Mount Ferns⁵⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-13| J: Calum Hogan⁽⁵⁾| T: E McNamara| OR: 99

14/1

Ran well from further back than ideal when third at Listowel last September. In the process of also running well when departing 3 out in handicap chase (6/4) at Killarney the following month. Not seen again until pulled up over hurdles at Cork in May. Needs to leave that well behind.

Form: F6/P3F-P

Grey Gardens³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: P Nolan| OR: 98| BF

5/1

Surpassed previous form sent handicapping after a break when third of 20 at Down Royal (17f) in May but was let down by his jumping when 10½ lengths seventh of 14 to Kilt at Wexford 23 days later, second when bad mistake 2 out. Clear round and step forward likely needed.

Form: 0/830-37

Lakota Blue³⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr N McParlan| T: S McParlan| OR: 97| BF

20/1

Bumper winner in France who didn't kick on after initially making a positive start over hurdles for Gordon Elliott and could only notch a couple of modest placed efforts from 3 starts over fences last season. Back over hurdles for new connections but tendency to finish weakly remains a concern.

Form: 406/363-

Oh So Charming^t¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Kevin Healy⁽⁷⁾| T: D Queally| OR: 97| BF

7/2

Best effort for some time when 2¾ lengths second of 9 to Rich Belief in claiming hurdle at this course in May, but failed to back that up in a handicap last time and needs a strong gallop to be effective at this trip.

Form: 644-525

You Done Well^p,t²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Alan O'Sullivan⁽⁵⁾| T: M J Browne| OR: 95| BF

5/2

Winner at Limerick off 6 lb higher last May and made a promising start for current connections when 2½ lengths third of 15 to Getaway Henry at Clonmel last month. Cheekpieces go back on and looks sure to go close if turning up in same form.

Form: 4552-43

Tropical Twist⁷⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Paddy Cleary⁽⁷⁾| T: G Elliott| OR: 93

40/1

Lightly-raced mare who hasn't made much impact over hurdles to date, running no sort of race in a handicap at Bellewstown last time. Questions to answer now.

Form: 6545FP-

Glendine Billy⁸⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: J J Slevin| T: A Mullins| OR: 88

6/1

Hasn't stood much racing of late but did at least catch the eye with his move into contention here (17f) 80 days ago before fading on his first run in 8 months. Claims if ready to go after another break.

Form: 5P0/0P9-

Cinnabar Moth³²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: R Deegan| T: Liz Doyle| OR: 83

18/1

No impact in bumpers/maiden hurdles but showed a bit more when 9¾ lengths fifth of 10 to Shannon Bank in handicap at Listowel last time. Worth a market check.

Form: 098-055

Mr Macphisto^t⁵⁹³

Age: 10| Weight: 10-11| J: Ms N M Bradley⁽⁷⁾| T: E Griffin| OR: 83

22/1

Two-time winner but was operating below best when last seen 19 months previously and needs to prove he retains enough ability to feature.

Form: 14073F/

Dark Berkshire^p1¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Tiernan Power Roche| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 80

28/1

Poor maiden that has failed to make much of an impact in handicap hurdles on last 3 starts. Wears first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 00897-P

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: Phillip Enright| T: S Curling| OR: 80

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: Paddy Hanlon⁽⁵⁾| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 78

16/1

Fairly useful form in 3 starts on the Flat in France for Andre Fabre. Little show in maiden hurdles or in handicaps last 2 starts.

Form: 70000-9

Esticky End³⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Dylan Robinson| T: Tom McGuinness| OR: 72

Forecasts

You Done Well (5/2), Oh So Charming (7/2), Kentucky Bluebird (4/1), Grey Gardens (5/1), Glendine Billy (6/1), Barrogstown Girl (11/1), He Who Dares (12/1), Mount Ferns (14/1), Mount Hotham (16/1), Syosset (16/1), Cinnabar Moth (18/1), Esticky End (20/1), Lakota Blue (20/1), Mr Macphisto (22/1), O'grady Cracker (25/1), Dark Berkshire (28/1), Tropical Twist (40/1)

YOU DONE WELL made a pleasing start for MIchael Browne last time and, with a good-value conditional on board, is selected to resume winning ways. Glendine Billy is well handicapped on pick of his efforts if ready to go after a break, whilst Grey Gardens would have finished much closer last time but for some sloppy jumping errors.
