Off time: 16:55 | Winning time: 5m 28.60s

Cowper Hall⁷¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 110| D

14/1

Easy winner on latest hurdle start at Fairyhouse (soft) in December. Failed to meet expectations when fifth of 9 in Thurles chase latest, but too soon to dismiss now reverted to hurdling.

Form: 2241U5

Ceroc^v,t¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Cian Quirke| T: A Slattery| OR: 109| C| D

20/1

Yard in good form but this hit-and-miss performer reverts to hurdles having run one of his lesser races in a Clonmel handicap chase last time.

Form: P2557P

Miss Mini Bee^h,t³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Simon Torrens| T: P T Foley| OR: 103

14/1

Yet to add to her debut bumper success but ran as well as she has over hurdles when third (runner-up won twice since) at Gowran and has to be high on the shortlist.

Form: 549753

Takarengo¹¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: Millie Barcoe⁽⁷⁾| T: J Barcoe| OR: 102| D

66/1

On a losing run dating back to September 2021 and shaped with little promise on his Flat comeback at Navan.

Form: 7/6-2P6P

Accustomed^p²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Jack Kennedy| T: E D Delany| OR: 100| BF

7/2

In first-time cheekpieces, came close to justifying strong support when second of 19 at Downpatrick last time. Ground again in his favour and the booking of Jack Kennedy catches the eye.

Form: 420062

Noble Talent^p²²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Anna McGuinness⁽⁷⁾| T: T J Nagle-Jr| OR: 100| D

18/1

Fared no better than of late when switched to hurdles at Cork last time.

Form: 3P-P0P7

Teenage Kiss^p³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Charlie O'Dwyer⁽⁵⁾| T: C O'Dwyer| OR: 99

9/1

Low-mileage 5-y-o confirmed herself in good heart with latest fourth at Naas and needs considering, with return to 2½m expected to benefit.

Form: 37P624

Bocelli's Voice^v1,t⁸⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 10-12| J: P J O'Hanlon| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 96| C

33/1

Makes a rare hurdle start having lost his form over fences last autumn/winter and hopes pinned on the fitting of more severe headgear.

Form: 64U70P

Ersudaly^h1⁸⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Ricky Doyle| T: C Bowe| OR: 94

40/1

Off the mark fifth time of asking in Points but down the field in 3 maiden hurdles, latest at Fairyhouse in January. Reasonable to think she can make more impact now handicapping in first-time hood, though.

Form: PF1670

Humble Brag⁹²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Phillip Enright| T: D Hassett| OR: 93

85/40

Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/very smart chaser Pencilfulloflead (2¾m-23f winner) who caught the eye when making up late ground into fourth on handicap debut at Clonmel (17f) in January and could improve back up in trip.

Form: 7504

Sean Mc⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Eoin Staples⁽⁵⁾| T: P Nolan| OR: 93

13/2

Lightly-raced 6-y-o chased home a fairly useful sort penultimate start at Punchestown before finishing seventh of 10 in a stronger handicap there latest. One to consider back in calmer waters.

Form: 90-8227

Annie's Belle^h1,t³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: Alex Harvey| T: C O'Connell| OR: 92

40/1

Again sent off long odds when (250/1) fifth of 20 on qualifying run at Naas (2m) and looks the type to do better now handicapping (in first-time hood) over further.

Form: 795

Great Bird^p1⁹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: R Deegan| T: Liz Doyle| OR: 92

16/1

Shaped well in pair of handicaps earlier in the season, and while well below form over longer trip at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day, she looks worth another chance returning from a break in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 84-2F60

Hitthehayson^p⁶¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Josh Williamson⁽⁵⁾| T: Ian Donoghue| OR: 91| D

6/1

Winner 4 times over hurdles/fences this season, though looked summed up by his mark when fifth of 11 in a similar race at Navan latest.

Form: 1411P5

Forecasts

Humble Brag (85/40), Accustomed (7/2), Hitthehayson (6/1), Sean Mc (13/2), Teenage Kiss (9/1), Cowper Hall (14/1), Miss Mini Bee (14/1), Great Bird (16/1), Glendine Billy (16/1), Stumblin In (16/1), Noble Talent (18/1), Ceroc (20/1), Bocelli's Voice (33/1), Speakasyoufind (33/1), Ersudaly (40/1), Annie's Belle (40/1), Takarengo (66/1)

MISS MINI BEE wasn't far behind a two-time subsequent winner at Gowran on latest start and a similar effort may see her get off the mark over hurdles. Potential improvers Humble Brag and Annie's Belle could offer some each-way value in a wide-open handicap.
