Plastic Paddy^p¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Patrick M O'Brien⁽⁵⁾| T: Tom McGuinness

250/1

Poor on the Flat nowadays and has been pulled up all starts over hurdles. Easily passed over.

Form: PPP

Sea Eagle⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Thomas O'Connor⁽⁷⁾| T: Gerard O'Leary

3/1

Fairly useful winner at 10f on Flat. Running best race over hurdles (keeping on in second) when unseated rider last in maiden at Tramore (2m) in April. Poor effort back on the level since but sets the standard nonetheless.

Form: 26U-

Storm Eric¹³³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Keith Donoghue| T: Jamie Flynn

33/1

Modest performer on the Flat who posted several good efforts at Dundalk (10.7f) earlier in the year. Makes a belated hurdling debut.

Form:

Champagne Diamond³⁶⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Phillip Enright| T: T J O'Mara

80/1

Maiden pointer who was well held on hurdling debut at Cork a year ago.

Form: 6F555/0-

Drumconnor Hill¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Ben Harvey| T: C Collins

25/1

Runner-up completed start in points and showed more than first time up over hurdles when fourth of 15 in 2m maiden at Ballinrobe in May. Failed to repeat that effort at Wexford 15 days ago, though.

Form: P2-847

Kingston Silver

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Danny Mullins| T: W J Lanigan

40/1

Kingston Hill gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Sergeant Wilson and fair hurdler Stucker Hill. Dam 7f winner.

Langage Du Large⁴⁵³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Ian Power| T: P Breen

20/1

Pastorius gelding. Half-brother to numerous winners, including fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Farceur du Large and French hurdler/chaser Enfant du Large. Fell sole start in points (May 2025).

Penny Express¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR: 102

3/1

Fair maiden hurdler who wasn't disgraced when fourth of 13 in maiden at this course (17f, good) 15 days ago. Likely to be in the shake-up.

Form: P3-P454

Rosenborg²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Ross Sugrue⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 100

13/2

Stepped up on his 2 previous efforts under Rules when second of 12 in maiden hurdle at Sligo (17f, good, 11/1) 26 days ago. More required for win purposes.

Form: P3-702

Sum Story⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Tiernan Power Roche| T: P J Rothwell

80/1

Unplaced both starts in points and offered little in a Downpatrick maiden hurdle (19f) in June.

Form: 55-0

Tell Me See¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Eoin Walsh| T: J M Burke

80/1

50/1, merely hinted at ability when eighth of 15 in maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f, good) 14 days ago. Probably one for later on.

Form: 9-8

Tomthescaffolder³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead

6/5

Improved on his hurdling debut form when third of 14 in maiden at this course (2½m, good to firm) 35 days ago. Drop back in trip likely to suit on that evidence and open to further progress.

Form: 46-43

Run For Power³⁰⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Philip Byrnes| T: C Byrnes

8/1

Shaped with more encouragement than on her sole outing in bumpers when fourth of 10 in maiden hurdle at Killarney (17f, good to soft) in October. Off since and market probably the best guide.

Form: 04-

Ribadora⁷³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Gary Noonan| T: E McCarthy

80/1

Well held in bumper/pair of juvenile hurdles. RESERVE.

Form: 0-57

Forecasts

Tomthescaffolder (3/1), Penny Express (7/2), Sea Eagle (4/1), Rosenborg (5/1), Run For Power (5/1), Drumconnor Hill (10/1), Earthwatch (10/1), Kingston Silver (25/1), Langage Du Large (25/1), Champagne Diamond (33/1), Storm Eric (33/1), Sum Story (50/1), Tell Me See (66/1), Plastic Paddy (250/1)

TOMTHESCAFFOLDER promised even better for a long way when third in a 2½m maiden at Wexford last month, so is selected to open his account with the drop in trip likely to suit. Sea Eagle and Penny Express are considered the chief threats.
