Acheron²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Alan O'Sullivan⁽²⁾| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 105

33/1

Fair on Flat and he readily surpassed anything achieved previously over hurdles for present yard when second of 12 in a Downpatrick maiden (2¾m) 3 weeks ago. That hardly appeals as strong form though, and this rates more demanding.

Form: U-002

Casper Charlie⁶⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Josh Williamson| T: Una Corcoran

66/1

Berkshire gelding who was backed at long odds but didn't see his race out when well beaten in a Punchestown bumper in May. Looks best watched now attentions switch to hurdling.

Form: 0-

Cooladdi^h²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Eoghan Finegan⁽²⁾| T: Conor Maxwell| OR: 102

4/1

Placed sole outing in bumpers and suited by increase in trip when second of 11 on C&D hurdling debut last July. Went backwards next 2 starts but more encouragement from an unpromising position when seventh on return/handicap debut at Downpatrick 23 days ago.

Form: F/3276-7

Frankie's Freebie³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Sexton⁽⁴⁾| T: A Sexton| OR: 112

15/8

Pour Moi gelding who dispelled a couple of lesser efforts following a short break when runner up in a Punchestown maiden (19f) 4 weeks ago, held only late on. A repeat gives him sound claims once more.

Form: 32240-2

Fuusland

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: J M Halford⁽⁴⁾| T: G Elliott

16/1

Jet Away gelding. Dam (h84), bumper/2½m hurdle winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdle winner/useful chaser (stayed 2½m) Mount Pelier and fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 3½m) Legends Gold. Appeals on paper for leading stable and one to note if strong in the betting.

Form:

Go To The Moon^t⁵⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Michael Kenneally| T: M M McNiff

50/1

Vadamos gelding who was successful on second of 2 starts in points but he achieved nothing following more than a year off when twelfth of 15 in a Sligo bumper (2¼m, good to soft) in May. Best watched now hurdling with a tongue strap retained.

Form: P1/0

Killowen House²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Jack Gilligan⁽²⁾| T: P J Gilligan

15/2

Point winner who offered something to work on when third of 8 in maiden at Cork (3m, good to soft) on hurdle debut in May. Unsuited by the drop back in trip when seventh at Sligo (2¼m, soft) since and he appeals as a likely type for staying handicaps.

Form: FP61-37

Little Big John^h³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Conor Clarke⁽⁴⁾| T: M Magnussen

28/1

Offered little on first 2 starts in April but he displayed more than previously equipped with a hood/tongue tie when sixth of 17 in a Punchestown maiden (19f) 4 weeks ago, keeping on without threatening. No surprise to see him progress further in handicaps. Tongue tie discarded.

Form: P0-6

Blue Nude⁶⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Shane O'Callaghan| T: P J Rothwell

250/1

Sumbal gelding who offered little in a Punchestown bumper on debut in April. Up in trip for hurdles debut and best watched.

Form: 0-

Take The Free²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Aidan Kelly| T: E Bolger| OR: 110

2/1

Walk In The Park gelding who has improved with each outing to date, second of 11 in a 2m maiden here on most recent outing 4 weeks ago. Bred to be suited by this step up in trip and he's of interest with prospect of more to come.

Form: 8-62

Midnight Musical³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Ethan O'Sullivan⁽⁴⁾| T: A McCann

50/1

Made an encouraging bumper debut at Galway last August but most disappointing since, including in 2 tries over hurdles.

Form: 2000-58

Online Order^h³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Charlie O'Dwyer| T: L P Cusack

150/1

Order of St George mare who was fitted with a hood and possibly needed the run when seventh of 8 in a mares bumper at Limerick on debut 39 days ago. Goes up in trip for hurdles bow.

Form: 7

Sea Feliz

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Anna McGuinness⁽⁴⁾| T: W P Mullins

14/1

€19,000 3-y-o, Getaway mare. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler Morricone. Dam, a bumper winner from successful NH family. Of obvious interest for top yard.

Form:

Non-Runners

Forecasts

Frankie's Freebie (15/8), Take The Free (2/1), Cooladdi (4/1), Imarajan (13/2), Killowen House (15/2), Lilac Lady (12/1), Sea Feliz (14/1), Fuusland (16/1), Little Big John (28/1), Acheron (33/1), Midnight Musical (50/1), Go To The Moon (50/1), Casper Charlie (66/1), Online Order (150/1), Blue Nude (250/1)

FRANKIE'S FREEBIE got back on track following a short break when runner up at Punchestown 4 weeks ago and a repeat gives him sound claims of going one better back up slightly in trip. Take The Free is steadily going the right way and rates a danger up in trip, whilst Sea Feliz and Fuusland are interesting newcomers from top yards and confidence behind either in the betting would need to be viewed positively.
