Allroadsleadtorome¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Tom Buckley| T: J C McConnell

80/1

Ran twice in bumpers and once over hurdles, finishing no better than mid-field. Has raced lazily on last 2 starts and is easy to pass over.

Form: 5/5-7

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Shane O'Callaghan⁽⁵⁾| T: P J Rothwell

66/1

Showed a bit on belated debut when third in bumper at Clonmel in April. Finished tailed off next time at Punchestown the following month. Makes hurdles debut.

Euro Agent¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: James Smith⁽⁵⁾| T: G Elliott

9/1

Showed a bit in a bumper and not knocked about in a pair of maiden hurdles since joining this yard. Looks one for handicaps.

Form: U8R5/7

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Alan O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: D Commins| OR: 105

16/1

300/1 and in first-time cheekpieces, ran better than for a while when fourth of 8 in minor event hurdle at Ballinrobe (2¼m, good) 20 days ago. Remains to be seen if he can build on that.

Form: 00/4

In The Trenches⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Eoghan Finegan⁽⁷⁾| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 108

9/4

Long-standing maiden who has run some good races in defeat, latest when second of 15 at Clonmel just last week. May prove vulnerable again in this company.

Form: 285/552

Jet Renegade^t1³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Conor Smithers⁽⁷⁾| T: A Kinirons

14/1

Failed to progress in bumpers and has shown only barely fair form in a trio of Flat starts at up to 1½m. Well held on hurdling bow at Aintree in May. Has a tongue strap added here.

Form: 55/

Mydreamtell¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Philip Donovan⁽³⁾| T: J Fahey

50/1

Telescope gelding. No better than mid-field maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe (2m, good to soft) on debut 19 days ago. Bred to need time and distance.

Form: 6

Yup Bro⁵²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Shane Fitzsimons⁽⁷⁾| T: J C McConnell

125/1

Modest maiden at best on the Flat, making the frame over 10.7f at Dundalk last year. Flat-bred gelding who doesn't particularly appeal as one to make a jumper on paper.

Form:

Amina^t²¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Ricky Doyle| T: J C McConnell

5/6

Lightly-raced in bumpers, making the frame first 3 starts. Creditable 8¾ lengths fifth of 12 to Celestial Tune in listed bumper (6/1) at Cheltenham (2m, soft) in November. Makes hurdles debut after 7 months off and looks a more likely type.

Form: 3225/

Magical Act³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Josh Younge⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Hanlon

150/1

Profitable mare. Rather unsurprisingly shaped like a non-stayer on debut in bumper at this course. Has the tongue strap discarded switched to hurdles.

Form: 7

Western Shores¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Kevin Sexton| T: G Elliott

9/1

Feel Like Dancing mare. 25/1, fifth of 15 in maiden hurdle at Tramore (2m, good to soft) on debut 15 days ago. Should be suited by the step up in trip and rates a big threat.

Form: 5

Forecasts

Amina (5/6), In The Trenches (9/4), Euro Agent (9/1), Western Shores (9/1), Jet Renegade (14/1), Eye Contact (16/1), Capri Gear (20/1), Paymelater (33/1), Mydreamtell (50/1), Adifferentballowax (50/1), Colwyn Bay (66/1), Allroadsleadtorome (80/1), Sum Story (100/1), Double Order (100/1), Yup Bro (125/1), Magical Act (150/1), Moundofthehostages (200/1)

This isn't a deep maiden for the numbers and WESTERN SHORES can open her account at the second time of asking. Amina shaped with promise in bumpers and can chase the selection home, with In The Trenches rounding out the places.
