7/1

Fair hurdler. Career best when winning 11-runner novice hurdle here (2m, good) 13 days ago, making all. More is needed here though if he's to follow up.

Magico^t⁷⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Daniel King| T: W P Mullins

5/1

Useful Flat performer made a successful debut over hurdles at Killarney in May. Disappointing at Punchestown subsequently, and will need to jump better if he's to resume winning ways.

Form: 15

No Mon No Fun^t³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Doyle| T: Jack Doyle| OR: 105

25/1

Much improved from debut with win in 13-runner novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (17f, good) 31 days ago. This demands another step forward however.

Form: F-P41

Rosie's Wings²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Danny Gilligan| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 120

2/1

Much improved for new yard (formerly with Lorna Fowler) and easily bagged 2m novice hurdle at Punchestown in June. Excellent third of 6 in novice hurdle at Galway (21f, good to soft) 22 days ago, clear of rest. The clear form pick.

Form: 566-313

Mino Des Mottes^t²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR: 123

10/3

Fairly useful hurdler. Won on yard debut at Bellewstown in July and backed it up with a good second of 11 in novice hurdle at Galway (17f, good to soft) 25 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Not ruled out.

Form: 5202-12

La Cote Fleurie⁸⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 118

10/3

Built on hurdling debut promise with success in 15-runner novice hurdle at Limerick (2½m, soft) in May. This bumper winner is open to further improvement.

Form: 1-31

Eaglewood¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Phillip Enright| T: Leonard Flynn| OR: 93

125/1

Modest hurdler. 10/1, ninth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (17f, good) 14 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. This is no easy ask.

Form: 8603-09

Katie Can't Count^h1⁶⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Brian Hayes| T: W P Mullins| BF

40/1

11/10, didn't enjoy a smooth passage when a promising fourth of 8 in bumper at Downpatrick (19f, good to firm) on debut 69 days ago. This Order of St George mare is much respected on her hurdles debut. Hooded for first time.

Form: 4

Lakewood Rose⁴²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Miss N C Hennessy⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss N Hennessy| OR: 98

25/1

Fair hurdler. 13/2, respectable seventh of 16 in handicap hurdle at Cork (2½m, good) 42 days ago, doing too much too soon. No forlorn hope.

Form: 664-437

Forecasts

Rosie's Wings (2/1), La Cote Fleurie (10/3), Mino Des Mottes (10/3), Magico (5/1), Facile Ocean (7/1), Lakewood Rose (25/1), No Mon No Fun (25/1), Katie Can't Count (40/1), Eaglewood (125/1)

ROSIE'S WINGS holds the clear edge on form and is fancied to quickly resume winning ways on the back of an excellent Galway third. Hurdling newcomer Katie Can't Count represents Willie Mullins and could emerge as the main danger after a promising bumper fourth at Downpatrick ahead of Limerick scorer La Cote Fleurie.
