Encanto Bruno¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Dylan Kidd⁽⁷⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 127| D

28/1

One-time useful hurdler who's lightly raced of late. Third in minor event at Clonmel 10 days ago. Steps back up in trip but has a bit to prove at present.

Form: PP220/3

Lisnamult Lad^p,t⁴⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Kieren Buckley| T: Ian Donoghue| OR: 125| D

11/1

Ended 2024/25 with a fine second in the Topham at the Aintree Grand National Meeting. Not in the same form since (broke blood vessel when last seen in May) and needs the return to hurdles and refitting of cheekpieces to work the oracle.

Jacovec Cavern^p²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Richard Condon⁽⁵⁾| T: P Hennessy| OR: 121

3/1

Took advantage of a career-low mark when decisively landing a first hurdle success in a 24-runner handicap at Punchestown in April and backed it up when second at Ballinrobe the following month. One of the likely types on current form.

Form: 13001/2

In Excelsis Deo^p¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Rian Lane⁽⁷⁾| T: E Bolger| OR: 120| D

40/1

Point winner in May but seemed stretched by the return to 3m under Rules at Listowel 2 weeks ago. Looks vulnerable back over hurdles despite the cheekpieces being back on.

Form: U22D/16

Toll Stone²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Ricky Doyle| T: E Mullins| OR: 118| BF

8/1

Narrowly beaten at the Galway Festival last summer and shaped with plenty of encouragement when third in a 24-runner handicap on return at Punchestown in April. Looked after once losing pitch at Ballinrobe last month and market may be best guide.

Form: 87523/0

Cobra Queen²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Hugh Horgan⁽⁵⁾| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 117| D

15/2

Opened chase account at the third attempt at Tramore and followed up in handicap at Roscommon last season. Pulled up on return in Mayo National at Ballinrobe 3 weeks ago and has to be worth a market check back hurdling from a lower mark.

Form: 32114/P

Ad Caelum²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Alan O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: J P Ryan| OR: 116| CD

10/1

Successful twice in handicap hurdles last year (including over C&D) but found consistency hard to come by sent chasing after. Back to down to last winning mark returned to hurdling.

Form: 3P6/763

Rexem^p⁴⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Calum Hogan⁽⁵⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 115| D

16/1

Capitalised on a good opportunity to land a Clonmel claiming hurdle in October. Solid efforts in defeat next 3 outings (including over fences) but now has it to prove after a couple of disappointing efforts.

Form: 1422P/5-

Moonovercloon^t²⁴⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: Harry Sexton⁽⁷⁾| T: D Queally| OR: 114| C

7/2

Twenty three runs since last win in 2023. Failed to hold form over the course of last year after an encouraging start but is potentially very well handicapped now starting out for a new trainer. Has gone well fresh before and interesting in a change of headgear.

Form: 078647/

St Lawrence's Well^h¹⁶⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Kevin Healy⁽⁷⁾| T: D Queally| OR: 114| C| D

15/2

Winner in bumper here in September and showed a bit when second on hurdling debut at Cork next time. Subsequently proved expensive to follow and has work to do on handicap debut.

Form: 2125F5/

Littlebiggie^t¹⁴⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-11| J: Conor Clarke⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hackett| OR: 112| D

10/1

Latest win in mares maiden chase at Ballinrobe in September. 14/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Thurles (21f, good to soft) when last seen in January. Switches back to hurdles.

Form: 21537P/

Dorans Law^p,t²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Shane O'Callaghan⁽⁵⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 110

22/1

Opened account over fences in a Wexford handicap last summer but has shown little since returning this year. Has the tongue strap refitted now back over hurdles.

Form: 452PP/6

Forecasts

Jacovec Cavern (3/1), Moonovercloon (7/2), Cobra Queen (15/2), St Lawrence's Well (15/2), Toll Stone (8/1), Ad Caelum (10/1), Littlebiggie (10/1), Lisnamult Lad (11/1), Ballybow (12/1), Rexem (16/1), Crossing The Bar (20/1), Dorans Law (22/1), Encanto Bruno (28/1), In Excelsis Deo (40/1)

JACOVEC CAVERN arrives in good form and is given the nod to gain a second success from his last 3 starts. Cobra Queen could figure back over hurdles, while Moonovercloon is interesting back from an absence starting out for a new trainer.
