Off time: 17:43 | Winning time: 5m 17.50s

Marlpark¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Danny Gilligan| T: J P Ryan| OR: 94| C

33/1

Down in grade/returning to scene of sole previous win, having run poorly when twelfth of 13 in handicap hurdle (25/1) at Gowran latest.

Form: 765P-40

Brave Endeavour²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Gary Noonan| T: P O'Flynn| OR: 91

20/1

Midfield in 2½m Thurles maiden on reappearance/stable debut and though well held on qualifying run there last time, he could be more competitive now tackling handicaps.

Form: P5/5P-70

Live My Dream³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: D Budds| OR: 90

22/1

Bande gelding. Dam (h106), 2m1f-2m5f hurdle/chase winner in France, half-sister to useful French chaser Sadler'sflaure (winner up to 2¾m). Modest seventh of 14 at Limerick on penultimate start and now switches to a handicap having finished well held on qualifying run at Punchestown.

Form: P6-07P

Ossifer Hops²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Ethan O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: Bernard Crowley| OR: 90| D

10/1

Hit-and-miss performer for previous yard but yet to fire at all for new connections.

Form: 06606P

Dark Lieutenant¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Richard Condon⁽⁵⁾| T: P A Fahy| OR: 89

22/1

Soldier Of Fortune gelding. Dam (h119), 2m/2¼m hurdle winner (stayed 2½m), half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 2½m) Tara Point. Long way below modest bumper form in maiden hurdles, though does at least benefit from a switch to handicaps.

Form: U95600

Potters Pal^h1,t²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Daniel King| T: T Cooper| OR: 89

7/2

Made frame both starts in points and showed bit more on second start in a handicap when fifth of 9 (2m) here, though will need to improve again stepping back up in trip (sporting first-time hood).

Form: 400065

Opposite Ends²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Philip Byrnes| T: C Byrnes| OR: 87

10/3

Friendless in the betting but produced comfortably his best effort to date when 33/1 third in a 2m handicap here. That performance can be marked up and he needs considering, especially if supported.

Form: 0-5UB63

Boston Breeze²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Brian Hayes| T: L P Cusack| OR: 85

22/1

€50,000 Telescope mare. Dam (c130/h127), 2m-2½m hurdle/chase winner, sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stays 3m1f) Everglow. 100/1 when distant fourth of 18 in novice hurdle at Thurles but ought to do better now handicapping over longer trip.

Form: 604

Ode To Joy^h²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Gavin Brouder| T: W J McLernon| OR: 85

17/2

Fared better than previously in first-time hood on handicap debut, making late headway to finish fourth of 17 at Naas (2m), and she's one to consider with step back up in trip expected to suit.

Form: 800004

Spellacy's Cross¹⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Donagh Meyler| T: J Barcoe| OR: 84| CD

3/1

Landed double here in October before creditable fifth in the Cork National the following month. Looks interesting off significantly lower mark on return.

Form: 26U115

Ballyredinkingston²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Michael Kenneally⁽⁵⁾| T: J P Ryan| OR: 81

12/1

Very disappointing over hurdles, considering he managed to hit the frame in bumpers, though does at least benefit from good-value claimer in saddle for first time.

Form: 094000

Strand Street Lass²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Josh Williamson⁽⁵⁾| T: E M O'Sullivan| OR: 77

66/1

€33,000 Order Of St George mare pulled up both starts in points and now switches to handicaps/slightly longer trip having shown nothing under Rules.

Form: PP-099

The Cobblers Wife²²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: Michael J Doyle⁽⁷⁾| T: G M Doyle| OR: 77

66/1

Remains with little form over hurdles.

Form: 079U0

Added Bonus^p,t⁵⁶

Age: 12| Weight: 10-0| J: Phillip Enright| T: Brendan Walsh| OR: 72

12/1

Overall strike-rate is very modest (2-59) and he's struggling for form at present.

Form: 785960

Qaasid^p⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Danny Mullins| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 97

16/1

Not in same form as previous start when 33/1 twelfth of 22 in handicap hurdle at Cork 7 days ago. RESERVE.

Forecasts

Spellacy's Cross (3/1), Opposite Ends (10/3), Potters Pal (7/2), Market Ready (8/1), Ode To Joy (17/2), Ossifer Hops (10/1), Added Bonus (12/1), Ballyredinkingston (12/1), Qaasid (16/1), Brave Endeavour (20/1), Humble Brag (20/1), Live My Dream (22/1), Dark Lieutenant (22/1), Boston Breeze (22/1), Marlpark (33/1), The Cobblers Wife (66/1), Strand Street Lass (66/1)

A case can be made for plenty but MARKET READY is taken to capitalise on a tempting opening mark. Opposite Ends is feared, especially if backed, while Spellacy's Cross merits consideration from his significantly lower hurdle mark.
