²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Danny Gilligan| T: G Elliott

3/1

Point runner-up from family yard know well. Fairly useful form in bumpers and likely needed the run when seventh of 18 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (19f, heavy, 9/1) on hurdles bow 21 days ago (Pookie Holler fourth in same race). Cheekpieces on for first time and may well do better for top yard.

Form: 2426-7

Did I Ask You That^t³⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Danny Mullins| T: W P Mullins

11/8

Fairly useful in bumpers and made a promising hurdle debut when third in a useful maiden at Punchestown last season. Making headway when slipped up before 3 out on reappearance last month (too far out to suggest outcome) and still the one to beat with Paul Townend back aboard.

Form: 240/3-S

Moon Mission¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Tiernan Power Roche⁽³⁾| T: P J Rothwell

22/1

Caught the eye when sixth of 13 in novice hurdle at Thurles (16.1f, soft) 12 days ago, finishing with running left under a patient ride (not given hard time). Likely to do better at some stage and well worth a market check upped significantly in trip.

Form: 863836

Pookie Holler²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead

9/4

Third sole start in points. Showed ability when eighth in an above-average maiden hurdle on debut and improved on return when fourth of 18 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (19f, heavy, 10/1) 21 days ago. Should appreciate longer trip and is open to further improvement.

Form: 38-4

River Kingdom⁵⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Shane Fitzgerald| T: Dermot P O'Brien

250/1

Dansant gelding offered little when ninth of 10 in bumper at Clonmel (16.7f, soft, 40/1) on NH debut 56 days ago. Makes hurdles debut over longer trip with plenty to prove.

Form: 9

The Last Minute²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Jordan Gainford| T: J Barcoe

150/1

Winning pointer. No impact when eighth of 19 in novice hurdle (150/1) at Cork (16.9f, soft) 25 days ago. Back up in trip and will be better off in handicaps.

Form: 35P-468

Two Can Plan

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Phillip Enright| T: A Slattery

80/1

Buratino gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners on Flat, including 1m winner Miniskirt. Dam maiden on Flat (stayed 7f). Bred more for speed than stamina and could only be considered if supported on racecourse bow.

Forecasts

Did I Ask You That (11/8), Pookie Holler (9/4), American Jukebox (3/1), St Lawrence's Well (5/1), Moon Mission (22/1), Two Can Plan (80/1), The Last Minute (150/1), Hunters Girl (200/1), River Kingdom (250/1)

DID I ASK YOU THAT sets the standard on the form of his hurdling debut third and is fancied to get off the mark following an unfortunate slip on reappearance last time. Pookie Holler looks the standout danger, while we may see better from well-related American Jukebox now fitted with headgear on second start of the season. Moon Mission caught the eye of the stewards last time and is well worth a market check upped markedly in trip.
