Off time: 18:48 | Winning time: 4m 58.90s

Bold Reflection²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Alex Harvey| T: J C McConnell

33/1

Bumper winner in December 2022 but off almost 3 years prior to shaping as if amiss on Hexham hurdling debut and fared little better at Punchestown 11 weeks later.

Form: 3218/P-0

Ardeen Joy^h²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR: 107| BF

5/1

Third at Cork (19f) in March and pressing the winner when falling at the last in a maiden at Limerick (2½m, soft) in May. Failed to repeat that effort when third at Downpatrick since but worth another chance.

Form: P83-F3

Giorgia Rose^p,t³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Ricky Doyle| T: E Mullins

10/1

Maiden pointer went with little promise in a Clonmel bumper but showed more switched to hurdling fitted with cheekpieces when third of 10 in 2¾m maiden at Tramore in May. Needs to build on that now.

Form: 23/238-3

Glendaars Crystal²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: P J O'Hanlon| T: D A McLoughlin

150/1

Well held in a pair of maiden hurdles. Needs this for a handicap mark.

Form: 70

Idaho Expresso⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Ben Harvey| T: D M Christie

125/1

Won only once from 9 point starts and went with no encouragement on hurdling debut at Downpatrick in May, looking almost unrideable at times.

Form: PU13P-P

Jet To Glory²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Brian Hayes| T: J C McConnell

18/1

Runner-up on second of 2 starts in points (Mar 22). Only minor promise in a maiden hurdle/bumper but longer trip should suit.

Form: P2-54

Jo's Secret^t⁵⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Daniel King| T: A J Martin

6/4

Fair form in bumpers and when placed in a pair of maiden hurdles earlier in the year. Step up in trip sure to suit and must enter calculations.

Form: 527/23-4

Red Acres Georgie¹⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: J J Slevin| T: A Mullins

10/3

A 6-figure purchase after running out an easy winner of second start in points but has shown little in 2 bumpers.

Form: F1/77-

Riverwoods³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead

5/1

Showed the benefit of her initial outing when second of 13 in maiden hurdle (12/1) at Wexford (16.9f, good to soft) in August. No great shakes in 2 bumpers since but needs considering back in this sphere all the same.

Form: 726-3

She's All Talk Sir

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Kevin Sexton| T: Rory Devine

50/1

Jukebox Jury mare. Half-sister to fairly useful 3m hunter chase winner Snap Fish. Dam unraced sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 29f) Musical Slave out of 2½m-2¾m hurdle winner (stayed 3¼m) Inghwung.

Uno Me I Like My T²⁷

150/1

Has yet to show any ability.

Form: 0/0PF-3F

Western Shores²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Danny Gilligan| T: G Elliott

12/1

Ran to a similar level as on debut when fifth of 14 in maiden hurdle at Downpatrick (19f, good to firm, 9/1) 20 days ago. Should find that aiding her development and is one to consider.

Form: 55

Sonna Lady³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Paddy Hanlon⁽⁵⁾| T: J J Hanlon

150/1

Sent off 150/1 when ninth of 14 in maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f, good to soft) on debut 34 days ago.

Forecasts

Jo's Secret (6/4), Red Acres Georgie (10/3), Ardeen Joy (5/1), Riverwoods (5/1), Chisel Hill (5/1), Star Of Idaho (6/1), Giorgia Rose (10/1), How's Ellie (11/1), Western Shores (12/1), Jet To Glory (18/1), Prophetess Miriam (25/1), Everyday Life (25/1), Bold Reflection (33/1), She's All Talk Sir (50/1), Santa Paula (66/1), Idaho Expresso (125/1), Sonna Lady (150/1), Glendaars Crystal (150/1), Uno Me I Like My T (150/1)

JO'S SECRET has shown a fair level of ability to date and could well have more to offer now reverting to hurdling upped to a trip that promises to suit. Ardeen Joy is feared most if able to reproduce the form she looked set to show prior to her fall on her penultimate outing, while Star of Idaho also warrants respect after shaping with promise on her sole bumper start.
