Camino Rock¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Josh Williamson⁽⁵⁾| T: M F Morris| OR: 104

40/1

Fairly useful hurdler who was badly out of sorts last season and looked rusty when well held at Galway on return from 6-month break 10 days ago. Has dropped below last winning mark but a big leap of faith required to see him suddenly bouncing back.

Form: 99PPU-0

Harpy Eagle¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Paddy Cody⁽⁷⁾| T: R P Cody| OR: 100

4/1

More miss than hit since finishing runner-up in soft-ground handicap at Galway last October, though ran one of better races when 8½ lengths sixth of 14 to Ocean Murphy in C&D handicap last month. Capable of being involved if building on that.

Form: 2540-66

Marian Avenue⁷²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Philip Byrnes| T: C Byrnes| OR: 99

6/1

Left efforts behind when going down narrowly to odds-on winner in handicap hurdle at Punchestown in May before finishing first passed the post in 2½m event at Limerick 15 days later, subsequently disqualified for causing interference. Up another 5 lb but still relatively unexposed.

Form: P080-2D

Ocean Murphy^p¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 98| CD

13/8

Attracted support and left previous efforts behind switched to front-running tactics when landing 14-runner lady riders handicap over C&D last time. Up 6 lb but could take some pegging back if adopting similar tactics.

Form: F574-91

Isdistheone^t1⁹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Kevin Healy⁽⁷⁾| T: D Queally| OR: 86

2/1

Has yet to better poor form in 3 starts over hurdles. Makes handicap debut for new yard with first-time tongue strap applied.

Forecasts

Ocean Murphy (13/8), Isdistheone (2/1), Harpy Eagle (4/1), Marian Avenue (6/1), Morell River (7/1), It's Bobsled Time (20/1), Camino Rock (40/1)

OCEAN MURPHY showed improved form when getting off the mark over C&D 16 days ago and can follow up despite a 6lb rise. Morell River has won on both visits to this course and rates the main danger, whilst Marian Avenue may still have more to offer at this trip.
