Menas Miracle^t⁴⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Conor Stone-Walsh| T: Brendan Walsh| OR: 98| CD

13/2

Hurdles winner who was better for her return when opening her chase account over C&D in May. Not in same form when pulled up at Wexford (23f) since but her record at this venue is a solid one and bounce back rates distinctly possible.

Form: 725-61P

Mercurial Sea³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Carl Millar⁽⁵⁾| T: N Slevin| OR: 94

14/1

Maiden with an inconsistent profile but she managed to match this season's previous best when second at Downpatrick (2¼m, good, 7/1) 31 days ago. Has first crack at chasing now but she needs to prove her stamina for this trip.

Form: P86-282

My Cullen^p²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Harry Sexton⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 90

11/1

Still a maiden but returned to form from out of the blue when second at Kilbeggan 3 weeks ago, not going down without a fight once headed on the run-in having made most. Patchy profile overall but a repeat would give him definite claims.

Form: 0-F9052

Thewaybackhome^p³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: John Shinnick| T: T O'Brien| OR: 89

11/2

In good form since sent handicapping over hurdles, cheekpieces on for 1st time when second of 15 at Kilbeggan (25f, good) 35 days ago. One to consider starting out over fences with few miles on the clock.

Form: 970-342

Dunany Point^p²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Kieren Buckley| T: Conor Maxwell| OR: 85

7/1

It's now 12 runs since last win in 2025 but it was just his second outing over fences when third of 13 in handicap at Wexford (15f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Significantly up in trip with cheekpieces back on. Enters calculations.

Form: 689-0P3

Not So Serious^p²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: J J Slevin| T: W J Lanigan| OR: 85| D

20/1

50/1 and cheekpieces on when getting off the mark in 15-runner handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe 24 days ago. Another warranting a second look now attentions switch to larger obstacles for the first time.

Form: 0-0PPP1

Corkbeg^t⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Alan O'Sullivan⁽⁵⁾| T: D H Kelly| OR: 84

10/1

On a long losing run but down to a good mark and he stepped up on reappearance run when posting a good fourth over hurdles at Kilbeggan (2m) 6 days ago. Return to this longer trip will pose no fears back over fences but others more appealing for win purposes.

Form: 3209-74

Bob The Builder^p⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: Eoin Staples⁽⁵⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 82

9/2

Point winner who is yet to taste success under Rules but got back on track following a further stable switch when third over hurdles at Downpatrick (2¾m, good to soft) 5 days ago. Wouldn't be certain to back that up however returned to chasing. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 57-5503

Amburana²³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: Michael Kenneally⁽⁵⁾| T: Padraig Butler| OR: 76

7/1

Maiden over hurdles who produced a somewhat laboured effort starting out over fences when fourth of 15 in handicap at Wexford (25f) 23 days ago. Drops back in trip now and she appeals as a candidate to benefit from the application of some headgear.

Form: 043-704

Fr Gilligansvoyge^b,t²³

Age: 13| Weight: 10-5| J: Patrick M O'Brien⁽⁵⁾| T: J G Carr| OR: 75

14/1

Veteran has found some uncharacteristic consistency of late, ending lengthy losing run at Downpatrick (3m) in June and placed on both starts at Wexford since. Versatile as regards trip and he looks to hold solid each-way claims again in present groove.

Form: 4-42132

Set The Tone^t⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Josh Williamson⁽³⁾| T: D M O'Brien| OR: 75| BF

13/2

Has looked rejuvenated since undergoing a breathing operation. Confirming the promise of her previous outing when successful over hurdles at Wexford (3m) in July. Not in same form back over same C&D last week but she remains low mileage over fences.

Form: 8-0P216

Robin Elite^t²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Daniel King| T: E M O'Sullivan| OR: 72

40/1

Winning pointer but has not shown anything under Rules for a long time.

Form: 0PP-0P6

U Asking Me^p,t²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-8| J: Joshua Halford⁽⁷⁾| T: E Doyle| OR: 78

20/1

Clonmel hurdle winner who finished placed on 2 of his 3 starts over fences last summer but returned from a lengthy layoff out of sorts, well beaten over both hurdles/fences in recent months. RESERVE.

Forecasts

Bob The Builder (9/2), Thewaybackhome (11/2), Set The Tone (13/2), Menas Miracle (13/2), Dunany Point (7/1), Amburana (7/1), Corkbeg (10/1), Our Zebo (10/1), My Cullen (11/1), Fr Gilligansvoyge (14/1), Mercurial Sea (14/1), Tropical Image (20/1), Not So Serious (20/1), U Asking Me (20/1), Pirate Island (25/1), Shantou Show (25/1), Robin Elite (40/1)

Successful over C&D on her penultimate start, MENAS MIRACLE needs to shrug off a lesser effort at Wexford in June, yet her record at this venue is a particularly solid one and she's fancied to bounce back following a short break. My Cullen, Dunany Point, Thewaybackhome and Not So Serious head up an extensive list of credible dangers.
