Off time: 14:23 | Winning time: 4m 41.20s

Just For One²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr J G Murphy⁽⁷⁾| T: D G Murphy| OR: 100

12/1

5-y-o who made much more impact than previously when second of 15 in novice hurdle at Limerick (19f, heavy) 24 days ago, doing better under positive tactics. Could build on that back in a handicap.

Form: 0/96602

Coffeys Forge^h¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-10| J: Brian Barry⁽⁷⁾| T: S Aherne| OR: 96

12/1

One win from 21 NH runs. 14/1, stepped up markedly on his stable debut effort when good second of 14 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (20f, heavy) 14 days ago. Definite claims provided he keeps the errors at bay.

Form: 583-792

Rackemandstackem^t1²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 96

8/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, below form eighth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy) 26 days ago, brief headway approaching 2 out but never on terms. Tongue strap on 1st time and progress required.

Form: 7708

Westoftignes⁶⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Kevin Healy⁽⁷⁾| T: A Murray| OR: 94

9/4

Low-mileage 7-y-o who produced his best effort yet when fourth in big-field Navan handicap last time. Likely to do better still at some point but a return to 2½m would probably suit ideally.

Form: 664094

Marelly^b²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Tiernan Power Roche⁽³⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 93| CD

9/1

C&D winner. Twenty one runs since last win in 2022. 15/2, respectable seventh of 13 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy) 26 days ago. Blinkers back on. Has good chance on pick of form.

Form: 050597

Mickey Hulie^t1¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Sean Flanagan| T: D H Kelly| OR: 91

9/1

Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 6/1, ninth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (20f, heavy) 14 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Difficult ask.

Form: 137809

Marie's March^h⁶⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: Sarah Connell| OR: 90

16/1

14/1, shaped as if needing the run after 8 months off when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Navan (16f, heavy) 67 days ago, pulled up straight. Remains relatively early days with her if she can step up on that now.

Form: 34P30/P

Harty Cup²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Mark Walsh| T: R Tyner| OR: 89

12/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, ninth of 15 in novice hurdle at Limerick (19f, heavy) 24 days ago, not knocked about. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Likely to improve.

Form: 3/0079

Scarlet Purse²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Brian Hayes| T: J C McConnell| OR: 88

66/1

50/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (19f, heavy) 24 days ago, always behind. Hard to fancy on what she's achieved to date.

Form: 0096/00

Koolio Kate^h⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Alex Harvey| T: P T Foley| OR: 87

20/1

Lightly-raced maiden who failed to build on the promise of his reappearance run at Clonmel when thirteenth of 20 in handicap hurdle (22/1) at Fairyhouse (20.2f, soft) 40 days ago. Step back down in trip needs to have positive effect now.

Form: 0007/40

Bruno From Mars^t²²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Michael Kenneally⁽⁷⁾| T: Conor Maxwell| OR: 85

11/2

Off 12 months/first run since leaving Mrs Sarah Dawson, running with credit (close up) when fell 2 out in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (17.2f, soft) in December prior to finishing fourth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.5f) 22 days ago. Possibilities.

Form: 00PP/F4

Sidiriya^h¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Simon Torrens| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 79

22/1

9/2 and hooded for 1st time, eleventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (20f, heavy) 14 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 500770

Poets Oath²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: Phillip Enright| T: R Tyner| OR: 78

18/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 200/1, fourteenth of 17 in novice hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy) 27 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut and one to note in the betting for positive vibes.

Form: 0070

Chesterbaylad²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Shane Markey⁽⁷⁾| T: Ms H P Markham| OR: 77

12/1

Creditable ninth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (17.2f, soft, 20/1) 27 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 098P09

Rajjnatin^t⁴⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Philip Donovan⁽³⁾| T: Miss E McCutcheon| OR: 72

11/1

12/1, below form eighth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.2f, soft) 40 days ago, unsuited by emphasis on stamina. Return to this trip looks a positive step and better showing could well be on the cards.

Form: 8/U0688

KING BOB backed up his previous effort to a large extent without being able to sustain a big move into contention when third in a big-field Punchestown handicap 3 weeks ago. Less exposed than most he meets here, he could be worth siding with to confirm the promise of that effort. Coffeys Forge and Just For One each arrive on the back of good efforts and head up the dangers.
